Polyester (PET)
PET can be smooth or embossed with a glossy appearance that is very difficult to split. Benefits include:
- High strength/tension
- PET is made in 3/8” minimum
- Low elongation
- Ideal for larger packages
- Available in green or black
- Recyclability/sustainability
- Safer than Steel
- Used with Semi-Automatic, Automatic/Arch and Pallet Strapping machines
Polypropylene (PP)
Polypropylene is an economical solution that is usually, but not always, textured or embossed. Polypropylene is most commonly made in black, white, yellow, and clear.
- PP made in 3/16” minimum
- Easy to open seals
- Better colors, printing & branding
- Lighter weight (30 lb/coil vs. 50 lbs/coil)
- Used commonly for light-duty bundling and arch machines (ex. newspapers)
Steel Strapping
Ideal for industrial applications and extreme loads, steel strapping is rigid, durable and suitable for extreme conditions. Consider variations in tensile strength, coils and application:
- OSC (Oscillated Wound Coil) is wound in a narrow coil (like a roll of tape), commonly used for manual and semi-automatic applications.
- RBW ( Ribbon Wound Coil) is wound in a single layer, typically used in high-volume, automated applications
- Available in High Tensile and or Standard duty and multiple finishes.
- Wide range of width and thickness to fit your operations

Where Does Machine-Grade Strapping Work Best?
Machine grade strapping is most beneficial for medium to large-scale facilities with high-volume packaging operations that require consistent, efficient, and reliable bundling. It is ideal for businesses that need automated or semi-automated strapping solutions to improve productivity, reduce labor costs, and enhance package security.
- Manufacturing: Increases efficiency by automating the bundling of products, reducing manual labor while ensuring consistent and secure packaging for high-volume production.
- E-commerce: Streamlines order fulfillment by quickly and securely strapping parcels, improving throughput and reducing shipping delays for large-scale operations.
- Food Processing: Ensures safe and tamper-evident packaging with high-speed strapping, meeting industry hygiene standards while handling bulk packaging needs.
- Automotive Manufacturing: Provides strong and reliable strapping for bundling heavy or irregularly shaped parts, enhancing logistics efficiency and ensuring product safety during transport.
