PP Strapping - Preview

Consumables  ›  Polypropylene strapping

Polypropylene (PP) strapping for packaging machines.

Machine strap for lighter and medium loads at consistent throughput, across standard widths and gauges. Sourced to spec and matched to your machine by the engineers who service it.

PP vs PET

When PP is the right choice.

PP is the most common machine strap, and usually the better, cheaper fit for everyday loads.

Heavier, rigid or sharp-edged loads, or long transit where tension must hold? PET is the better fit. See PET strapping →

Lighter or medium loadsWhere PP holds the load without the cost of PET.
Standard transit
High-volume box closing and bundlingFast, consistent feed on automatic lines.
Cost-sensitive, high-throughput linesThe economical choice at volume.

Light and fast
Lightweight and easy to run at speed on automatic lines.
Consistent feed
Feeds and seals cleanly for reliable box closing and bundling.
Recyclable
A recyclable, widely used machine strap.

Where it's used: cartons and box closing, light pallets, bundling, print and mailing, general transit.

Getting the spec right

We'd rather get it right up front.

Strap width is only the starting point. What you're strapping, how heavy it is, how it's packed and what machine you're running all decide which spec actually works. Too light a break load and the strap fails in transit; the wrong gauge jams the head. We'd rather ask the right questions up front than send you a coil that doesn't perform.

New strap or switching supplier?
We'll run a trial with you
We normally come to site and run a trial coil with you, so we can review how it performs on your machine and product before you commit to volume. If you just want a like-for-like swap of what you run now, we can do that just as easily.
Tell us what you're strapping and we'll advise on spec.
