Intersection Seals & Wire Staples for Steel Strapping

Intersection seals and wire strapping staples help keep steel strapping exactly where you put it. Intersection seals lock two straps together where they cross, while wire staples fasten strapping directly to wooden pallets, crates and lumber. Choose the accessory based on whether you need to secure strap crossings or attach strapping to a wood surface, then match it to your strap width.

How to Choose Intersection Seals and Strapping Staples

Steel strapping secures a load, but straps can still slide out of position during handling and transport. Intersection seals and wire strapping staples prevent that movement by locking straps in place. They help maintain load stability and reduce shifting on pallets, crates, lumber and heavy-duty shipments. Both accessories are made in the USA from durable steel for manufacturing, warehousing, construction, metal fabrication and distribution operations.

Use intersection seals where two straps cross. On palletized loads strapped in both directions, the crossing points are where straps tend to slide. An intersection seal holds the two straps together at a right angle, helping prevent side-to-side movement and keeping the load square during transport and storage. The current intersection seals are sized for 1 1/4" steel strapping and are commonly used in heavy-duty applications with high tensile steel strapping.

Use wire strapping staples to attach strap to wood. When strapping a load to a wooden pallet, crate or lumber bundle, staples fasten the strap directly to the wood surface. This creates a secure attachment point and keeps the strapping properly positioned. Match the staple to your strap width: 3/4" x 5/8" staples fit 3/4" strapping, including regular duty steel strapping, and feature a phosphate-coated finish. 1 1/4" x 7/8" staples fit 1 1/4" strapping.

Intersection seals and staples work alongside standard steel strapping seals and steel strapping tools, which tension and seal the strap ends. To protect the load itself, add steel and plastic corner protectors or pallet edge protectors and corner boards. For truck and railcar shipments, browse our cargo securement accessories.

Frequently Asked Questions About Strapping Seals and Staples

What is the difference between intersection seals and wire strapping staples?

Intersection seals secure two steel straps where they cross on a load. Wire strapping staples are used to fasten steel banding directly to wooden surfaces such as pallets, crates, and lumber. Choose the product based on where your strapping needs to be secured.

When should I use steel intersection seals?

Use intersection seals when steel straps cross and need to be held together to reduce movement. They are commonly used on palletized loads and industrial shipments secured with straps running in different directions.

What size intersection seals are available?

Complete Packaging Products offers 1 1/4" steel intersection seals with a 1.875" seal length. These seals are designed for 1 1/4" steel strapping and are sold in boxes of 500.

What are wire strapping staples used for?

Wire strapping staples fasten steel banding to wood surfaces. They're commonly used on wooden pallets, crates, lumber, and other industrial wood packaging where the strapping needs to remain positioned.

How do I choose the correct wire strapping staple size?

Start with your steel strapping width. Choose the 3/4" x 5/8" staple for 3/4" banding or the 1 1/4" x 7/8" staple for 1 1/4" banding. Also confirm that the staple is appropriate for the wooden surface and application.

Can I use wire strapping staples with plastic strapping?

The wire staples listed in this category are specified for steel strapping. They should not be assumed compatible with polypropylene or polyester banding. Check the product specifications before selecting a fastener for a different strapping material.

Are intersection seals the same as regular steel strapping seals?

No. Intersection seals hold crossing straps together, while conventional steel strapping seals are used to secure the ends of a strap after tensioning. If you need seals for completing a steel banding joint, visit our steel strapping seals category.

Do I need special tools to install these fasteners?

Installation requirements depend on the product and application. Confirm the recommended installation method and tool compatibility before ordering. For equipment used in steel banding operations, browse our steel strapping tools.

Are strapping seals and staples available in bulk quantities?

Yes. Intersection seals are sold in boxes of 500. The 1 1/4" wire staples are sold in boxes of 6,250, while the 3/4" wire staples are sold in boxes of 10,000. Contact Complete Packaging Products for assistance with larger orders and bulk pricing.

Can these fasteners replace the main steel strapping seal?

No. Intersection seals and wire staples serve additional fastening purposes and are not substitutes for the correct joint seal in a tensioned steel strapping system. Choose each component according to its intended function.
