Essential Packaging Supplies from FROMM: A Comprehensive Guide
Choosing the right materials is crucial for securing goods during transport and storage. FROMM Packaging Systems offers a versatile range of high-performance packaging supplies designed to reinforce loads, absorb shocks, and protect products from damage. Below is an overview of some of the key solutions we offer to help you streamline your operations.
Let’s start with a staple of packaging supplies – strapping.
STARstrap™ Plastic Strapping
Made from recycled PET bottles, STARstrap™ offers exceptional tensile strength (up to 2 400 N) and elongation for dynamic loads. Its high elongation capacity absorbs shocks during transit, reducing breakages. Ideal for palletising and bundling in food, beverage, and electronics sectors, this material balances strength with environmental responsibility – giving you the results you need, while also being kinder on the environment.
High-Tensile Steel Strapping
FROMM’s steel strapping delivers superior resistance to abrasion and sharp edges. Available in regular-duty (850 N/mm²) and high-tensile (1 100 N/mm²) grades, widths range from 12.5 mm to 32 mm. These metal straps are perfect for securing heavy equipment, steel billets, and timber bundles, ensuring minimal elongation and maximum retention of load integrity.
Strapping Accessories
A complete system requires robust seals and edge protection. Serrated and lap-over seals from FROMM provide reliable joint strength, while polypropylene or steel edge protectors prevent strap damage on sharp corners. These small yet vital components distribute tension evenly, safeguarding both the strapping and the packaged goods.
Stretch Film
FROMM’s stretch wrap boasts excellent cling and clarity, with films available from 17 µm to 35 µm thickness. Designed for manual or machine application, these rolls ensure pallet stability, dust protection, and moisture resistance. Their elasticity and memory properties maintain consistent grip, reducing film consumption and labour time.
Airpad Films
Protecting your packaged goods is non-negotiable. Yet, so many traditional protective packaging supplies are outdated, inefficient, or expensive.
Our innovative airpad systems produce air cushions on demand, using films that are 99% air and 1% polyethylene. Available in standard and eco-friendly paper-based variants, these solutions provide void fill, corner protection, and interleaving. The lightweight design cuts shipping costs and storage space, while delivering premium shock absorption for fragile items.
