How to Use 3/8 Inch PP Strapping
1.Select the right strapping machine – 3/8 inch PP strapping rolls are designed for use with semi-automatic strapping machines or fully automatic strapping machines for best performance.
2.Load the strapping roll – Follow your machine’s loading instructions to ensure smooth feeding and tensioning.
3.Position your package – Place the carton or bundle on the machine table so the strap path is correct.
4.Tension & seal automatically – The machine will tension the strap and seal it using heat-welding technology.
5.Check for secure bundling – Make sure the strap is tight enough to hold the load without damaging the package.
Tip: For small to medium packaging operations, a semi-automatic strapping machine offers excellent value. For high-volume production, a fully automatic machine ensures maximum speed and efficiency.
Why Choose 3/8 Inch Over Wider Strapping?
While wider PP straps (like 1/2 inch PP strapping or 5/8 inch PP strapping) offer more strength, 3/8 inch PP strapping is perfect when:
- The load is not heavy enough to need wider straps.
- You want to save on material costs.
- You require more flexibility around smaller packages.
