These straps are increasingly used in a wide range of industries, such as steel, paper, cloth, cotton and bricks, and tiles. In the last several years, the popularity of plastic strapping has risen over many other packaging options. This is mainly due to the cost-saving advantages plastic strapping offers over its competitive products and efficiency benefits. Metal seals are not required in plastic strapping because either friction or heat seal is used to weld the strap. Also, damage to goods is significantly reduced at a lower cost per foot without metal seals, and it is created at a lower price. Plastic strapping is developed in compliance with the toughest industry tolerances. It is approved for the use of both brick and timber. It is ideal for heavy-duty loads when good initial tension and retained tension are required because they have splendid retained tension properties. This way, even after the package has settled or its size has shrunk, the strap stays tight around the load. There are various high-speed automatic unitizing systems and hand tools for which this strapping form can be used. It is available in a wide variety of lengths, widths, and gauges. Nowadays, high strength plastic strapping is also available for closed rail and open-top shipments of brick, lumber, and other vehicles' panel products. Due to its lightweight properties, it can be easily folded and shaped from one position to another. This further creates a massive demand for plastic straps across North America.
