To ensure your pallet of goods is protected from any type of damage, you should use both shrink wrap and pallet straps. You should first use pallet strapping to stabilise the packages onto the pallet securely. Once the goods are attached to the pallet, you can then shrink wrap the whole pallet to protect it from any water damage during transit.
Pallet strapping can ensure your packages stay in one place. Anything could happen during transit, including unexpected movements. With pallet strapping, you can make sure your goods are secured onto the pallet, reducing any sudden movements that may damage your items. Additionally, strapping your pallets can also make for easier handling, as you will only have to manoeuvre one large item rather than many smaller ones.
Metal strapping is often the preferred choice for heavy-duty applications where maximum stability is required, such as securing building materials. For medium to light-duty loads, polypropylene strapping is a popular option thanks to its lightweight and cost-effective nature. Polyester strapping offers a strong, durable alternative to steel, making it ideal for heavy or high-tension loads that still require some flexibility without the risk of rust. For steel strapping alternatives, explore our full range of polyester and polypropylene strapping coils.
Consider the weight, stability, and handling of your load.
Steel - Maximum strength, ideal for very heavy or rigid loads.
Polyester - Strong, flexible, non-corrosive, good for heavy but slightly shifting loads.
Polypropylene - Lightweight, cost-effective, ideal for lighter applications.
