Picture this: You’ve shipped a $50,000 industrial generator. Halfway across the ocean, the strapping snaps. Saltwater seeps in. The customer receives a corroded paperweight. Nightmare fuel, right? Choosing steel strapping isn’t just picking "metal tape" – it’s selecting the guardian of your cargo. Get it wrong, and you risk financial bleed, reputational damage, and safety hazards. Get it right? You sleep soundly knowing your load survives hurricanes, rough handling, and 6,000-mile journeys. Let’s make sure you nail this.
Think of it as the Hulk of the packaging world. It’s a high-tensile steel strappingcoiled up like a snake, ready to constrict your heaviest loads. Unlike its cousin PET strapping, steel laughs at sharp edges, extreme weights, and scorching heat.
Ever tried tying down an I-beam with duct tape? Yeah, don’t. Steel strapping delivers unbeatable:
Tensile Strength: Handles insane tension (up to 1,500 kg/mm²!).
Rigidity: Zero stretch means zero load shift.
Heat/Chemical Resistance: Survives foundries, chemical plants, and desert crossings.
Not all steel is created equal. This is where JUHONG Packaging Materials shines – they offer tailored solutions:
Low-Carbon (e.g., ATSM D3950 ): More flexible, easier to tension. Perfect for lighter loads (<1 ton) like bricks or palletized boxes.
High-Carbon (e.g., ASTM D3950 ): The Hercules of strapping. Handles brutal tension for machinery, pipes, or timber.
Common steel strips usually have bright steel strapping、blue steel strapping、painted & waxed steel strapping、and galvanized steel strapping.
Bright steel strapping is cold rolled,process without heat treated and metal surface.
Blue Tempered & Waxed steel strapping adopts a special non-leadheat treatment process,At the same time, the formation of bluing film on the surface of the steel strapping and then coated a layer of water wax to form the double protection.
Bare steel rusts faster than a bike left in the rain. Coatings are non-negotiable:
Galvanized (Zinc-Coated) steel strapping: cold rolled and a layer of zinc Hot dip plating on the surface,JUHONG’s MVP for humid or marine environments. solves the common problem of the steel strapping in a short term play the role in anti-corrosion.Ideal for export shipping containers.
Painted (Green/Black)& Waxed steel trapping: a high-quality coating with a uniform wax seal, delivering dual defense for exceptional corrosion resistance. Widely applied in demanding environments for bundling, securing, and transporting goods, it ensures safety and reliability.
The most common sizes available on the market are 1/2”steel banding, 5/8” steel metal strapping, 3/4” steel strapping, 1”metal banding, and 1-1/4”steel metal banding.
Width (12mm-32mm): Wider = more surface area = less cutting into soft loads (timber, pipes).
Thickness (0.4mm-1mm): Thicker = higher break strength.
If you are not sure about how to choose the size, you can contact the experts of JUHONG. They will provide you with technical support.
According to the tensile strength grade of the steel belt, we can be divided into the regular standard and the high tensile steel strapping.
The tension grade varies depending on the country, and the standards set accordingly also differ. If you need high-strength steel strips, you must ask him whether they can meet the ASTM standards. Or you should clearly inform the manufacturer of the specific tension level you require.
Tensile Strength: How much force until it snaps ( N/mm²).
Elongation: How much it stretches before breaking

Choose the appropriate steel belt based on the weight of the goods and the usage environment.
When Cheap Strapping Becomes EXPENSIVE: Snap, Rust, and Liability
A $0.02 saving per meter sounds smart… until:
Snapped Straps: Cause $10,000 in damaged goods.
Rust Stains: Reject entire shipments of textiles or paper.
Worker Injuries: Whipping steel straps cause lacerations.
Insurance Hikes: Frequent claims = premium spikes.
Demand samples from suppliers like JUHONG Packaging. Test:
Tension strength with your tools
Corrosion resistance (spray salt mist for 24h)
Edge friction on your actual load material
Using JUHONG steel seals with their strapping ensures seamless crimping. Mismatched tools cause weak joints – the #1 failure point!
Store coils vertically in dry, covered areas. Wet strapping = pre-rusted strapping.
