Strapping Solutions for Every Business: Choosing the Right Tools and Machines for Your Packaging Line

When it comes to securing goods for storage or shipment, strapping is a critical step in ensuring stability, safety, and presentation. But with so many options available, how do you choose the right strapping solution for your operation?

At Contract Packaging Systems (CPS), we supply a wide range of strapping machines and tools suited to every scale of operation – from compact packaging stations to high-speed distribution centres. Whether you need a mobile handheld tool or a fully automatic inline system, we offer SIAT and YGEN8 models engineered for durability, performance, and ease of use.

What Is Strapping and Why Is It Important?

Strapping is the process of applying a plastic or steel band (strap) around a product or pallet to bundle, reinforce, or secure it during handling and transit. It helps:

  • Prevent product damage
  • Improve load stability
  • Enhance warehouse efficiency
  • Reduce manual handling

Strapping can be applied horizontally or vertically, manually or automatically, depending on the type of product and speed requirements.

Types of Strapping Solutions

At CPS, we offer three main categories of strapping solutions:

Semi-Automatic Strapping Machines

These machines are ideal for small to medium operations that require operator assistance but want to eliminate manual tensioning and sealing.

    A reliable and cost-effective solution for carton strapping, accommodating strap widths from 6–15mm. Simple to operate and perfect for businesses looking to improve packaging speed without going fully automated.

Automatic Strapping Machines

Perfect for high-throughput environments, automatic machines streamline the process – automatically tensioning, sealing, and cutting the strap with minimal operator input.
