Options for all needs

Types

Automatic and semi‑automatic strapping machine

  • Ideal for consistent throughput in shipping, fulfillment, and light manufacturing
  • Table‑top semi‑auto machines for quick cycle starts and versatile package sizes
  • Fully automatic arch machines for inline operations and higher volumes
  • Common features: adjustable tension, quick‑change coils, simple controls

Manual and battery‑powered hand tools

  • Portable tensioners, sealers, and combination tools for on‑the‑go bundling
  • Cordless, battery‑powered tools speed cycles and improve seal consistency
  • Great for low- to mid-volumes, odd sizes, and field work where a bench unit won’t fit

Steel vs plastic strapping

  • Steel: highest break strength, best for sharp edges, hot loads, and heavy industrial use
  • Plastic (PP/PET): lighter, safer to handle, corrosion‑resistant; excellent for most shipping and warehouse needs
  • We’ll help compare total cost, safety, and performance for your loads

Applications: pallet strapping and unitizing

Service, consumables, and support

  • Consumables: plastic and steel strap, seals, buckles, and edge protectors; if you don’t see it, we can source hard‑to‑find items
  • Training and use‑case setup support to dial in tension, seal type, and cycle times
  • Inventory help via our Vendor‑Managed Inventory (VMI) programs to reduce stockouts without over‑ordering

FAQs: strapping machine buying & use

Common questions about strapping machine buying & use.

Start with load weight, cycle volume, strap material, and space. Low/mid volumes fit semi‑automatic or hand tools; higher volumes often justify automatic arch systems.

Yes. We can stock many varieties of strapping, seals, buckles and protective corner boards. Share sizes, core type, and quantities so we can quote the best possible price.

Common options include polypropylene (PP), polyester (PET), and steel. We’ll help you match material, width, and thickness to load weight and handling conditions.

We support service after the sale and can coordinate maintenance and parts for many brands. Please provide make, model, and any error codes to confirm coverage.

Loads can be secured manually or automatically depending on the application. Follow manufacturer guidance for tension settings by strap type and load. Use the correct seal/joint (heat‑weld, metal seal, or friction‑weld) and test for joint efficiency.

On‑site assessments or demos may be available in West Michigan. Please contact us with your location, line details, and timing to confirm availability.
