PP Strapping 12 x 0.55 mm

Polypropylene (PP) Strapping – for everyday pallet and parcel strapping

When you strap dozens (or hundreds) of packages a day, you don’t want to fight with the material. You want a strap that feeds smoothly, tightens evenly and keeps a light to medium load together from the packing bench to the loading bay. This polypropylene strapping, 12 mm wide and 0.55 mm thick, is designed for exactly that kind of daily work in warehouses, fulfilment centres and production environments.

PP strapping is the go-to choice when the load does not require the extreme strength of PET strapping or steel strapping. It is easy to handle, economical in high-volume use, and flexible enough to follow the shape of cartons and bundled products without biting into the edges.

Where PP strapping fits best

This 12 mm PP strap is intended for light and medium-duty strapping. Typical examples include cartons, boxed goods, printed materials, bundled profiles and general parcels. It is also widely used for stabilising lighter pallet loads where the goal is to keep products together and reduce shifting during handling.

If you are securing very heavy items, sharp-edged products, or loads that will be exposed to severe impacts in transit, you typically step up to PET or steel strapping.

Key benefits

• Lightweight: easy to handle at packing stations and on mobile dispensers.
• Flexible: follows the shape of the goods and helps reduce point pressure on corners.
• Cost-effective: a practical choice for high-volume, repeatable strapping tasks.
• Moisture and chemical resistance: suitable for everyday logistics environments.
• Recyclable polypropylene: supports cleaner waste handling where recycling is available.

Sealing and joining options

This PP strapping can be closed in different ways depending on your workflow and equipment.

• Metal seals: a common option for manual strapping, using a tensioner and sealer tool.
• Heat sealing: the strap ends are fused together by heat in suitable strapping tools or machines.
• Welding: often refers to a friction-weld type seal, where the ends are joined by controlled heat generated through movement.

Recyclability and waste handling

Polypropylene is a recyclable material, which supports more responsible waste handling in packaging operations. Many companies choose PP strapping because it offers a practical balance between performance, cost and simpler disposal compared to more complex materials.
