Producer of both Polypropylene (PP) and Polyester (PET) strapping, ORTPAK understands the fundamentals of plastic strapping.

Polypropylene (PP) Strapping

Manufactured from polypropylene with high elongation for stretch and recovery. We provide both embossed and flat strapping available in multiple colors. Strapping is suitable for light to medium loads.

Polyester (PET) Strapping

Manufactured from polyethylene terephthalate, it is a high-strength strapping solution. With low stretch to maintain tension over time, it is a high tensile strength comparable to steel strap for heavier duty applications.

Choosing the Correct Strapping?

When to use PP Strapping

Strapping light to medium loads of cartons, bundles and pallets
Suited for unitized products which do not expand and shift during transportation
When working in indoor, temperature controlled environments
Ideal with high stretch elongation for compressible loads

When to use PET Strapping

Strapping heavy or rigid loads such as bricks, timber, metals or larger palletized loads
For loads which will be stored outside or in harsh conditions as PET resists UV, moisture and large temperature fluctuations
PET is ideal for long distance shipping to hold tension over time
Use PET to replace steel strap in certain applications
Use when low elongation and high recovery is required for loads to stay tightly bound.
