Choosing the Right Strapping Materials for Your Product, Paper360º March/April 2025

When it comes to securing your products for shipment, selecting the right strapping materials is critical. This decision impacts not only the safety and integrity of your goods, but also your operational efficiency and overall costs of delivery. Improperly applied strapping can increase pressure on products, crushing and damaging them unnecessarily.

Corrugated products like cardboard and paperboard need to be properly compressed, which means the strap used should maintain its tension and allow minimal amounts of give in the bundle. This article explores the key considerations for corrugators in choosing the right strapping materials, from manual versus machine strapping tools to the differences between steel and polyester strapping.
