FAQs / Additional Info
A selection of the most commonly asked questions regarding ecommerce packaging, order fulfillment, and more
What is polypropylene strapping used for?
Polypropylene strapping is primarily used for bundling and securing products during transportation or storage. It’s commonly applied to parcels, light pallets and bundles to prevent items from shifting or breaking during transit.
How strong is polypropylene strapping?
Polypropylene strapping offers a range of breaking strengths. Our products range between 60 kgs to 300 kgs. This makes it strong enough for most packaging applications, especially when securing lightweight to medium-weight goods such as boxes, light pallets and retail products.
Can polypropylene strapping be used with strapping machines?
Yes, machine-grade polypropylene strapping is specifically designed for use with semi-automatic and fully automatic strapping machines, which are commonly used in larger-scale operations for faster and more consistent application of strapping.
Can polypropylene strapping be used outdoors?
Polypropylene strapping is not as resistant to extreme weather conditions as other materials like polyester or steel. Prolonged exposure to UV light or moisture may weaken the strapping over time, so for long-term outdoor storage, other materials might be more suitable.
Is polypropylene strapping eco-friendly?
Our hand polypropylene strapping is made from 90% recycled content, making it a more environmentally responsible choice for packaging.
How do I choose the right break strain for polypropylene strapping?
When selecting polypropylene strapping, it's essential to choose the appropriate break strain to match the weight of the products you're securing. At Tidmas Townsend, we offer hand polypropylene strapping with break strains from 60 kgs to 300 kgs.
Light-duty strapping with a break strain is suitable for light loads, such as small parcels and boxes. Heavy-duty strapping with a break strain of around 300 kg is best for heavier loads, providing extra strength for securing large or bulky items.
Choosing the right break strain ensures that your goods remain secure during transport or storage without risking damage or breakage. Speak to our team for professional advice when making your selection.
