In modern logistics, packaging, and transportation, ensuring that goods are securely fastened during handling and shipment is crucial. PET strap roll, made from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), have emerged as a strong, reliable, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional packaging straps like steel and polypropylene (PP).
With superior strength, elongation properties, and recyclability, PET strap rolls are widely used across industries — from manufacturing and construction to logistics, agriculture, and warehousing.
What is a PET Strap Roll?
A PET strap roll is a coiled length of high-tensile strapping material made from PET resin, often produced using recycled PET flakes from used plastic bottles. These straps are used with manual tools or automatic strapping machines to bundle, secure, or reinforce products and pallets.
They are available in various widths, thicknesses, and colors (most commonly green and black), and are designed to handle heavy loads with consistent tension and high shock absorption.
Key Features and Benefits
✅ High Tensile Strength
PET straps offer strength comparable to steel straps but with added flexibility. They maintain tension over long periods and during transportation, making them ideal for heavy-duty packaging.
✅ Weather and UV Resistant
Unlike other strapping materials, PET straps resist rust, moisture, and UV radiation — making them suitable for outdoor storage and long-term transport.
✅ Shock Absorption
PET straps can absorb impact and movement without snapping or losing tension. This property makes them perfect for dynamic loads that expand or contract.
✅ Safe to Handle
Being lightweight and non-metallic, PET strap rolls are safe to use, reducing the risk of injury to workers and eliminating sharp edges associated with steel straps.
✅ 100% Recyclable
Manufactured from recycled PET and fully recyclable after use, PET strap rolls support circular economy practices and reduce plastic waste.
Common Applications
PET strap rolls are widely used in:
-
Palletizing and unitizing products for warehousing
-
Securing bricks, tiles, and construction materials
-
Bundling of paper, cardboard, and printing materials
-
Strapping of metal coils, pipes, and bars
-
Packaging in the food and beverage industry
-
Agricultural packaging (e.g., hay bales, cartons)
Manufacturing in India: A Growing Industry
India is rapidly becoming a major producer of PET strap rolls, driven by:
-
Growing export-oriented industries (e.g., textiles, automotive, steel)
-
Expansion in logistics and warehousing
-
Government policies promoting sustainable packaging
-
Availability of recycled PET material from the domestic recycling sector
PET strap roll manufacturers in India are increasingly adopting fully automated production lines, quality testing equipment, and custom strapping solutions to meet both domestic and global demand.
Customization Options Available
Most manufacturers offer customization such as:
-
Width: 9 mm to 32 mm
-
Thickness: 0.5 mm to 1.2 mm
-
Colors: Green, Black, Blue (custom colors on request)
-
Embossed or Plain surface
-
UV-resistant coatings
-
Printed logo or branding
Conclusion
As industries seek safer, stronger, and more sustainable alternatives to traditional strapping, PET strap rolls are becoming the standard for modern packaging needs. With numerous benefits — from high strength and flexibility to recyclability — they are an essential component of today’s industrial packaging ecosystem.
