Understanding the Difference Between PET and PP Straps

When it comes to packaging, choosing the right strapping material is critical. PET (Polyester) straps and PP (Polypropylene) straps are the most widely used—but they serve different purposes.

1. Material Strength

• PET straps are stronger, with high tensile strength.

• PP straps are lighter and suitable for medium-duty loads.

2. Applications

• PET: heavy loads (steel, bricks, export cartons).

• PP: lighter loads (textiles, cartons, consumer goods).

3. Cost Factor

• PP is more affordable but less durable.

• PET is slightly costlier but ideal for long shipments.

4. Durability & Weather Resistance

• PET resists heat, UV, and tension loss.

• PP is more prone to breaking under stress.
