Premium PET Strapping (Smooth)
Premium PET Strapping (Smooth) is engineered for exporters, manufacturers, and heavy industry that cannot risk a load shifting mid-transit. This heavy-duty polyester strapping delivers the highest tensile strength in the CustomPack range, with superior tension retention that holds firm across long export routes, rough handling, and extended storage. Built as a direct alternative to steel strap, it secures medium to heavy loads without the rust, snapback risk, or handling injuries steel brings to the dock.
The smooth surface finish feeds cleanly through manual tools and automatic strapping machines alike, cutting jams and tension loss on high-volume PET strapping lines. Better impact resistance means the strap absorbs shock during freight handling instead of failing at the buckle, and its low elongation keeps pallets locked tight from warehouse to wharf.
Product Details
Key Features
- Smooth Finish: Feeds easily through hand and machine tensioners without snagging.
- High Tensile Strength: Holds heavier, denser pallet loads securely in transit.
- Tension Retention: Maintains grip over long storage or transit periods.
- Weather Resistant: Performs reliably in moisture and temperature changes.
- Recyclable Material: Made from PET, a green strap that supports sustainable packaging goals.
Benefits
- Safer to Handle: No sharp edges or metal burrs, reducing cut and injury risk during manual strapping, unlike steel strapping.
- More Practical to Stock and Use: Lighter than steel strap, so tensioning tools last longer and staff can stock more rolls on-site without the extra bulk or weight.
- Consistent Load Security: Holds tension across mixed pallet weights, reducing load shift risk during multi-stop freight or long-haul transport.
- Lower Environmental Impact: Recyclable PET means less landfill waste than non-recyclable strapping, supporting sustainability-conscious procurement.
- Reduces Freight Weight: Lighter than steel strapping, helping reduce total pallet weight for freight without compromising strength on medium to heavy loads.
Typical Applications
- Construction suppliers: Bundles frame and truss, steel plate, aluminium products, and steel roofing without steel strap's weight or corrosion risk
- Iron and steel bar suppliers: Highest breaking strength in the range, built for heavy palletised steel loads
- Manufacturers: Premium strength for heavy components moving through automatic strapping lines
- Warehouses: Top-tier smooth strap for the heaviest daily loads needing clean machine feed
- Exporters: Maximum hold for high-value palletised freight headed to port

Frequently Asked Question
When would you use Premium PET Strapping (Smooth)?
It’s built for heavy-duty pallet strapping, export packaging, and securing medium-to-heavy industrial loads that need consistent tension over long transit.
How is premium PET strapping different from standard PET strapping?
Higher tensile strength and better tension retention for heavier loads and export conditions where standard grade isn’t rated to hold.
Can this replace steel strapping?
Yes, for most medium-to-heavy applications. It matches steel on holding strength for these loads, doesn’t rust, and is safer to handle, without steel’s snapback risk.
Which industries use this strap?
Exporters, manufacturers, steel, timber, construction, and freight operators anywhere pallets need to survive rough handling and long transit.
Is it suitable for export shipping?
Yes, superior tension retention is exactly what long-distance export packaging needs to keep loads secure for the full journey.
Does it work with automatic strapping machines?
Yes. The smooth finish is designed for clean feed through manual tools, semi-automatic, and fully automatic strapping equipment.
What widths and breaking strengths are available?
12mm to 25mm widths with breaking strengths from roughly 237 kgf to 1976 kgf; see the size table above for exact specs per roll.
Is PET strapping resistant to moisture and corrosion?
Yes, unlike steel strap, PET strapping doesn’t rust or degrade in damp warehouse or outdoor storage conditions.
How do I choose the right width and thickness?
Match it to your pallet weight and required breaking strength; heavier loads or longer export routes need a wider, thicker strap.
Where can I buy premium PET strapping in NZ?
CustomPack ships Premium PET Strapping (Smooth) from its Auckland base to businesses nationwide, with custom widths and breaking strengths available by request.
