Your Essential Guide to Plastic Strapping Tools
When it comes to packaging, bundling and protecting goods, plastic strapping tools lead the field in terms of versatility and usefulness. Suitable for just about any type of goods your business produces, these handy machines are used to tension PP (polypropylene) and PET (polyester) straps around goods, boxes, stacks and pallets to make handling easier, faster and safer.
Uses of plastic strapping tools
The main reasons for using these tools are to secure and protect goods, as well as make it easier to handle, transport and store the goods. This is done by applying tension straps around the boxes that the goods are packed in, which can help reduce theft, spilling or other losses. By bundling and securing goods together and, in some instances, attaching these goods to pallets, the goods are easier to stack and handle.
The benefits include:
- easier and faster handling, which can save you time and money;
- easier stacking and storing, which can result in less damage;
- more secure packaging to curb potential losses; and
- increased customer satisfaction.
Plastic strapping tools are also very versatile and is used by a wide range of industries, including:
- Online retailers
- Courier companies
- Logistics companies
- Furniture manufacturers
- Agriculture
- Food processing plants
- Warehousing
