WHY IS SECURE STRAPPING SO IMPORTANT?
Did you know more than 50% of load damage is due to incorrect containment?
To prevent damage, ensure that the strap is strong enough to secure the load and that you seal it properly. Strapping is only as strong as its join, so if the seal at the join is weak, it will break apart.
Strapping is available in different sizes and types to suit all loads. The most common types include metal or steel, polyester, poly, and poly woven. The industry also refers to this as banding or lashing.
We produce an extensive variety of strapping and tying items for all uses. Omni Group is an industry leader in packaging, load containment and strapping solutions. Contact us to speak to a specialist about a solution best suited for your needs.
STRAPPING MATERIALS AND TYPES
STRAPPING MATERIALS AND TYPES
Polyester Strapping, also known as PET, is a cost-effective and safe alternative to steel for heavy-duty tasks. A strong and durable material that can handle heavy loads.
Industries such as shipping, and construction commonly use polyester strapping. A reliable option for securing items during transportation. Polyester is strong and used to secure heavy loads like bricks, timber, and tiles.
You can use poly strapping for both manual (hand) and machine application. We have a wide variety and all the accessories and dispensers needed to use it. Poly is short for polythene and people also refer to it as PP and plastic strapping.
Users apply hand grade poly manually and dispense it from a box for convenience and ease of use. This banding is available in different grades and thickness. Tighten the banding with a tensioner, then join it together with a seal clip and crimp to hold it in place and tight.
Machine grade poly is suitable for use on semi-automatic, auto, and fully automatic machines. Automated systems use a machine to wrap a band around a carton or product. The machine tightens the banding and seals it with heat or friction. This automates the entire process for fast and efficient operation.
Steel Strapping is available in a range of widths and thicknesses to suit your needs. Ideal for heavy-duty applications, steel is a common and economical load containment method. We have all the tools you need to secure your loads. This includes cutters, threaders, tensioners, sealers, and dispensers.
Ribbon wound steel rolls comes in smaller coils than rope. This metal strapping is ideal for hand help applications as the roll’s weights are about 11kg compare rope wound steel that is about 45kg. Manufacturers produce steel rope wound on a continuous spool for high-volume usage. A trolley dispenser needs to move these rolls, each weighing approximately 45kgs.
Poly woven strapping is designed to protect your employees and customer from injuries while providing maximum load containment strength. This high tensile material is a popular alternative to steel as it has no sharp edges, and it does not spring back like steel. This woven polyester banding is rust proof and reusable.
Composite strapping is a strong, UV-coated fibre that is as strong as steel. It helps prevent injuries to employees and keeps loads secure. Sharp edges are present when cut, and they do not spring back like metal. This product is a safer and cost-effective alternative to steel.
STRAPPING TOOLS AND MACHINERY
The battery powdered PET Sealless Tool is perfect for securing polyester banding around loads. These sealless tools are ideal from high volume and automated load containment needs.
Companies use poly strapping machines as a high-speed and automatic solution for bundling and securing items. We offer purchase and rental options on this range of machinery. To avoid the capital outlay of buying a machine, you can rent a packaging machine for a low cost monthly free. This includes a comprehensive maintenance and service plan to ensure that you have continuous, reliable operations.
Our ergonomic strapping threader is ideal for helping to secure pallet loads. The fiberglass rod easily bends and attaches to a nylon head. This makes it simple for the user to slide it over pallet bearers. This tool has a rod for threading under the pallet load. It offers ease of use and convenience. This threader replaces the household broom stick that people often use for this task.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What strapping is best for fragile and delicate loads to avoid scratches?
Poly woven strappingis recommended for fragile items. It's soft and minimises damage to delicate loads. Woven polyester strap offers a robust bandwidth similar in strength to steel, but with safer and gentler handling characteristics.
Can you re-use strapping?
Poly woven strappingis designed to be reusable. However, most other types of strapping should not be re-used unless specified by the manufacturer for safety and reliability concerns.
What is composite strapping?
Composite strapping combines synthetic fibres and a pliable material to provide an alternative to steel banding. Its unique composition allows it to be strong and durable while remaining safe and easy to handle. Composite strapping is corrosion-resistant and can absorb shocks, making it ideal for securing loads exposed to outdoor elements.
How do I tension and seal strapping?
Our collection of strapping tensioners and sealers cater to all types of strapping and applications, ensuring a secure fit for your loads during transit.
Strapping sealers (crimpers): These tools are essential for applying metal seals effectively. They have long handles for better leverage, making the crimping action secure and more user-friendly.
Strapping tensioners: Offering a selection of manual and pneumatic models, these tools are vital for tightening straps around goods securely. Available in various strap widths and types, tensioners provide stability for safe transportation. The automaticPET Sealless Strapping Tooltensions and heat welds the strap without the need of buckles or seals.
Manual tensioners suit straps from 12mm to 19mm wide. They are suitable forpolypropylene,PET,composite, orwoven strapping.Steel strapping tensioners are also available for 12mm to 32mm wide banding.Pneumatic tensionersuse compressed air to attain superior grip and tension, making them ideal for heavy-duty requirements.
What is strapping?
Strapping, also known as banding or bundling, is the process of applying a strap to items to combine, stabilise, hold, reinforce, or fasten them. It's commonly used in packaging and shipping to secure goods.
What kind of tools are needed for strapping?
Different materials require different tools. Common tools include:
- Tensioners.
- Sealers.
- Cutters.
- Dispensers.
- Threaders.

- Composite materials.
Can I rent a strapping machine?
Yes, strapping machines can be rented on a low-cost monthly term, avoiding the capital expense of purchasing your own machine.
What is strapping elongation and why is it important?
Strapping elongation is how much a material can stretch when pulled and then go back to its original shape when released. This is important for loads that may shrink during transport because the straps can adjust to keep the load secure.
Considerations:
- Required elongation recovery (critical for shrinking loads).
- Maximum tension to apply without damaging the product.
- Allowable retained tension.
Key points to note:
- Polyester has approximately 70% elongation recovery.
- Poly strap recovery ranges from 20 to 40% based on initial tension.
- Humidity does not influence elongation recovery, but temperature can significantly affect plastic materials, particularly polypropylene.
How do I choose the right strap for my needs?
Safety precautions for metal strap include:
- Wearing protective gear, such as gloves and eyewear.
- Ensuring the strap ends are not facing you when tensioning or cutting.
- Using the appropriate tools correctly.
