Shipping
is an essential part of any product-based business, but it come with an assortment of risks. Of these, product damage is one of the most common and costly.
Freight

Strapping

This handbook will explain the most common types of strapping, their advantages and disadvantages, and help you determine which strap is the right one for your needs.
What is strapping?
Strapping fulfills five primary functions in the packaging process:
Unitizing
Bundles of product are assembled into an orderly stack or block. Strapping is then applied as needed to compress the stack together and therefore package it as one “unit” of product. Sample Industries: Metals, Forestry
Palletizing
Large numbers of product are stacked onto pallet for easy transportation and handling. Strapping is used both to retain stack integrity and secure the stack to the pallet. Sample Industries: Bottle & Can, Consumer Product
Baling
Large amounts of loose material are gathered together into one bundle, which is compressed into a “bale” by multiple strap Sample Industries: Cotton, Hay, and Corrugated
Reinforcing
Strapping reinforces pallets or units already secured by other means. Often used in conjunction with stretch wrapping. Sample Industries: Bottle & Can, Consumer Product
Closing
Strapping is used to help close and seal product containers such as boxes and crates. Sample Industries: Meat Packers, Photocopy Paper.
