Your guide to choosing the right Strapping
March 30, 2020
Strapping is an excellent solution to ensure transportation safety during transportation or mid-to-long-term storage. There are 3 main purposes for strapping: fixing to a pallet, connecting one package to another and providing greater strength. It can be used to protect almost everything, from fragile products to bulky goods.
However, since there are many different types of straps available, how to ensure that the correct straps are used? This article will explain exactly how to operate, and provide you with correct strapping suggestions and techniques.
What to tie up?
After sealing the cardboard box with tape, even if it is a sturdy cardboard box, it can be completely fixed with strapping. It always wraps the package, and the joints are glued or welded together to provide a tight and firm seal that is not easy to break.
Regardless of the size of the packaging, it can be easily applied to everything from standard size cartons to large export boxes and pallets. This feature is particularly useful when fixing several cartons together-then treat it as one package, thus reducing shipping costs. It is also very suitable for bulky items for items that need to be firmly packed and stronger than conventional packaging tape.
Packers and tools
The strapping can be carried out manually using a strapping tool or a strapping machine for fast and efficient processing. Top tips! If a strapping machine is used, no other tools or seals are needed to fix the strapping machine, and the machine will automatically friction weld the strapping to the seal.
For manual strapping, you need to use equipment to generate tension during strapping and seal it firmly. For companies that transport products of different shapes and sizes, the combination of tensioning tools and sealing tools and seals will complete the packaging process, and the convenient function of using it vertically means you can reposition yourself to accommodate awkward loads. Combination strapping tools can be used. These tools can simplify the process of combining the tensioner and the sealing machine into one tool. They can only be used horizontally. This makes the packaging simple and easy to fix products of the same size and shape, and requires sealing.
