How To Choose A Hand Held Strapping Machine

How To Choose A Hand Held Strapping Machine

Strapping is a plastic or steel ribbon/tape that holds packages together through tension. A very rigid object can be made out of several boxes just a few strips of strapping tied around the pile in vertical and horizontal directions. Think of a classic christmas present with the ribbon that ties at the top into a pretty bow. Strapping doesn t have a pretty bow (the strapping solders semi-invisibly) but it is the same principle. There are several ways to work with strapping from the semi-manual strap-cutters all the way up to the pneumatic-industrial Strapping Machine that wrap, pull, solder and then snip the strapping to a tension and to a timescale that no person could compete with.

So you can get your head around what tools are available and more importantly which one is right for you I have put together a list of the different types of strapping tools that are available. I will come clean right now and tell you that as someone who has had some experience with high-volume small-product packaging I am inclined to favour the hand held Strapping Machine, in a busy and dynamic factory environment they soon become your right hand.
