Frequently Asked Questions – Industrial Strapping
• What is the difference between PP, PET, and Steel strapping?
PP strapping is ideal for lightweight cartons and consumer goods, PET strapping is designed for medium to heavy pallet loads with excellent tension retention, while steel strapping provides maximum strength for extremely heavy or rigid loads such as steel coils and machinery.
• Which industries use PET strapping instead of steel strapping?
Many industries including bricks, timber, paper, beverages, textiles, and construction materials have shifted to PET strapping because it provides excellent strength while being lighter, safer, and corrosion resistant.
• How do I select the correct strapping width and thickness?
The correct specification depends on product weight, pallet dimensions, transportation method, and required breaking strength. GCC assists customers in selecting the most suitable strapping solution.
• Are your strapping products compatible with automatic machines?
Yes. GCC manufactures strapping suitable for manual tools, battery-operated equipment, semi-automatic machines, and fully automatic high-speed strapping systems.
