Steel Strap Ribbon Wound

Steel Strapping for the Heaviest, Most Rigid Loads

Steel strapping is the strongest strap in the range, for loads that will not tolerate any give. Where plastic and woven strap stretch and recover, steel holds a rigid load at maximum tension with no stretch, which suits steel coil and metal products, bricks and pavers, heavy machinery and dense timber. This is ribbon wound strap, meaning it is wound flat like a ribbon so it pays off straight and is easy to handle, with smooth, well-rounded edges for safer handling. Premium Packaging supplies steel strapping in bulk to metal, building supply, manufacturing and heavy industry across Australia, delivered from our Sydney base.

What Ribbon Wound Means

Steel strap is supplied either ribbon wound or oscillated wound. Ribbon wound strap is coiled flat, one layer beside the next, so it pays off the roll straight and flat and is easy to feed and apply by hand. That makes it the straightforward choice for hand strapping stations. The smooth, rounded edges reduce the risk of cuts when handling the strap, though steel strap is always under high tension in use, so operators should use appropriate protection when cutting a tensioned strap.

Where Steel Strapping Fits

Steel sits at the top of the strength range. For heavy loads that can flex or settle, polywoven strapping is often the safer, easier choice, since it is lighter, has no sharp edges and recovers tension as a load moves. Steel is the strap for rigid loads that will not settle and demand maximum holding strength with no stretch. Choosing between them comes down to the load: steel for rigid, unyielding loads, woven for heavy loads that need a forgiving strap.

How Steel Strapping Is Secured

Steel strap is tensioned with a steel strap tensioner and joined with steel strap seals, which are crimped onto the strap to lock the joint. A steel strap dispenser holds the roll and feeds it cleanly at the bench. Match the seal and tool size to the strap width so the joint seats correctly and holds.

Where Steel Strapping Is Used

• Metal and steel products, coil, sheet, bar and fabricated items
• Bricks, pavers and masonry, heavy rigid loads on pallets
• Heavy machinery and engineering, securing rigid loads for transport
• Dense timber and building materials, where maximum holding strength is needed
