Steel strap is strong — no doubt.
But more and more companies are switching to PET strap.
Why?
1. Safer for workers
No sharp edges, fewer injuries.
2. Lighter to carry
A roll of steel is heavy. PET is much lighter.
3. Doesn’t rust
No brown stains on your product.
4. Cheaper equipment
Steel tools + seals can get expensive.
5. Plenty strong for most loads
Unless you’re strapping metal pipes or bricks, PET gets the job done.
Not every job needs steel.
For 80% of packages, PET is more practical and much easier to use.
PET runs in our RCV2 handheld and RCV3 tabletop machines with no seals or clips. For loads that still need steel, we stock steel strap and manual steel tools.
