Poly woven strapping is recommended for fragile items. It's soft and minimises damage to delicate loads. Woven polyester strap offers a robust bandwidth similar in strength to steel, but with safer and gentler handling characteristics. 

Poly woven strapping is designed to be reusable. However, most other types of strapping should not be re-used unless specified by the manufacturer for safety and reliability concerns. 

Composite strapping combines synthetic fibres and a pliable material to provide an alternative to steel banding. Its unique composition allows it to be strong and durable while remaining safe and easy to handle. Composite strapping is corrosion-resistant and can absorb shocks, making it ideal for securing loads exposed to outdoor elements. 

Our collection of strapping tensioners and sealers cater to all types of strapping and applications, ensuring a secure fit for your loads during transit. 

Strapping sealers (crimpers): These tools are essential for applying metal seals effectively. They have long handles for better leverage, making the crimping action secure and more user-friendly. 
Strapping tensioners: Offering a selection of manual and pneumatic models, these tools are vital for tightening straps around goods securely. Available in various strap widths and types, tensioners provide stability for safe transportation. The automatic PET Sealless Strapping Tool tensions and heat welds the strap without the need of buckles or seals.

Manual tensioners suit straps from 12mm to 19mm wide. They are suitable for polypropylene, PET, composite, or woven strapping. Steel strapping tensioners are also available for 12mm to 32mm wide banding. Pneumatic tensioners use compressed air to attain superior grip and tension, making them ideal for heavy-duty requirements.  

Strapping, also known as banding or bundling, is the process of applying a strap to items to combine, stabilise, hold, reinforce, or fasten them. It's commonly used in packaging and shipping to secure goods. 

Different materials require different tools. Common tools include: 

• Tensioners. 
• Sealers. 
• Cutters. 
• Dispensers. 
• Threaders.  

Sealless Polyester Strap Tool is a great all-in-one tool for quickly and effectively securing and tensions and heat welds the PET straps, eliminating the need of buckles or seals and manual tools. 

Paper Banding is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic strapping and is suitable for light loads. It's made from recyclable paper and has rolls that contain 200 meters of 20mm wide banding. 

Strapping can be made from a variety of materials including: 

• Steel.
• Polyester. 
• Polypropylene. 
• Woven polyester.  
• Composite materials. 

Yes, strapping machines can be rented on a low-cost monthly term, avoiding the capital expense of purchasing your own machine. 

Strapping elongation is how much a material can stretch when pulled and then go back to its original shape when released. This is important for loads that may shrink during transport because the straps can adjust to keep the load secure.

Considerations: 

• Required elongation recovery (critical for shrinking loads). 
• Maximum tension to apply without damaging the product. 
• Allowable retained tension. 

Key points to note: 

• Polyester has approximately 70% elongation recovery. 
• Poly strap recovery ranges from 20 to 40% based on initial tension. 
• Humidity does not influence elongation recovery, but temperature can significantly affect plastic materials, particularly polypropylene. 

Safety precautions for metal strap include: 

• Wearing protective gear, such as gloves and eyewear. 
• Ensuring the strap ends are not facing you when tensioning or cutting. 
• Using the appropriate tools correctly. 
• Keeping your work area clean to avoid trip hazards. 

Thread / Pusher Type Metal Clips for Steel Strap:

• Function: Ideal for heavy-duty applications. They can be used with regular and high tensile steel, rope, and ribbon wound coils. 
• Design: They feature heavy-grade steel with overlapping flanges to withstand high levels of strain and secure overlapping straps. 
• Application: Metal seals offer a tight grip and are well suited for challenging environments that require durable bundling. 

Snap-On Metal Clips for Steel Strap:

• Function: Designed to expedite the strapping process by eliminating the need for pre-threading. 
• Advantages: Fast application, made from heavy-duty steel for a secure fastening of strap ends. 
• Usage: The clips are placed over the strap ends and a sealer tool is used to clamp the metal seal around the banding. 

  Metal Strapping Clips for PET Strap:

• Function: For use with 16mm wide polyester strapping in high-tension applications. 
• Features: These seals are threaded before tensioning, offering extra grip strength due to their serrated interior. 
• Application: A PET sealer tool is required to clamp the metal securely around the strapping. 

 Open Type Metal Clips for Poly Strap:

• Material: Constructed from durable steel and designed for poly strapping. 
• Efficiency: These open-type seals provide a secure join for strap ends, maintaining tightness to prevent loosening or slipping. 
• How to Use: The strap is inserted into the opening of the seal before being sealed closed with a sealer tool. 

For users who are looking for efficient and secure ways to bundle and transport their products, understanding the different types of strapping seals and their application is crucial. Whether you are dealing with heavy-duty steel straps or lightweight poly straps, choosing the right seal will ensure your load is secure during transit. /p>
