Our steel strapping is available in standard ‘blued’ steel, black painted steel & stainless steel. Steel strapping provides high strength and minimal stretch and is often used for locking items into place such as machinery atop a pallet. Steel strapping is also commonly used for binding together manufactured items such as pallets of bricks and metal piping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which strapping type is best for heavy-duty loads?
Steel strapping is the strongest option for securing heavy, rigid loads. However, PET strapping, like our Flat and Embossed PET Strapping is a viable alternative for its strength, safety, and corrosion resistance, especially in industries moving away from steel.
Are Venus strapping products recyclable?
Yes. Both PP and PET strapping are recyclable plastic. While not biodegradable, they can be repurposed into other plastic products.
What dispenser options are available for each type?
PP (Polypropylene) strapping: Use hand dispensers with Venhart No. 2 Hand Rolls or opt for the Centre Draw Box for mess-free dispensing.
PET (Polyester) strapping: Compatible with heavy-duty hand dispensers, especially for embossed rolls.
How do I choose the right strapping width and thickness?
To choose the right strapping width and thickness, match it to your load weight and packaging method. Lighter cartons typically use 6–12mm PP strapping, medium pallets suit 12–16mm PP/PET, and heavy-duty loads like machinery require 16–19mm PET/Steel. Venus offers machine and hand rolls across all types to fit manual or automated setups.
