FAQs
What strapping is best for the corrugated packaging industry?
The best strapping for lumber and forestry packaging is high-strength polyester (PET) strapping. Polyester strapping provides excellent tension retention, flexibility, and shock absorption for heavy wood bundles.
For certain high-compression or rigid loads, polypropylene or steel strapping may also be used depending on bundle weight, storage conditions, and shipping distance.
What type of strapping machines are used in corrugated plants?
Corrugated plants typically use:
-Automatic arch strapping machines
-Table-top bundlers
-High-speed conveyorized strapping systems
-Portable pallet strappers
-Rotary arm stretch wrapping machines
-These systems help improve load stability, increase throughput, and reduce labor costs in high-volume box manufacturing environments.
Do corrugated facilities need both strapping and stretch wrapping machines?
Yes. Strapping machines secure carton bundles and unitized loads, while stretch wrapping machines stabilize pallets for transport and warehouse storage. Using both systems improves load containment and reduces product damage during shipping.
How can corrugated manufacturers improve packaging efficiency?
Corrugated manufacturers can improve efficiency by:
-Upgrading to automatic or conveyorized strapping systems
-Using high-quality PP or PET strapping
-Integrating compression and squaring systems
-Scheduling preventative maintenance on packaging equipment
-Working with an experienced industrial packaging partner helps optimize equipment performance and reduce downtime.
