Premium PET Strapping (Embossed)
Premium PET Strapping (Embossed) is built for loads that punish a strap: bundled timber, steel bar, construction material, and export freight that shifts and settles on the way to port. The embossed surface bites into the strap during sealing, so tension holds even on rough, irregular, or heavy-set pallets where a smooth strap can slip.
This is the top tier in CustomPack’s PET strapping band range, running from 224kgf up to 1,867kgf breaking strength across the size lineup. It’s the plastic strap most NZ exporters reach for when steel strapping is still the default but the weight, cost, and corrosion risk no longer make sense.
Product Details
Key Features
- Top-tier strength: 224kgf to 1,867kgf breaking strength across the full width and thickness range, the highest of CustomPack's three PET grades
- Embossed grip: a textured surface that grips harder during sealing, holding tension on uneven or heavy loads better than smooth strap
- 100% recyclable polyester: a genuine green strapping roll, not a marketing label
- Safer than steel strapping: no sharp coil edges, no corrosion, lighter to handle on the floor
- Machine and hand tool compatible: runs on manual tensioners, battery tools, and semi-automatic or automatic strapping machines
Benefits
- Holds tension on heavy loads: Embossed grip bites into the strap at the seal, so hold stays firm even when timber or wool bales shift and settle in transit.
- Outlasts steel in sea air: Salt air corrodes steel strap edges fast. This PET strap resists moisture entirely, holding strength on export routes without rust or cut risk.
- Cuts restrapping on the dock: A loose pallet at the port means rework nobody budgeted for. Higher breaking strength and grip reduce that failure rate on heavy loads.
- Safer than steel to handle: No sharp coil edges, no heavy steel reels to lift. Warehouse staff handle this strap faster and with far less injury risk on the floor.
- Steady grip through a full shift: Embossed texture keeps sealing consistent tool after tool, so tension does not drift between the first pallet strapped and the last.
Applications and Industries
- Wool exporters: many wool bale operations in NZ still run steel strap. This embossed PET strapping band is a proposed like-for-like swap, matching steel's holding strength without the corrosion or the sharp coil edges
- Tyre scrap bale exporters: the same steel-to-PET case applies here. Embossed grip holds compressed tyre bales through yard handling and the trip to port
- Scrap exporters (batteries, aluminium cans, cardboard, metal): mixed, irregular scrap loads shift during freight. The embossed texture keeps tension through multiple handling points
- Lumber and sawmill operators: bundled timber is heavy and unevenly shaped. This is the strength tier and grip level built for that load type
- Construction suppliers: frame and truss, steel plate, aluminium product, and roofing material all bundle well under premium embossed strap, without steel strapping's weight

Frequently Asked Question
What is Premium PET Strapping Embossed used for?
It secures heavy, irregular, or export-bound pallets, timber bundles, and scrap loads where a strap needs both high breaking strength and strong grip to hold tension through handling.
Is Premium PET Strapping stronger than Standard or ECO?
Yes. Premium runs the highest breaking strength range of CustomPack’s three PET grades, from 224kgf to 1,867kgf, built for the heaviest loads in the lineup.
What does embossed mean on PET strapping?
Embossed strapping has a textured surface pressed into it during manufacture. That texture grips harder at the seal point than a smooth strap, which helps hold tension on rough or heavy-set loads.
Can Premium PET Strapping replace steel strapping?
For most heavy-duty applications, yes. It matches steel’s holding strength on loads like wool bales and tyre exports, without steel’s weight, cut risk, or corrosion in sea air.
Is Premium PET Strapping Embossed recyclable?
Yes. It’s made from 100% recyclable polyester, so it holds up under heavy loads without giving up on sustainability.
Which industries use Premium PET Strapping Embossed?
Wool exporters, tyre scrap bale exporters, scrap metal exporters, lumber and sawmill operators, and construction suppliers all use this grade for their heaviest, most demanding loads.
Does Premium PET Strapping work with strapping machines?
Yes. It runs on manual tensioners, battery-powered tools, and semi-automatic or automatic strapping machines.
Where can I buy Premium PET Strapping in New Zealand?
