What size are PET straps?

The size of PET straps can vary depending on the specific application and requirements, but the most common dimensions for PET strapping are:

1. Width:

9mm (3/8″) to 32mm (1-1/4″) are typical widths used for PET strapping.

12mm (1/2″) and 16mm (5/8″) are common sizes for general packaging and bundling.

19mm (3/4″) and 25mm (1″) are often used for heavier-duty applications, such as securing pallets and larger loads.

2. Thickness:

0.4mm to 1.0mm are common thicknesses for PET strapping.

The thickness of the strap is typically selected based on the weight and nature of the products being strapped. Thicker straps are generally used for heavier loads or more demanding applications.

3. Length:

The length of a PET strapping roll can vary based on the size of the packaging machine or the needs of the user.

Rolls typically come in lengths of 1,000 to 3,000 meters (about 3,300 to 10,000 feet), though custom lengths can be available depending on the manufacturer and application.

Common Size Examples:

For manual strapping: A typical size might be 12mm x 0.6mm.

For machine strapping: A common size could be 16mm x 0.8mm or 19mm x 1.0mm, depending on the load and strapping machine used.

Key Considerations:

The width and thickness of the PET strap should be selected based on the weight and size of the items being secured. Thicker, wider straps are more suited for heavy-duty applications like securing pallets or large industrial goods.

The tensile strength of the PET strap is directly related to its thickness and width. Heavier loads require stronger straps.
