Standard PET Strapping (Smooth)
Standard PET Strapping (Smooth) is a green pet strap and polyester strap built for everyday industrial packaging work: pallet loads, cartons, timber, and export freight that needs to stay put through handling and transit. It sits as the practical middle ground between eco-grade PET and premium PET strapping, giving warehouses and logistics teams strong load security without paying for strength they don’t actually need.
This smooth PET plastic strapping runs consistently through manual tools and automatic strapping machines alike. Available across 24 width, thickness, and length combinations with breaking strengths from 221 kgf to 1844 kgf, it covers light cartons right through to heavy-duty pallet strapping for export and freight loads across NZ.
Product Details
Key Features
- Smooth surface finish: Feeds consistently through manual strapping tools and semi-automatic or automatic strapping machines, with no snagging during high-speed dispensing
- 24 size options: Widths from 10mm to 32mm, thicknesses from 0.50mm to 1.30mm, giving you a breaking strength range from 221kgf to 1844kgf on one product
- Green colour, standard 20kg roll weight: Consistent spec across the entire size range, easy to stock and reorder
- 100% recyclable polyester (PET): Made to support circular-economy packaging practices, not single-use plastic waste
- 12% higher strength than eco-grade PET strapping: Built for medium-duty loads that need more containment than an entry-level strap can reliably hold
- Weather and corrosion resistant: Unlike steel strapping, PET doesn't rust and holds tension in humid or outdoor storage conditions
- Compatible with a wide tool range: Works with standard hand tools and most semi-automatic and automatic strapping machines on the market
Benefits
- Higher tensile strength: ~12% stronger than ECO PET strapping
- Load retention: Stays tight through transport, doesn't loosen at the joints
- Shock absorption: Flexes on impact instead of failing outright
- Elongation & tension recovery: Stretches under stress and snaps back, rather than staying slack
- Steel strap alternative: Same holding power, none of the rust, none of the sharp edges

Frequently Asked Question
What is Standard PET Strapping (Smooth) used for?
It’s designed for medium to heavy-duty pallet strapping, carton securing, and industrial load stabilisation. Warehouses, manufacturers, and exporters across New Zealand use it to keep goods stable through storage and transit.
What breaking strength options are available?
This range runs from 221kg up to 1844kg across 24 width and thickness combinations, so you can match the strap to a light carton or a heavy export pallet without switching products.
Is smooth PET strapping suitable for automatic strapping machines?
Yes. The smooth surface feeds consistently through manual tools, semi-automatic tools, and fully automatic strapping machines, which is why it’s a common choice for higher-volume packing lines.
How is Standard PET Strapping different from Eco or Premium PET Strapping?
Standard sits between the two: it offers more breaking strength than eco-grade PET at a lower cost than premium PET, making it a practical default for most warehouse and freight strapping needs.
Can PET strapping replace steel strapping?
For most industrial applications, yes. It offers comparable load security while being lighter, safer to handle, and resistant to rust and corrosion, which makes it a practical steel alternative for outdoor and coastal storage.
What roll weight and size should I order?
Rolls come in a standard 20kg weight. Width and thickness should be chosen based on your pallet or load weight; heavier export loads generally need wider, thicker strap with a higher breaking strength rating.
