INTRODUCTION TO PET STRAPPING
PET plastic strapping, made from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), is an efficient packaging solution widely used to secure goods, cartons, packaging, pallets, and large-sized items. This product helps keep cargo stable, preventing shifting, falling, or damage during transportation and storage, thereby improving safety and optimizing logistics operations.

FEATURES OF PET STRAPPING
PET plastic strapping offers excellent mechanical properties such as high breaking strength, superior elongation, and outstanding tension retention. Key advantages include:
-
Non-oxidizing and flexible, so it does not damage goods or cartons
-
More cost-effective than steel strapping, helping reduce expenses
-
Environmentally friendly and recyclable
-
Safe and easy to use
-
Higher tensile strength with greater elongation and excellent tension retention
-
Corrosion-resistant, does not damage or contaminate packaged goods
-
High shock absorption during impacts in transportation
-
Reduces pressure on package edges
-
Helps prevent loss and shrinkage of packages
-
Strong resistance to weather conditions and UV rays
-
Reduces material costs (up to 50% savings compared to steel strapping)
-
Lower risk of injury if the strap breaks
-
Safe, clean handling
-
Easy to recycle
Green PET strapping is the most commonly ordered color due to its easy identification, making it the preferred choice for large-volume use by most businesses. Other colors such as red and black are less common due to lower demand.
