Steel strapping

The particular type of strapping best

suited to a specific application

generally depends on three factors:

1) the strapping's function or purpose,

2) the package characteristics and

3) shipping or handling considerations.

In a specific application, strapping

may perform one or more of the

following functions: package

reinforcement, carton closure,

securement, unitization, baling,

bundling, bracing, palletization,

compression retention and pilferage

reduction.

Package characteristics that

influence strap selection are: weight,

certified.

stability, rigidity, integrity and sharpness

of the edges (sharp edges may demand

heavier strapping or corner

protection).

Shipping considerations that affect

the choice of strapping include: how far

the package is shipped; how it's

handled by both the shipper and

receiver; and where and how it's stored.

If you have questions regarding your

specific application, call your Signode

sales representative for help in

determining your strapping

requirements.
