Versatile and cost-effective bundling for secure packaging and transportation
Strapping band
Strapping, also referred to as bundling or banding, is the process of applying a strap around items to combine, stabilize, reinforce, or secure them during handling, storage, or shipment. In the packaging industry, this method plays a key role in keeping loads intact, preventing damage, and improving the efficiency of logistics. Among various types of strapping materials, polypropylene (PP) strapping is one of the most commonly used due to its affordability, light weight, and suitability for automatic strapping machines.
Polypropylene strapping is specifically designed for light to medium-duty applications. It offers high elongation, meaning it can stretch under load, but has relatively low memory recovery, which means it does not snap back to its original form. This makes it a reliable solution for securing loads that do not require high tension but still need containment. While PP strapping may break more easily than its polyester or steel counterparts under excessive force, it is sufficient for most standard packaging needs and is gentle on fragile or easily deformed items.
Another significant advantage of PP strapping is its compatibility with fully automated or semi-automated strapping machines, which enables high-speed strapping in warehouses and production lines. It comes in a variety of widths and thicknesses and can be sealed using heat, friction, or with metal/plastic buckles. Additionally, polypropylene is 100% recyclable, making it a responsible choice for companies looking to minimize their environmental impact.
PP strapping is also available in different colors, and can be printed with company logos or product information, helping with branding and inventory tracking.
