Strapping & Tape – the key to safe and sustainable transport

As e-commerce continues to grow, so do the demands for secure transport. Poorly secured shipments can lead to damage, returns, and increased costs – both financially and environmentally. By using smart strapping and the right tape, you can prevent problems and create more sustainable transport solutions.

Strapping with PP and PET – stability and safety for every shipment

Strapping is an effective way to secure and stabilize goods during transport. By applying straps around boxes or pallets, you reduce the risk of movement, which increases safety and protects your products.

Common types of strapping:

PP strapping – lightweight, flexible, and cost-effective. Ideal for boxes, lighter pallets, and bundling. It’s also recyclable and easy to handle.
PET strapping – stronger and more durable than PP. Suitable for heavier loads or longer transports where high tensile strength is required. PET strapping can often replace steel strapping, making it a more sustainable alternative.

Whether you’re shipping small parcels or heavy pallets, there’s a strapping solution that fits your needs.

Tape - a cornerstone of packaging security

Tape plays an important role in sealing boxes and securing smaller parcels. The choice of tape affects both durability and transport safety.

Common types of tape:

PP and PVC tape – strong sealing, standard choice for boxes and parcels.
Paper tape – an eco-friendly alternative that can be recycled together with the box.
Machine tape – efficient solution for automated packing lines and large volumes.
Strapping tape – used for closing and bundling heavy goods.

By combining the right tape with appropriate strapping, you create a smart and sustainable packaging solution that protects your goods all the way to their destination.

Four quick tips for best results

Adapt strapping and tape to the product’s weight, size, and transport conditions.
Use the right tools – from simple dispensers to fully automatic strapping machines.
Choose sustainable materials, such as recyclable straps and eco-friendly tapes.
Make sure staff are properly trained in handling and application.

Summary

Packaging security is a crucial part of modern transport.

With the right strapping and taping, you reduce the risk of damage and returns – while benefiting both your customers and the environment.
