Plastic Banding

Selecting the right plastic banding depends on load weight, package type, and how the load will perform during handling and transit.

For light to medium-duty applications, polypropylene strapping is the most widely used option. It is lightweight, cost-effective, and well-suited for palletizing finished goods, bundling cartons, and general warehouse use where high tension retention is not required.

For heavier loads or applications where maintaining strap tension over time is critical, polyester strapping provides higher strength and improved tension retention. It is commonly used for unitizing dense products and securing loads that may shift or compress during transport. Polyester strapping is available in both standard coils and mini coils to support different operational needs.

To support efficient application, Complete Packaging Products offers a full range of plastic strapping tools, including manual combination tools, pneumatic sealless tools, and battery-operated combination tools. Dedicated tensioners and sealers are also available for operations using seals.

For secure closure, plastic strapping seals and buckles are available to match the strap type, width, and tool configuration being used. Selecting the correct seal or buckle ensures consistent performance across packaging operations.

To improve workflow and reduce handling issues, plastic strapping dispensers help control strap coils during application, preventing tangling and improving efficiency in manual strapping environments.

For increased throughput and consistency, tabletop semi-automatic strapping machines provide a practical upgrade from manual tools. These machines standardize tension and sealing while increasing packaging speed in medium-volume operations.

By sourcing strapping materials, tools, and equipment together, businesses can build a complete plastic banding system designed for consistent performance and operational efficiency.
