Our premium strapping bands

Each of our strapping bands is carefully manufactured and assembled to deliver outstanding performance, ensuring your consignments remain secure throughout transit.

1. (PET) Polyester strapping bands
   PET polyester strapping bands are valued for their excellent resistance to stretching and high tensile strength. These bands are ideal for securing heavy items such as machinery, logs, or steel coils. The elasticity of polyester allows you to tightly secure a range of package sizes and shapes. PET strapping is also suitable for outdoor use, as it maintains its strength even after prolonged exposure to UV light.
2. Plastic PP polypropylene strapping bands
   Our plastic PP polypropylene strapping bands are a cost-effective yet reliable choice. These bands are durable enough to secure cartons, parcels, and other lightweight goods, while remaining light and easy to handle. Although they do not match the tensile strength of polyester strapping, PP bands are widely used in sectors such as e-commerce and general goods distribution, offering excellent value for lighter packaging tasks.
3. Metal strapping
   Our metal strapping is the preferred solution for demanding, heavy-duty applications. Manufactured from robust steel, this strapping band offers maximum protection for your shipments. Its high tensile strength and resistance to impact and abrasion make it ideal for industrial use and challenging packaging requirements. You can rely on our metal strapping to keep your valuable items securely fastened.
4. Composite cord strapping
   Composite cord strapping is a popular alternative for transporting heavy goods. Made from recyclable materials, this strapping band delivers excellent performance while being environmentally friendly. Its design combines the strength of corded polyester with the flexibility of advanced polymer coatings, resulting in a strapping solution that balances durability and sustainability. Secure your loads with confidence using composite cord strapping.
5. Woven cord (textile) strapping
   Our woven cord strapping is a dependable alternative for heavy-duty use, offering the strength of metal strapping without the risk of corrosion. These bands are made from high-tensile polyester yarns woven together for a robust solution. Whether you are bundling construction materials, waste bales, or agricultural products, woven cord strapping bands provide reliable performance across a variety of applications. Trust in their strength to keep your goods secure.

How do I select the right strapping band?

When choosing the most suitable strapping band for your requirements, there are several options available. For robust and durable strapping, both PET strapping and metal strapping are excellent choices. PET strapping, manufactured from polyester, provides high tensile strength and low stretch, ensuring secure packaging and reliable support during transit. Metal strapping delivers outstanding strength and is best suited for demanding applications requiring maximum load capacity. If you need a more flexible and lightweight solution, PP strapping is a cost-effective option, offering adequate strength and versatility. Depending on your needs, you might also consider composite cord strapping or woven cord (textile) strapping for specific packaging tasks. Assessing factors such as the weight of your package, transport conditions, and budget will help you select the most appropriate strapping band for your application.

 

How do the different types of strapping bands compare?

Type of strapping band	Overview	Benefits	Drawbacks
PET strapping bands	PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) strapping bands are strong, high-tensile bands made from polyester. They provide excellent strength and abrasion resistance, making them suitable for heavy-duty use.	– High tensile strength – Resistant to rust and corrosion – Low stretch, maintaining load stability during transit – Suitable for use in a range of weather conditions	– Not ideal for loads with sharp edges  – More expensive than PP strapping bands and some alternatives – PET strapping bands can be less flexible than other materials
PP strapping bands	PP (Polypropylene) strapping bands are lightweight and economical. They are widely used for bundling and packaging light to medium loads. While they have lower tensile strength than PET strapping bands or metal strapping, they are valued for their affordability.	– Lightweight and easy to handle– Compatible with automatic strapping machines – Safe for use on a variety of surfaces without causing damage	– Lower tensile strength compared to PET strapping bands and metal strapping  – Less resistant to UV exposure, limiting suitability for outdoor use – Can stretch under heavy loads
Metal strapping	Metal strapping is a heavy-duty banding solution made from steel, offering outstanding strength and load capacity. It is commonly used for securing heavy or sharp-edged items that require maximum security during transport.	– Highest tensile strength among strapping bands – Ideal for securing heavy and sharp-edged loads – Resistant to extreme temperatures and UV exposure	– Can rust and corrode, so may need extra coatings for outdoor use – Heavier and more difficult to handle than plastic strapping – Sharp edges may damage goods if not handled with care
Composite cord strapping	Composite cord strapping combines polyester cords with resin, providing a high-strength, weather-resistant solution. It is often used for medium to heavy-duty applications and is a strong alternative to metal strapping.	– High tensile strength, comparable to metal strapping – Safer to handle than metal strapping due to its flexibility – Non-corrosive and does not harm goods during transit  – Weather-resistant, suitable for use outdoors	– Generally more expensive than PP and PET strapping bands – Less widely available, with fewer suppliers – Not suitable for extremely heavy loads
Woven cord strapping	Woven cord strapping, also called textile strapping, is produced from woven polyester yarns. It is highly flexible and less likely to damage goods during transport, making it suitable for securing irregularly shaped items.	– Highly flexible and elastic – Does not harm goods or leave sharp edges – Well suited for irregularly shaped loads and lighter packaging – Safe to handle and easy to dispose of	– Lower tensile strength than other strapping bands – Can degrade over time if exposed to sunlight due to UV sensitivity – Not ideal for heavy or sharp-edged loads

 

What is the distinction between strapping and banding?

The terms “strapping” and “banding” are often used interchangeably, and in most cases, they refer to the same process of securing items or packages with straps or bands. However, there can be subtle differences in usage depending on the industry or application.

Generally, both “strapping” and “banding” involve using bands or straps made from materials such as metal, polyester, polypropylene, or other types. These bands are wrapped around goods to keep them tightly together and prevent movement or damage during storage or transport.

In some cases, “strapping” refers specifically to securing heavy or large items, usually with thicker and stronger straps. This is common in industrial settings for bundling construction materials, securing pallet loads, or stabilising large equipment.

By contrast, “banding” can sometimes refer to using lighter or thinner straps for less demanding applications, such as bundling small parcels or securing lightweight goods.

In summary, while there may be minor differences in how the terms are used, the main principle is the same – both strapping and banding use bands or straps to secure items for packaging, shipping, or storage.
