How to Choose the Right Pallet Strapping
Choosing the right pallet strapping depends on the weight of your load, product type, storage conditions, transport method and how often your team straps pallets or cartons.
Load Weight
Light loads may only require polypropylene strapping, while heavier palletised freight may need PET strapping, composite strapping or steel strapping.
Product Type
Cartons and boxed goods are often suited to plastic strapping, while sharp-edged, rigid or heavy industrial products may require steel strapping.
Indoor or Outdoor Storage
If products are exposed to outdoor conditions, freight movement or extended storage, stronger strapping with good tension retention may be required.
Manual or Machine Application
Low-volume users may prefer manual strapping tools or pallet strapping kits. Higher-volume warehouses may benefit from electric strapping machines, battery powered strapping tools or automatic pallet strapping machines.
Freight and Export Requirements
Products travelling long distances or being exported may require stronger pallet load containment to withstand movement, vibration and handling during transport.
