Metal Strapping

Bundle your heaviest shipments on pallets or in crates—this metal strapping handles more force than plastic strapping. As your shipment is moved, this strapping won't stretch or break, keeping your items tightly bundled. A wax or oil coating makes tensioning smoother and prevents the strapping from getting caught around your material's corners. The edges on this strapping are smooth for safe handling.

Note: To match strapping with compatible accessories, choose items for use with the same strapping group number. Strapping tensioners, seals, kits, and dispensers are sold separately.

Standard Coil—Solid


Standard Coil	Solid Strapping

Solid strapping is stronger than punched strapping.

Painted Low-Carbon Steel—Low-carbon steel will work for most heavy loads that will be stored indoors.

Painted High-Carbon Steel—High-carbon steel strapping is heat treated, making it our strongest and least likely to snap from sudden impact or jolts.

Zinc-Plated High-Carbon Steel—Zinc plating requires more friction to wear away than a painted finish, so it protects against rusting longer.

Standard Coil—Punched


Standard Coil	Punched Strapping

Punched strapping has holes that make it more flexible than solid strapping, so it conforms to irregularly shaped items better.

Painted Low-Carbon Steel—Low-carbon steel will work for most heavy loads that will be stored indoors.

Seals for Metal Strapping


Open Banding Seal	Closed Banding Seal

Use a sealer to crimp these seals onto metal strapping to keep it under tension.

Note: To match with compatible metal strapping, choose items with the same strapping material and width or material and strapping group number.

Open Banding Seal—Open seals are for use on flat surfaces. They snap onto overlapping strap ends during or after application of tension.

Closed Banding Seal—Closed seals are for use on irregular surfaces as well as rounded objects. They feed onto strap ends before tension is applied with a tensioner.
