Items are located based on the product name and the description of the product. Use more specific searches to narrow your searches. Avoid searches such as "box" or "tape". When searching for a specific box, use the "search" box and enter the size in the following format: Product Information: Once you have located an item that interests you, we present a part number and a short description.

Polyester is the most rigid of all strapping materials. It elongates significantly less than polypropylene supplyforpacking and retains tension over a longer period. Polyester is nick resistant and can be sealed with seals, heat or friction welds. Because polyester offers the greatest strength and highest retained tension of all plastic strapping, it is frequently used on heavy duty loads that need high initial tension along supplyforpacking with high retained tension during handling and storage. Common applications are empty cans and bottles, lumber and heavy, rigid palletizing. Polyester has a smooth, shiny finish and is easy to dispose of and recycle.Polypropylene strapping is the most commonly used and least expensive of all strapping materials. supplyforpacking It is light and easy to apply and recycle. Characteristics include high elongation and elongation recovery, but low retained tension. Polypropylene is an excellent choice for light duty palletizing, unitizing, carton closing and bundling. Because of its embossing (or waffle) pattern, strap thickness is not a useful measurement. A standard 1/2" machine grade strap can be embossed to a thickness of anywhere between .014 and .030, depending upon how deep the embossing pattern is. An overly embossed strap will be thicker, but will have a lower break strength. Carton Reinforcement: A 3:1 ratio of strap to carton weight is recommended. For a 100 lb package this could be done with (1) 300lb tensile strap or (2) 150lb straps. Unitizing and Bundling: A 5:1 ration of strap to carton weight is recommended. Palletized Cases: Required Tensile Strength = (Pallet Weight x 1.5) / # of Straps Delivered When You Need It The items we show on our website and in our printed catalog are stocked in our warehouse...if we offer something for sale, we have it on the shelf.
