Inter-Strap Steel Straping
In order to secure heavy unit loads for shipment, steel strapping is still a simple and low cost solution, easy to apply and to automate.

Each application is different and needs an adapted solution.

In order to fulfill their obligations as a system sales supplier, Inter-Strap offers a complete range of strapping equipment and strapping material:

  • Strapping hand tools, manual or semi-automatic, when limited packaging needs do not justify automation.

  • Automatic strapping machines, when the number of packages justify the investment.

  • All types and dimensions of steel straps, produced under ISO 9000.

  • Dispensers, seals and other accessories.
Steel strapping has strength but almost no elasticity nor elastic recovery. It is not optimally adapted to loads having a potential loss of perimeter; the strap tension would reduce or even disappear, the strapping would lose it's holding power.

Plastic Strapping
Nowadays, plastic strapping is a well recognized solution for simple, cost effective and easy to automate
  • bundling/grouping of individual products.
    • Example: Bundling of newspapers or magazines.
  • closing and reinforcing of packages
    • Example: Closing of carton boxes.
  • securing of unit loads for handling, storage and transport.
    • Example: Palletizing

For bundling, closing and reinforcing packages, strapping with polypropylene (PP) strap is the usual solution.
Inter-Strap produces thousands of tons of PP strap, from 5 mm width up to 16 mm width. Depending on the application needs, the Inter-Strap programmed includes all types of equipment from simple hand tools to the most automated strapping machines.

For securing unit loads, strapping with polyester (PET) straps is often preferred as it has a holding power which may be higher than steel strapping because of it's high elasticity and elastic recovery.

Inter-Strap is a leading producer of polyester straps from 9 mm width up to 19 mm width, together with a full range of strapping tools, strapping machines and accessories specifically developed for these straps.
