Textile strapping, polyester strapping or composite strapping are often used where high tension forces are required, such as for heavy machinery or large-volume loads. The materials are tear-resistant and robust, can be attached with ratchets or tensioning devices and are considered an alternative to steel strapping.
However, they are complicated to handle, cannot be reused and require special accessories. Once tensioned, the straps can hardly be adjusted flexibly – a disadvantage for mixed or sensitive packaged goods.
sanstrap® stretchbands are the modern alternative for companies that want to work economically and flexibly. They are particularly suitable for medium loads, changing pallet formats and internal processes. Instead of high tensile force, they rely on targeted tension thanks to their flexible material.
Conclusion:
Textile strapping bands have their place – but if you want fast processes and less material usage, mit sanstrap® is more efficient and safer.
