PP vs PET Strapping: Which Should You Use?

Strap material affects load security, cost and safety.

PP vs PET Strapping: Which Should You Use?

Polypropylene

PP strap is light and economical. It stretches and relaxes over time, so it suits cartons, bundles and light pallets on short journeys.

Polyester

PET strap holds tension much longer and absorbs shocks. It replaces steel on bricks, timber, bottles and heavy pallets.

Machine compatibility

Check the strap width, thickness and core size your machine accepts, and whether it seals by heat or friction weld.
