Strapping can be manufactured in many different materials. The most common material, as well as the oldest, is steel strapping. Steel strapping has tried and true methods of strapping and tensioning which have been used for over 50 years. It can be used for heavy industrial type jobs like holding barrels together for shipping, binding brick, cement, or other building materials. You will even find steel strapping in the construction of buildings, bridges, piers, homes, and other structures. Metal strapping comes in, not only steel, but galvanized, stainless, epoxy steel, and other specialties. Nylon is common after steel in that it is just as strong, and can be used in a variety of applications. Cord strapping is a lighter duty alternative, and polypropylene is a cost effective, self welding type of strapping which is more modern, used in packaging of lighter duty goods, as well as boxed goods.

 

No matter the type of shipping your business does, if you are shipping pallets of goods anywhere in the world, strapping is one of those simple necessities which is so very important in commerce and trade because it helps protect shipments so there is a reduced possibility of damage to the products. In-tact products arriving at their destination, of course, means you can keep costs down, and that is always good for your business.
