Polypropylene Strapping
Polypropylene (PP) Strapping is a lightweight and economical solution for securing cartons, bundles, and light to medium-duty pallet loads. It is widely used in warehousing, logistics, and packaging operations where reliable load stability is required without adding excess weight or cost.
Manufactured from extruded polypropylene, this strapping is designed for flexibility and ease of handling. It is available in a variety of widths, typically ranging from 5mm to 16mm, along with different thicknesses to suit specific applications. Supplied on reels for both manual and machine use, it is compatible with hand tools, semi-automatic machines, and fully automated strapping systems.
PP strapping is known for its high elongation properties. It can stretch slightly under tension, allowing it to absorb shocks and adapt as loads settle during transit. This helps maintain consistent tension and keeps goods secure over time. Despite its flexibility, it still provides good tensile strength, making it suitable for everyday packaging tasks.
Unlike steel alternatives, polypropylene strapping will not rust or corrode. This makes it safer to handle and ideal for use in a wide range of environments. It also reduces the risk of damage to packaged goods, as it is less likely to scratch or mark surfaces.
The strapping can be sealed using several methods, including buckles, metal seals, or heat sealing systems. It is also available in a range of colours and can be customised with printed text for identification or branding purposes.
Suitable for industries such as retail, manufacturing, and distribution, Polypropylene Strapping offers a dependable and cost-effective way to secure products. It improves load stability, reduces movement during transit, and helps ensure goods arrive safely and in good condition.
