General Purpose PET Strapping, Built For The Line
General Purpose PET Strapping is our general-purpose polyester (PET) strapping — the everyday workhorse for carton sealing, case bundling and unitizing goods on a pallet. It is made from 100% PET resin, giving it a high strength-to-weight ratio, good elongation recovery and resistance to moisture, unlike fibre or paper-based alternatives.
It runs cleanly through both hand tensioning tools and semi-automatic strapping heads, with a smooth pay-off that reduces snagging on the line. Widths, thicknesses and coil sizes can be produced to match your existing strapping equipment.
Key Features
Strong for its weight
High tensile strength relative to strapping thickness, so loads stay secure without excess material.
Weather & moisture resistant
PET will not rot, rust or lose strength when exposed to humidity — unlike paper or fibre strapping.
Smooth, consistent pay-off
Precision-wound coils feed cleanly through hand tools and machine heads with fewer stoppages.
Recyclable construction
100% PET strapping can be recycled at end of life, in line with most facility waste streams.

Applications
Available Colours
Supplied green as standard, with black, blue and natural produced routinely. Any of the four can be specified against a single order line.
Colour is added to the melt during extrusion, so it runs through the full section of the strap rather than sitting on the surface — it cannot scuff off against a carton or a forklift tine. Standard colours carry the normal minimum order; a bespoke shade needs a dedicated run and is matched against a sample first. Break strain, elongation and weld quality are held level across every colour.
Built To Your Specification
The general purpose grade is the most widely specified strap we make, so it is also the one with the most build options. Combine them freely.
