Savings
Polyester's unique qualities make it one of the best strapping materials to
use for securing any type of palletized or unitized load. Depending on the
size of steel strapping currently being used, polyester strapping can provide
up to a 25% savings in strapping costs. Polyester can eliminate the need
for metal seals in certain applications which provides additional savings
and reduces product damage that might occur through the use of other packaging
alternatives.
Proven Performance
Samuel Strapping Systems' Research and Development efforts have led to the
introduction of an industrial strength polyester strapping, approved by the
Association of American Railroads (AAR) for open top and closed rail car
shipments of Brick, Lumber and other panel products.
Ease of Disposal
Polyester strapping can be easily disposed of by rolling or bending. Also,
it can be cut into small pieces with our HLC80 Strap Chopper and accumulated
for recycling.
Elongation Recovery
Polyester strapping provides approximately 2% elongation at normal work tension,
which allows the materials to stretch. The strapping will recover this elongation
however, keeping the strapping tight around the package even if the load
settles and shrinks in size.
Moisture & UV Resistant
Because it is plastic, it is moisture resistant and therefore unaffected by rusting
that might occur with other packaging alternatives which may stain or affect
the quality of your product before it gets to its destination. Our polyester
strapping is also UV resistant to protect strapping from long periods of exposure
to the sun.
