How to Select the Right Strap Size for Your Products

One size doesn’t fit all in packaging. Choosing the right strap size is essential to balance strength, safety, and cost-effectiveness in exports.

1. Strap Width

  • Narrow straps (9–12mm): suitable for light cartons and bundles.

  • Medium straps (15–16mm): best for textiles, medium loads, and mixed cargo.

  • Wide straps (19mm+): ideal for heavy-duty exports like steel and bricks.

2. Strap Thickness

  • Thicker straps offer higher tensile strength.

  • Match thickness with weight and fragility of goods.

3. Load Type & Handling

  • Fragile goods: softer, flexible PP straps.

  • Heavy, rigid goods: stronger PET straps.

4. Export Distance

  • Long routes = stronger, UV-resistant PET straps.

  • Short distances = lighter PP straps save cost.
