# Straps snapping or loads shifting? Poly, PET or Steel: pick the right one

Post by Premium Packaging (@premiumpackaging)

Strapping failures and shifting loads can damage products, delay deliveries and create safety risks during storage and transport. Common causes include choosing the wrong strap material, applying insufficient or excessive tension, using unsuitable buckles or seals, and failing to secure loads correctly. Polypropylene (PP) strapping suits lighter packages, polyester (PET) strapping provides stronger tension retention for heavier loads, while steel strapping is suitable for demanding industrial applications. Businesses should match strap strength and width to the load, use compatible tensioning tools, protect sharp edges and check that pallets are stable before dispatch. Regular equipment inspections and correct strapping techniques can help reduce breakages, improve load stability and support safer warehouse operations.
