Polyester Strapping…The Best Choice.

 


Polyester strapping is a versatile material, a better choice than steel when your package requires being compressed, or when it has the potential to expand, contract, or settle.

This is a way of saying that polyester material is elastic, so it can adjust as your shipment adjusts during transit.

PET strapping is also resistant to corrosives and moisture, it will not stain your product.

Width: Polyester strapping most commonly comes in 3/8 inch – 5/8 inch

Thickness: Polyester strapping tends to be thicker than steel strapping with the average thickness ranging from 0.02 inch - 0.05 inch. This thicker material gives polyester strapping the strength required to be a popular alternative to steel strapping, except for those extra heavy load applications.

Elasticity: Polyester has a higher elasticity than metal. This means that polyester can stretch and give if your product shifts, expands or contracts during transit, reducing the risk of damaging your product. With low elongation properties it offers an impressive, retained tension period, and the superior recovery properties of polyester strapping allows it to absorb heavy impacts without breaking.

Cost: Polyester is a more economical choice compared with steel, with longer roll lengths, it also means fewer roll changes and warehouse space required.

In Conclusion: Overall, unless you have a large or extra heavy load, or sharp-edged product that requires sturdy metal straps, polyester strapping is the ultimate packaging option. Save on the cost of materials and labor and increase productivity with longer rolls.

Polyester strap is a recyclable material making it more environmentally friendly, coils are lighter, so more user friendly and softer material reduces potential damage to product or injury to the user.

Why Reinforced Edges on Pallet Wrap?

Image
When it comes to shipping and storage, the stability of the pallet is paramount.  Pallet wrap, also known as stretch film or stretch wrap, is a highly stretchable plastic film that secures items tightly together. But not all pallet wraps are created equal. The inclusion of reinforced edges makes some stretch films stand out in the realm of shipment protection. So, what exactly does this mean, and why should businesses care? Before delving into the specifics of reinforced edges, it is essential to understand the role of pallet wrap. The primary purpose of wrapping pallets is to stabilize and secure products during transportation or storage. Pallet wrap must be durable and resilient to withstand a variety of stresses, including load shifting, vibrations, and even environmental factors like moisture and dust. Reinforced edges refer to the additional strengthening material along the sides of the pallet wrap. This can be in the form of a band of thicker plastic or a mesh-like strip ...
