Think all plastic strapping is the same? Think again. A poorly chosen strapping material can lead to costly product damage, failed shipments, and safety risks. In fact, studies show that over 30% of damage during transport is due to improper packaging and securing methods — and plastic strapping plays a critical role.
In today's fast-paced logistics and manufacturing industries, ensuring that your goods are properly secured isn't just a packaging issue — it's a business-critical decision. But with so many suppliers and materials on the market, how do you know which plastic strapping is truly high quality?
In this post, you'll learn:
What plastic strapping is and why it matters
The key factors that define quality
How to test and compare different types of strapping
What sets ORTPAK apart as a global supplier of premium PP and PET strapping
Let's dive in and make sure your next buying decision is a smart one.
Plastic strapping is a cost-effective, flexible, and strong solution for bundling and securing goods.
Choosing high quality plastic strapping improves load security, reduces costs, and boosts operational efficiency.
PET and PP are the two most common types, each with distinct usage scenarios.
Always evaluate material, tensile strength, customization, and supplier credibility before purchasing.
Plastic strapping refers to a packaging product made from synthetic materials like polypropylene (PP) or polyester (PET), used to bundle, reinforce, or secure products during shipping and storage.

Not all plastic strapping is created equal. Choosing low-quality strapping can cause:
Breakage during transit
Machine jams in automated systems
Extra labor time
Damaged goods and financial losses
✅ Increased tensile strength: Holds heavier loads without snapping
✅ Consistent thickness and width: Ensures smooth machine operation
✅ Better elongation and memory: Absorbs shock without losing tension
✅ Custom printing: Enhances branding and traceability
✅ Eco-friendly options: Reduces environmental impact
Choosing the right plastic strapping involves multiple factors. Here's a detailed breakdown:
| Factor | PP Strapping | PET Strapping |
|---|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | Medium (up to 300kg) | High (up to 1500kg) |
| Weight | Lightweight | Heavier |
| Cost | Lower | Higher |
| Recyclability | Recyclable | Highly recyclable |
| UV Resistance | Low | High |
| Applications | Cartons, bundles, light pallets | Heavy pallets, bricks, steel, cotton |
Strap Width & Thickness: ORTPAK offers widths from 5mm to 32mm, thickness from 0.45mm to 1.3mm.
Embossed vs Smooth: Embossed provides better grip; smooth is preferred for printing.
Color Options: ORTPAK offers standard and custom colors — red, green, black, white, yellow, and more.
Logo Printing: Customizable for brand visibility and anti-counterfeit purposes.
Roll Weight: From 3kg to 330kg jumbo coils, compatible with all major machines.
| Type | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| PP Strapping | Made from virgin or recycled polypropylene | Light-duty packaging, e-commerce, food cartons |
| PET Strapping | High tensile, weather-resistant | Heavy-duty loads, bricks, steel, cotton |
| Embossed Strapping | Textured surface for grip | Manual and machine use |
| Printed Strapping | With logo or text | Branding, security |
| Jumbo Coils | Large rolls for automation | High-speed automatic bundling lines |
ORTPAK's PET strapping is particularly popular in the steel, cotton, and construction industries, while our PP strapping is widely used in food, logistics, and general packaging.
Before placing a bulk order, always validate the plastic strapping quality through these methods:
Check the maximum force the strap can withstand before breaking. ORTPAK provides test data for all products.
Measure how much the strap stretches before it returns to shape. High memory helps absorb shock.
Ensure rolls have consistent weight and dimensions, especially for machine operation.
Poor edge quality may damage products or jam machines.
Check for color fading and print clarity, especially for custom-printed straps.
Test on both manual and automated tools to ensure smooth feeding and cutting.
When sourcing plastic strapping, price alone should not drive your decision. Here's what to look for in a dependable supplier:
✔️ In-house manufacturing (not just trading)
✔️ ISO, SGS, AAR, MSDS certifications
✔️ Customizable options (color, size, printing)
✔️ Experience in your industry
✔️ Support for small and bulk orders
✔️ Clear communication and fast response
✔️ Packaging and logistics capabilities
