Strapping band instructions - Strapping packages & pallets

For professional companies, it's important that your shipments remain safe and intact throughout their entire transport journey. You can ensure these packages are always secure by properly packaging them before they leave the warehouse. Proper strapping keeps packages secure during transport, eliminating the risk of damage to your cargo. In this blog post, we explain how to strap packages and pallets for efficient and secure shipping, ensuring professional load securing .

Strapping Guide: An introduction to strapping and its importance

Strapping is a process in which durability and security play a key role. Materials such as steel straps, plastic straps, or ropes are used to secure loads on pallets or in containers. The importance of this technology is enormous and often underestimated. Strapping ensures that goods are not damaged not only during transport but also during storage. Optimal stability can be guaranteed by using suitable straps and materials. Therefore, it is important that professional technology and skilled personnel are used during strapping. This is the only way to guarantee effective and safe use.

Different types of strapping

Strapping is commonly used in the logistics industry to securely hold goods in place during transport. However, there are different types of strapping that can be used depending on the requirements and intended use. These include polypropylene ( PP strapping ), polyester ( PET strapping ), polyester thread structure ( hot melt strapping ), polyester fibers ( PES strapping ) or steel straps. Each type has its own strengths, such as the high tear resistance of steel straps or the stretchability of polyester straps . It is important to choose the right strapping for the specific item to avoid transport damage or loss. As a professional in the logistics industry, you should be aware of the different types of strapping and their advantages and disadvantages in order to make the best possible choice.
PET strapping tape 12 x 0.6mm HQ, 2,500m per roll
This green, waffle-shaped PET strapping is of machine quality and is therefore extremely versatile. In addition to strapping individual packages , it is also ideal for pallet strapping single- or multi-layer packages , particularly those with light to medium weights. Compared to PP strapping, PET straps have a significantly lower elongation of only around 15 percent and greater tear and splice resistance . Thanks to its high stiffness, it can also be easily fed under pallets. The linear breaking force of this PET strap, which basically depends on the strap thickness and width, is around 272 kg. Due to its narrow width, it is suitable for most manual and automatic strapping tools, such as a reel tensioner or a battery-powered strapping tool suitable for PET straps. The tape can also be loaded into a dispenser , which greatly aids handling. This requires that the dispenser is suitable for tape rolls with a core diameter of 406 mm . To reinforce the edges of particularly delicate outer packaging, we recommend using suitable edge protectors made of metal, plastic, or even particularly inexpensive cardboard . This is useful for bulk orders and storage: 48 of these rolls fit on each pallet.

Strapping Instructions: Step-by-step instructions for using strapping

Strapping is often used to secure products and packages during transport or storage. A step-by-step guide can help make the process efficient and safe. First, the strapping should be wrapped around the product or carton as tightly as possible. The handle should then be placed on top of the package, and the strap should be pulled through the metal sealing device and pulled taut. The sealing pliers should then seal the two ends of the strap to prevent the strap from coming loose. It is important to work carefully and precisely to ensure that the product or carton is not damaged during transport.


Safety tips for using strapping

The use of strapping is essential in many industries for the safe transport of goods and loads. However, there are also risks that can be avoided. Therefore, some important safety tips are crucial: Use only durable and suitable straps , ensure sufficient tension when strapping, and regularly check the straps' fit. You should also wear appropriate protective equipment when cutting straps and never pull the straps over sharp edges. With these simple measures, you can increase safety when using strapping and prevent accidents.


Tips for choosing the right strapping

Selecting the right strapping for a specific task is crucial for the safe transport of goods. Depending on the weight and size of the load, as well as the transport conditions and means of transport, it may be necessary to choose a specific strapping. The most important tips for selection are knowing the strap's load-bearing capacity, using compatible processing equipment , and considering quality standards. It's also important to consider using strapping of the correct width and thickness, as well as the correct tension band. Following these tips can ensure safe and effective packaging .

FAQ: Instructions for strapping band and strapping tool

How do you use strapping correctly?

Strapping is placed around the package, the ends are fed into the strapping tool , and pulled taut with a tensioning lever. The connection is then secured using a sealing sleeve, clamp, or welding process, and the excess strap is neatly cut off.

What important safety rules apply when strapping?

Wear protective gloves when tensioning and cutting the tape , check the tension regularly, and inspect the device for functionality and cleanliness after each use. Use only the correct tape and seal types and follow the manufacturer's operating instructions to avoid injuries and transport damage.

How does a manual strapping tool work?

The tape is inserted into the device, pulled using the tensioning lever, and once tensioned, it is sealed tightly using the integrated mechanism or a locking sleeve. With combination devices , tensioning, sealing, and cutting are performed automatically in a single step .

What is the difference between PP strapping and PET strapping when strapping?

PP strapping is more flexible and primarily suitable for light to medium-weight packages , while PET strapping offers greater tensile strength and is used for heavy or sharp-edged loads. The tool settings and closure types must always be appropriate for the respective strap type.

What should be observed when operating a strapping tool?

The operating instructions for all equipment in the workplace must be available at all times and read by all employees. They include information on the area of application, hazards, maintenance intervals, what to do in the event of malfunctions, and protective measures , and are part of the occupational health and safety regulations.
