A PET strapping roll is the preferred solution for modern industrial packaging where high tensile strength, cost efficiency, and sustainability are critical. Used extensively in logistics, construction materials, palletized goods, and synthetic fiber packaging, high-tensile polyester strapping delivers steel-like performance with lower total cost of ownership and improved safety.
This guide is designed for procurement managers, packaging engineers, and operations teams evaluating PET strapping rolls for semi-automatic and fully automatic strapping systems
Technical Specifications: Width, Thickness & Tensile Strength
Selecting the correct PET strapping roll depends on load weight, machine compatibility, and joint strength efficiency. PET straps are measured by width, thickness, and break strength (daN/kg)—not just appearance.
PET Strapping Roll Specification Table
| Roll Width | Thickness | Break Strength | Meters per Roll |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12.0 mm | 0.60 mm | 252~324 kg | 2,100 m |
| 15.5 mm | 0.80 mm | 434~558 kg | 1,150 m |
| 19.0 mm | 1.00 mm | 665~855 kg | 1,000 m |
All specifications are optimized for friction weld compatibility, ensuring stable seals and consistent joint strength on automatic strapping machines.
Why PET Is Replacing Steel Strapping in 2026
Compared to steel, green embossed PET strap offers equivalent load retention with major operational advantages:
- Up to 60% lighter than steel strapping
- No sharp edges → improved workplace safety
- Excellent elongation recovery for dynamic loads
- Corrosion-free for export and long-term storage
- Lower equipment wear and maintenance costs
For most palletized and bundled applications, PET delivers a better cost-performance ratio than steel without compromising break strength.
ROI Calculator: Cost-Per-Foot Analysis
Although PET strapping rolls may appear more expensive per roll, they provide more meters per coil, fewer breakages, and lower labor costs. When calculated by cost per foot strapped, PET routinely outperforms steel and PP alternatives in industrial environments.
rPET (Recycled PET) Strapping Rolls & Sustainability
For companies with ESG goals, rPET strapping rolls made from recycled PET flakes offer the same mechanical performance while significantly reducing carbon footprint. rPET straps are increasingly specified by buyers seeking CE-certified, EU-compliant, and USMCA-compliant packaging materials
