PP Strapping, Built For The Line
PP Strapping is our polypropylene (PP) strapping line — a lighter, more economical option than PET for loads that don't need PET's higher break strain and tension retention.
It is flexible and easy to handle by hand, comes in a wide range of colours useful for line coding or basic branding, and remains a practical everyday choice for general light-duty bundling.
Image shown is representative of coil format. PP strapping is supplied in black, white, blue and green — confirm colour when ordering.

Applications
Available Colours
Polypropylene takes pigment readily, so the colour range here is wider than on PET and the shades are more saturated. Black, white, blue and green are produced routinely.
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
PP is the economical strapping grade, and colour and print are the two options most often specified on it — it is a common choice for own-brand and retail bundling.
