Plastic strapping is ideal for multiple uses when shipping a variety of products. Poly strapping is often used to complement stretch film during load stabilization. Polypropylene strapping is used to bundle products together for retail sales. Polyester strapping is great for heavier loads and is commonly used in place of metal strapping. Polyester strapping offers many benefits over steel strapping. If you have any questions about our plastic strapping products, feel free to call us at 1-800-441-5090.

*Embossed Plastic Strapping is made with a diamond-shaped texture on the plastic strapping during the extrusion process. Embossed plastic strapping is beneficial because of its ability to provide friction against the strapping buckle or seal, therefore reducing slipping.
