In the high-stakes world of B2B industrial logistics, your packaging is your promise. As goods move from a production floor in Asia to a construction site in Germany or a steel mill in Brazil, the integrity of that shipment rests on a few critical millimeters of strapping. At Juhong Packing, we don’t just manufacture strapping; we engineer peace of mind. As we prepare for the world-renowned Interpack 2026 in Düsseldorf, we are proud to showcase our latest technical breakthroughs, including our newly minted AAR certification for steel strapping and our strict adherence to EN (European) standards. We invite you to join us at Hall 8b, Booth H79-1 to witness the future of cargo integrity.

Why Juhong at Interpack 2026? Redefining Global Industrial Strapping Standards

Interpack is more than an exhibition; it is the global pulse of the packaging industry. For a world-class strategist like myself, representing a 20-year industry veteran like Juhong Packing, this event is about proving that "Made in China" can set the global gold standard for safety and reliability.

Strategic Presence in Düsseldorf: Connecting with the Heart of European Logistics

Germany is the epicenter of European engineering. By exhibiting at Interpack 2026, we are bringing our EN 13246-compliant solutions directly to local buyers who demand nothing less than perfection. Whether you are managing a fleet of automated strapping machines or securing heavy pallets for sea freight, Juhong provides the precision you need.

28 Years of Heritage: A Leader in Drafting GB/T 39040-2020 Standards

Leadership is not just about sales volume; it is about setting the rules. Juhong Packing is honored to have participated in the drafting of the Chinese National Standard GB/T 39040-2020 for steel seals and edge protectors.

From Source Factory to Global Authority: Our Commitment to Quality Control

Our journey from a specialized component factory in 1997 to a global supplier for Fortune 500 companies like ArcelorMittal and POSCO has been built on technical obsession. In our production lines, we don’t just monitor dimensions; we monitor molecular consistency, ensuring that every coil of strap performs exactly like the last.

Technical Milestone: Juhong Steel Strapping Now AAR & EN 13246 Certified

This is the announcement our global partners have been waiting for: Juhong’s high-tensile steel strapping has officially achieved AAR (Association of American Railroads) certification. This makes us one of the elite few manufacturers globally to hold certifications for both steel and PET strapping systems.

Why EN 13246 Compliance is Essential for EU Buyers

For our European visitors at Interpack, compliance with EN 13246 is a non-negotiable requirement. This European standard dictates the specific tolerances for dimensions, surface finish, and mechanical properties. At Juhong, we’ve optimized our "Blue & Waxed" and "Painted" steel strapping to exceed EN 13246 requirements, ensuring that our products integrate seamlessly with European-made strapping tools and fully automated lines.

AAR Certification: The "Gold Standard" for Heavy-Duty North American Rail & Global Freight

AAR certification is widely recognized as the most rigorous shock-resistance test in the world. For shipments moving by rail—especially in North and South America—AAR-certified steel strapping is often a mandatory safety requirement. By achieving this for our steel strapping, we ensure your heavy steel coils and aluminum ingots stay secure even under extreme G-forces during transit.

The Engineering of Strength: High Tensile Steel Strapping (650N - 1000N+)

At Juhong Packing, we believe that true Cargo Integrity is a balance of two forces: brute strength and flexible resilience. While many suppliers focus only on breaking load, our 28 years of manufacturing experience have taught us that a strap which is "too rigid" will snap under the dynamic shocks of rail or sea transit.

Our premium steel strapping is engineered to be the ultimate "industrial seatbelt." It doesn't just hold the load; it absorbs the impact.

Technical Parameters: Breaking Load, Elongation, and Friction Consistency

JUHONG Steel Strapping Series Standard    Tensile Classification Tensile Strength(MPa) Elongation
Terra / Ridge GB/T 25820-2025 Regular Tensile 650-750Mpa 2%-8%

Ultimax ASTM D3953 or EN 13246 High Tensile & High Elongation 1020Mpa  ≥10%

Notes:For GB/T 25820-2025, elongation is measured at a gauge length of L =30mm.

