9-32mm Custom Color Polyester PET Pallet Packing Plastic Steel Strapping Roll for Packaging
 

What plastic strap do you have?

1. PP (Polypropylene) Strapping

PP strapping is made from a semi-crystalline thermoplastic. Its molecular structure makes it very ductile.

2. PET (Polyester) Strapping

PET strapping is made from the same material as plastic drink bottles (Polyethylene Terephthalate) but is oriented for strength. Its molecular structure makes it very resilient.

 
Let’s see about PET (Polyester) Strapping details together!
 
 
Advantage and weaknesses of PET strapping
 
1.Strengths:

• High Tensile Strength: It is significantly stronger than PP and can handle much heavier and more rigid loads.
• Excellent Recovery & Tensile Retention: PET behaves like a spring. It stretches very little under tension and, when tensioned, it tries to return to its original state. This means it holds its tightness indefinitely, even on loads that shrink or settle.
• Durability: Highly resistant to moisture, most chemicals, and UV exposure (especially colored variants like black). It performs well in a wide range of temperatures

2. Weaknesses:

• Higher Cost: It is more expensive than PP strapping.

 
Specification of PET strap
 

 


 
Application of PET packing belt

• Heavy-duty palletizing (e.g., bricks, metal, building materials)

• Coil and pipe banding

• Shipping containers for export (resists harsh weather and handling)

• Applications where load stability and security are paramount.

How to Choose: PP vs. PET Strapping

Use this simple decision flowchart:
 
1. Is the load heavy, dense, or rigid?

• Yes → Choose PET. Its high strength and tension retention are essential.

• No → PP is a candidate. Move to the next question.

2. Is the load prone to settling, compressing, or shrinking? (e.g., compressed bales, lumber, porous materials)

• Yes → Choose PET. Its excellent recovery will keep the strap tight as the load settles. PP will become loose.

• No → PP is a candidate. Move to the next question.

3. Will the package be exposed to outdoor storage, wide temperature swings, or humidity?

• Yes → Choose PET. Its superior weather and temperature resistance will ensure performance.

• No → PP is a candidate.

4. Is cost the single most important factor?

• Yes → Choose PP. It delivers adequate performance for many light-duty tasks at the lowest price.

• No → Re-evaluate based on the questions above; PET often provides better long-term value for critical applications.
