Polypropylene Plastic Strapping

Polypropylene strapping is lighter and lower cost, making it ideal for light- to medium-duty applications. Polyester strapping offers higher tensile strength, better retained tension, and greater resistance to elongation, making it suited for heavier loads or applications where load shift is a concern. PP strapping break strength typically ranges 200–1,500 lb, while polyester handles heavier demands.

Polypropylene strapping from Take 2 Direct is available with break strength ranging from 200 to 1,500 lb depending on the width and grade selected. Standard widths run from 1/4 in to 3/4 in. For most light- to medium-duty pallet and carton applications, a 1/2 in or 5/8 in PP strap in the appropriate grade provides sufficient holding strength.

Standard widths available include 1/4 in, 3/8 in, 1/2 in, 5/8 in, and 3/4 in. Each width is available in machine grade and hand grade options, and coil sizes include 8x8, 9x8, 16x6, and 16x3 to accommodate various strapping machines and hand tool setups.

Machine grade polypropylene strapping is designed for use with automatic and semi-automatic strapping machines such as Signode, Mosca, Strapack, and Samuel equipment. Hand grade strapping is formulated for use with manual tensioners and sealers. Choosing the correct grade ensures consistent feeding, proper sealing, and reliable joint strength for your application.
