PET Box Strapping, Built For The Line
PET Box Strapping is sized specifically for carton and box work — lighter in width and thickness than our general General Purpose PET Strapping, so you're not paying for holding force a light case doesn't need.
It pays off smoothly through both hand strapping tools and automated box strappers, and is a cost-efficient choice for high-volume, light-duty bundling such as e-commerce dispatch and multi-pack cartons.
Key Features
Sized for carton work
Right-sized width and gauge for boxes and cases, not over-built.
Smooth machine pay-off
Consistent width and winding for automated box strapping equipment.
Cost-efficient
A lighter PET gauge keeps material cost down on high-volume light bundling.
Reliable hand-tool feed
Feeds cleanly through manual strapping tools on packing benches.

Applications
Available Colours
Box strapping is supplied natural as standard, and in green and black. Natural is the usual choice on retail-facing cartons, where the strap should read as packaging rather than as a marker.
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
A light section on a printed carton is as much a presentation decision as a specification one. These are the variables.
