Strapping & Stapling

PP strapping (polypropylene) is flexible, lightweight, and cost-effective—best suited for light to medium-duty applications like bundling cartons. In contrast, polyester strapping is stronger, has better memory (tension retention), and is more suitable for heavy or palletised goods. If you're choosing between the two, plastic strap made from polyester is ideal for heavier loads or long-term securing needs.

Strapping is the better option when packaging bulky, heavy, or high-value items—especially those requiring stability during shipping or palletisation. Unlike stapling, plastic strap or steel strapping provides firm tension around the product and is more effective for securing multiple units together. It’s also less likely to damage goods when applied correctly using plastic strapping tools.

Yes! At Venus Packaging, we stock a wide range of plastic strapping tools and plastic strapping dispensers, including manual tensioners, sealers, and combination tools. We also offer steel strapping tools and dispensers to support heavier-duty applications. Whether you’re after portability, speed, or efficiency, we have the right equipment to streamline your strapping process.

Yes, most industrial staples, such as carton staples, are made from recyclable metals. Once removed from packaging, they can be collected and sent for metal recycling. While they’re generally single use, their recyclability makes them an environmentally responsible fastening solution alongside plastic strap options.
