Poly strapping machines require machine grade poly strapping.
Machine grade poly strapping, also known as machine grade polypropylene strapping, is specially designed to be applied using a strapping machine or a tabletop banding machine. It is equally suitable for both semi-automatic and automatic strapping machines.
Compared to hand grade poly strapping, machine grade poly strapping is a more inexpensive packaging solution. It can wrap up work faster and allow businesses to minimize labor costs.
The machine grade poly strapping’s high elongation and recovery, as well as its low tension retention, make it an excellent choice for secure and speedy machine strapping and palletizing.
Poly strapping tools allow you to tighten & fasten polypropylene strapping.
Hand grade poly strapping, also known as hand grade polypropylene strapping, is a user-friendly packaging solution that is applied using manual poly strapping tools such as feeders, tensioners and sealers. It is ideal for hand strapping and palletizing in low to moderate volumes.
Hand grade poly strapping can be manually applied using wire buckles and tightened using manual strapping tools. The ends of the poly strapping can be fused together using a handheld friction weld, a heat sealing strapping tool or a plastic strapping seal.
Hand grade poly strapping is able to stretch for a snug fit during packaging and has low tension retention.

Compared to other strapping materials like steel strapping and polyester strapping, polypropylene strapping or poly strapping is a more affordable and more popular packaging solution. Its light weight, simple application and recyclability also add to its popularity. Poly strapping only weighs about half as much as steel strapping.
Poly strapping can be used in a number of applications such as light-duty palletizing, light-weight bundling and reinforcement packaging. It is available in hand grade and machine grade qualities and can be applied to packages using strapping tools or a strapping machine.
Use poly strapping to effectively bind and seal freight packages.
Keeping delivery goods safe and secure during handling and transportation is a major concern for many businesses, especially those that ship a large number of goods on a regular basis.
Polypropylene strapping, or poly strapping for short, is a very effective way to keep boxed goods and packages securely bound during shipping and storage. It provides more strength and security than ordinary packaging tapes.
In addition to keeping shipped items safe and sound while in transit, poly strapping frees up valuable storage space by neatly bundling boxes and packages together.
Polyester Strapping is a strong and light application for securing your packages.
Polyester strapping is the strongest of all plastic strapping material. The highest initial tension can be applied and retained over a period of time. This form of strapping is smooth and requires the use of scored seals. Polyester strapping can be used and secured with friction weld tools or can be heat sealed.
Polyester strapping is the other poly strapping. Polyester strapping takes less time and effort to use when compared to steel strapping. It will not snap back or recoil when cut and there are no sharp edges to handle. This type of strap only elongates one to two percent when stretched within it’s limits as opposed to to the five percent elongation seen with polypropylene. Impact resistance of polyester strapping two time of that of the same sized steel strapping which helps to assure your product arrives in the same shape as it was when shipped. Just as the polypropylene, polyester strapping is available for hand and machine application usage.
