Poly vs PET vs Steel Strapping: A Complete Buyer’s Guide

Poly, PET and steel strapping are designed for different load requirements. Polypropylene strapping is lightweight, flexible and suitable for bundling cartons and securing light to medium pallet loads. PET strapping offers higher strength and excellent tension recovery, making it a practical choice for heavy loads that may settle or shift during transport. Steel strapping provides the highest strength and almost no stretch, making it suitable for very heavy, rigid loads such as steel, pipes, machinery and timber packs. When choosing strapping, consider the load weight, rigidity, transport conditions and required tension. Matching the correct strap with suitable tools and seals can improve load security, reduce breakage and support safer warehouse and transport operations.
