Collection: Pallet Strapping

Secure your shipments with confidence using MCPack’s premium range of pallet strapping. Whether you are stabilising cartons for local distribution or securing heavy industrial loads for export, we stock high-performance strapping solutions to meet every logistical challenge. From economical Polypropylene (PP) and heavy-duty Polyester (PET) to traditional Steel strapping, our products are engineered for consistent break strength and reliability across Australian supply chains.

Types of Pallet Straps: PP, PET & Steel

Choosing the correct strapping material is critical to preventing load shifting and ensuring safe transport. At MCPack, we supply three main categories of industrial strapping tailored to different load requirements:

Polypropylene (PP) Strapping – Light to Medium Duty

PP strapping is the most common and cost-effective choice for bundling and carton sealing.

  • Best for: Unitising boxes, light pallet loads, and short-haul transport.

  • Key Features: High elongation and flexibility. Suitable for use with manual tensioners, battery tools, and semi-automatic strapping machines.

  • Options: Available in various widths (12mm–19mm) and colours, including clear, blue, and black.

Polyester (PET) Strapping – High-Strength Steel Alternative

PET strapping offers superior strength and tension retention, making it the modern alternative to steel for many applications.

  • Best for: Heavy pallet loads, bricks, timber, and goods that may settle or shrink during transport.

  • Key Features: Excellent UV resistance for outdoor storage and high "elastic memory" to absorb shock without snapping. Safer to handle than steel.

Steel Strapping – Heavy Industrial Applications

For the heaviest, most abrasive loads where plastic solutions fall short, steel strapping remains the industry standard.

  • Best for: Construction materials, heavy machinery, metal coils, and loads with sharp edges.

  • Key Features: Extremely high break strength and minimal elongation. Requires specialised steel strapping tools.

How to Choose the Right Strapping for Your Load

Selecting the wrong strap can lead to damaged goods or wasted costs. Consider these factors:

  1. Load Weight & Stability: For loads under 500kg, PP strap is often sufficient. For unstable or heavy loads (500kg+), opt for PET or Steel.

  2. Application Method: Are you strapping by hand or machine? Ensure you select "Machine Grade" rolls for automatic machines to prevent jamming, whereas "Manual Grade" is cost-effective for hand tools.

  3. Transport Conditions: If your pallets are stored outdoors in the harsh Australian sun, PET strapping provides better UV stability than standard PP.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between PP and PET strapping?

PP (Polypropylene) is a lighter, more elastic strap used for bundling cartons and light pallets. It loses tension over time. PET (Polyester) is much stronger, has lower elongation, and retains tension for longer periods, making it ideal for heavy loads that need to stay tight during transport.

Do MCPack straps work with standard tensioners and machines?

Yes. Our strapping rolls are manufactured to industry-standard core sizes and widths (e.g., 12mm, 15mm, 19mm). They are compatible with most standard manual tensioners, battery-powered friction weld tools, and semi-auto strapping machines available in Australia.

Can I get a discount for bulk pallet orders?

Absolutely. We offer tiered pricing for high-volume orders. If you are purchasing full pallets of strapping for a large warehouse or distribution centre, please contact our sales team for a custom quote.
