Metal Strapping
Bundle your heaviest shipments on pallets or in crates—this metal strapping handles more force than plastic strapping. As your shipment is moved, this strapping won't stretch or break, keeping your items tightly bundled. A wax or oil coating makes tensioning smoother and prevents the strapping from getting caught around your material's corners. The edges on this strapping are smooth for safe handling.
Solid strapping is stronger than punched strapping. Punched strapping has holes that make it more flexible than solid strapping, so it conforms to irregularly shaped items better.
Low-carbon steel will work for most heavy loads that will be stored indoors.
High-carbon steel strapping is heat treated, making it our strongest and least likely to snap from sudden impact or jolts. Zinc plating requires more friction to wear away than a painted finish, so it protects against rusting longer.
Note: To match strapping with compatible accessories, choose items for use with the same strapping group number. Strapping tensioners, seals, kits, and dispensers are sold separately.

Seals for Metal Strapping
Use a sealer to crimp these seals onto metal strapping to keep it under tension.
Open seals are for use on flat surfaces. They snap onto overlapping strap ends during or after application of tension. Closed seals are for use on irregular surfaces as well as rounded objects. They feed onto strap ends before tension is applied with a tensioner.
Note: To match with compatible metal strapping, choose items with the same strapping material and width or material and strapping group number.
