Features and Benefits of Poly Strapping
Poly strapping or Poly Propylene strapping has become the preferred choice of packaging industry for several reasons. Lighter than steel yet amazingly strong, it is much less expensive to produce and is fast replacing the popular steel strapping. It comes in a wide spectrum of thicknesses, widths and variations, all making it ideal for use in light, medium and heavy duty packaging and bundling.
When compared to steel strapping, poly strapping is more prone to stretching, hence making it a less favored option for packaging solid or heavy objects. It is also prone to degrade under strong UV rays. However, manufacturers cleverly take care of this with a coat of black paint, a powerful UV inhibitor thus protecting it from any undue damage caused by harmful Ultra Violet rays.
Some of the benefits of using poly strapping include the below:
- Producing poly propylene strapping proves to be energy and cost efficient option for most manufacturers. Operational costs are also significantly reduced, making it a widely produced and less expensive strapping tool.
- It comes with all edges blunted. Therefore such strapping is risk free and safe to use.
- It comes with high elongation and can additionally be printed on or embossed, making it safer while increasing marketing possibilities.
All these make poly strapping tools an asset in the packaging industry. The normal break strength of such tools is considered to be about 600 pounds, a large weight by any standard. Due to its many advantages, it is extensively used in the railroad, paper, lumber, aluminum and other supply chain industries.
Some popular strapping tools in the polyester category include seals and buckles, strapping dispensers, packaging line engineering and automatic strapping systems, tabletop machines, strapping machines and pallet strapping machines.
