What Usually Triggers the Need for Strapping
Strapping is often adopted after pallets fail under compression or cartons separate during transit. It’s commonly used when stretch wrap alone no longer provides sufficient load integrity.
How to Match Strap Type to the Job
Poly strapping suits light to medium loads, polyester handles heavier tension, and steel is reserved for rigid or industrial applications. Load weight, tension requirements, and handling method should drive the choice.
Mistakes That Create More Problems Than They Solve
Over-tensioning can crush cartons or damage products. Another common issue is mismatching strap strength with seals or buckles, causing failure at connection points rather than the strap itself.
Situations Where Strapping Isn’t Necessary
For uniform, lightweight pallet loads, stretch wrap alone may be sufficient. Strapping adds value when vertical or lateral forces are the real concern.