           For EN 13246elongation is measured at a gauge length of L=100mm.

           For ASTM D3953, elongation is measured at a gauge length of L=152mm (6 in).

First-Hand Experience: Solving the "Static Tension" vs. "Dynamic Load" Dilemma

In our 20 years of manufacturing at Juhong, we have identified a critical industry myth: the belief that static breaking strength is the only metric that matters.

The EU Steel Mill Crisis: Why "Strong" Straps Were Failing

Heavy-duty hot rolled steel coils securely bundled with high-tensile steel strapping, stacked in storage warehouse.

A few years ago, a major European steel mill approached us with a challenge. Their heavy-duty steel coils were snapping during rail transport—specifically during shunting—despite using straps that technically met all tensile strength requirements.

Technical Breakthrough: Redefining Ductility via EN & ASTM Standards

 However, by deep-diving into EN 13246 and ASTM D3953 standards, we realized that "Resilience" (Ductility) was the missing link. For heavy loads, a strap that is too brittle cannot handle the G-force spikes of sudden movement.

We successfully engineered a specialized High-Tensile steel strap with a 12%–15% Scientific Elongation. After passing rigorous SGS testing to confirm compliance with global standards, we implemented this solution for the client. The results were immediate: their transit loss dropped from 12% to zero. This R&D foundation is exactly what led to our recent, official AAR Certification for steel strapping.

Strategic Comparison: Choosing the Right "Industrial Seatbelt" for Your Cargo

In my 20 years of consulting for global logistics firms, the question I hear most often is: "Can I replace my steel strapping with PET?" The answer isn't just about cost—it’s about Cargo Integrity. While our steel strapping (with its massive 1000N+ breaking load) remains the king of non-compressible heavy loads like hot-rolled steel coils, our AAR-124 certified PET strapping has emerged as a high-performance, sustainable alternative for materials that settle or shrink.

Finding the Perfect Match for Your Supply Chain

  • When to Stick with Steel: f you are securing heavy metal ingots, oil pipes, or high-temperature steel plates (such as hot-rolled coils), you need the superior breaking load and scientific elongation profile of our AAR & EN certifiedsteel strapping. Unlike brittle alternatives, our steel strapping is engineered with the precise ductility (7%–15% elongation) required to absorb massive dynamic shocks during rail shunting or sea transit, ensuring your heavy-duty cargo remains perfectly secured even in the most extreme environments.

  • When to Switch to PET: If you are palletizing bricks, timber, or fiber bales, our AAR-124 certified PET strapping offers exceptional "elastic memory." It provides the necessary resilience for loads that settle or shrink during long-distance voyages, staying tight where other materials might lose tension, while offering a rust-free and cost-effective alternative for sustainable logistics.

At Interpack 2026, the conversation will inevitably turn to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance). For the European and North American markets, the presence of "forever chemicals" is a major concern.

Why PFAS-Free Matters

Technical FAQ: Certifications, Export Compliance, and Custom Solutions

Q1: Does your steel strapping require specific tools for the AAR-certified grades?

A: While our AAR-certified strap is compatible with most pneumatic and battery-powered tools (Signode, Fromm, etc.), we recommend using our high-strength seals (compliant with GB/T 39040-2020) to ensure the joint efficiency matches the strap’s performance.

Q2: How does Juhong handle the "lateral camber" requirements for automated lines in Brazil?

A: We use high-precision slitting machines and continuous monitoring sensors. This ensures that every coil of FE-3 steel band meets the NBR 6653:2025 requirement of less than 5mm deviation, preventing any downtime in your automated lines.

Q3: Is your PET strapping a direct replacement for steel?

A: In many cases, yes. Our AAR-124 certified PET strap is ideal for lumber and bricks because it is safer to handle and 100% rust-proof. However, steel is still mandatory for high-temperature loads (like hot-rolled coils), cargo with sharp metal edges that could cut through plastic, or ultra-heavy, non-compressible loads that require maximum rigid tension.
