High Tensile Polypropylene Strapping Tape

Machine grade polypropylene strapping is designed for use with automatic and semi-automatic strapping machines such as Signode, Mosca, Strapack, and Samuel. Hand grade is used with manual tensioners and sealers. Machine grade typically has tighter dimensional tolerances and surface properties optimized for smooth machine feeding and consistent tensioning.

Polypropylene strapping is available in standard widths of 1/4 in, 3/8 in, 1/2 in, 5/8 in, and 3/4 in. Break strength ranges from 200 to 1,500 lb depending on width and grade. Coil sizes include 8x8, 9x8, 16x6, and 16x3, covering a broad range of strapping machine and hand application requirements.

Yes. Polypropylene strapping is available in black, white, and custom colors as well as pre-printed options for brand-forward freight or color-coded load identification. Custom printing supports brand visibility during shipping and helps logistics teams quickly identify shipments by product line, destination, or customer requirement.

Polypropylene machine grade strapping is compatible with most major automatic and semi-automatic strapping machines including Signode, Mosca, Strapack, and Samuel, as well as generic semi-auto and auto models. Always verify the required coil size and strap width specified in your machine manual before ordering to ensure proper feeding performance.

Polypropylene strapping is lighter and lower in cost than both polyester and steel strapping, making it ideal for light- to medium-duty loads. Polyester offers higher elongation recovery and is better for heavy loads or edge-sensitive products. Steel provides the highest break strength. For general pallet and carton bundling, polypropylene is the most economical choice.

Polypropylene strapping pairs with manual tensioners, sealers, battery-powered combination tools, and friction-weld strapping machines. You will also need strapping buckles or seals to complete the strap joint. Edge protectors and strapping protectors are recommended to prevent strap cutting into load corners, especially on boxboard, lumber, or irregularly shaped products.
