GREENSTRAP® PET tapes
PET grooved strapping bands are particularly useful for shipping difficult heavy cargo (such as paving blocks or roof tiles) and goods that may change their volume (such as plastic or paper). They are an excellent alternative to their steel equivalents, because, unlike steel tape, PET bands do not damage or stain the cargo.
This type of strapping band enables fast, cost-effective (savings of up to 70%) and, last but not least, effective securing of loads.
GREENSTRAP® PET grooved packaging band is available in a wide range of sizes – from 9 x 0.5 mm up to 30 x 1.0 mm, in rolls of various lengths.
GREENSTRAP® PET packaging band is manufactured on standard, jumbo, and super jumbo spools.
Applications of GREENSTRAP® PET
GREENSTRAP® PET strapping band for packaging is particularly recommended for the construction industry. It effectively secures bricks, blocks and other large-dimension goods stacked on pallets which are prone to displacement or expansion.
GREENSTRAP® PET packaging bands are also highly regarded by processing plants and recyclers as the bands enable neat delivery and storage of plastic bottles, paper or even scrap metal.
PET strapping bands are also useful in shipping difficult goods, such as large-diameter metal tubes or steel rods.
Because GREENSTRAP® PET bands are available in a wide range of sizes, they can be easily matched to any type of goods to secure them for shipping in a fast, reliable and inexpensive way.
Benefits of GREENSTRAP® PET
The primary characteristic which distinguishes PET GREENSTRAP® strapping bands for packaging from steel tapes is their flexibility, enabling a perfect fit to the shape and volume of cargo. When it becomes displaced, deformed or expanded, the grooved band adapts to it while maintaining the optimum tension, thus securing the goods against damage or movement on the pallet.
Another advantage is that these bands keep your cargo intact. GREENSTRAP® PET strapping band for packaging does not damage the edges and does not stain.
The third important feature is that GREENSTRAP® PET packaging bands have high resistance to external forces. There do not break even upon significant movement of the load on a pallet or strong impact.
Benefits of grooved bands
GREENSTRAP® PET strapping band for packaging has many benefits. For example:
- it helps reduce the costs associated with the packaging of goods by up to ¾:
- it is cheaper than its steel equivalent,
- it can be welded, so you do not need to purchase special clips,
- it is safe to use by employees who load and unload the goods:
- the lack of clips and no need for special tools eliminates the risk of injuries and trauma,
- it can be reused and recycled many times. This is a definite advantage for those who care for the environment,
- it is highly resistant to such factors as humidity and UV radiation, and thus, regardless of the circumstances, you can be sure that the load reaches its destination intact.
GREENSTRAP® PET / Plain
The GREENSTRAP® smooth and hard PET tape is recommended for binding heavy products, also ones with sharp edges, that are hard to package without the risk of damage to other binding products. The product is used by food industry companies, in the packaging industry, in the building industry, and in many other industries. Polyester tapes are recyclable, which makes them environmentally-friendly.
Smooth PET strips are characterised by better resistance to ripping or cutting compared to corrugated tapes of the same size. They are made of the highest quality polyester, which is exceptionally resistant to the weather conditions (moisture, UV radiation, etc.). As a result, it does not deteriorate even when exposed for a long time to the harshest conditions. Consequently, smooth PET tapes can replace even steel tapes.
PET tapes smooth are an excellent product for closing larger packaging, also when their role is to hold the lid. Products may be secured on pallets either manually or with machines.
Binding of the load is performed quite easily. There are two ways to connect PET strips: by welding or by using special clips. Both ensure an equal resistance to ripping or cutting.
GREENSTRAP® PET offers a broad range of sizes of the PET tape intended for different applications. Tape is offered on manually and machine handled rolls of different lengths.

About GREENSTRAP®
Hard polyester strapping bands, including our new GREENSTRAP® brand, offer an excellent alternative to steel bands. They perfectly strap loads of changeable capacity. They provide an ideal solution for packaging products which are to be stored outdoors, stay resistant to high temperatures and UV rays. Contrary to steel bands, the polyester (PET) straps do not damage edges of packaged goods, do not corrode or leave rusty stains and are very economical to use. Furthermore, 1 kg of polyester strapping band has four times better usability than 1 kg of steel band. This allows saving at least 30% for every meter of the band. Furthermore, it is highly resistant to external breaking forces (displacements, shocks during transportation).
The PET straps can be bound in three ways: by welding, with the use of a metal clip or – less frequently – a wire clip. Thanks to their unquestionable advantages, these straps have become used in paper, cotton, construction and wood industry, metal processing and many other industries.
More information about our brand:
- The production of polyester strapping bands started in 2007 in Oława, Poland.
- The annual production capacity of about 10000 tons and a market leader position in Poland.
- The Greenstrap® trade mark has been legally protected since 2009.
Why GREENSTRAP®
Let us give you 6 reasons why you should choose our product. I. Economic calculation – while keeping great parameters of steel band, the polyester strap allows reducing costs even by 70%. The PET strap price is much lower than the steel band price. You can also save on storage and transportation thanks to much lower weight. If you bind the strap by welding, you can avoid costs of purchasing clips while the welding itself gives a connection which is much stronger and reliable. II. Flexibility – Greenstrap® products have shown excellent shock absorbing properties; especially while undergoing the impact of external forces. They show good resistance to strokes and shocks, and maintain optimum tension for expandable or shrinkable loads. III. Safety – there is a small risk of hand injury for the personnel who clips and cuts load strapping bands. Load damages caused by the straps are also quite rare. Cutting the load strapping bands does not require any special tools. IV. Resistance to outdoor conditions – the polyester straps remain tense both while the load becomes displaced during transportation and when the load is strapped and stored outdoors in the free air environment, exposed to high insolation, in temperatures below 0 Co. The polyester straps keep their parameters in the range from -10 Co up to +60 Co. They resist UV rays and chemical factors. Contrary to steel bands, there is no rust problem - Greenstrap® products perform very well in the increased humidity conditions. V. No deformations – the polyester straps do not become deformed after straining as the stress obtained during clipping does not affect the strap deformation. One can risk saying that Greenstrap® “remembers” its technical properties and the function it must perform. VI. Greenstrap® is ECO – the strapping bands produced by us are absolutely environment-friendly. You can easily gather a worn polyester strap by rolling or bending. You can also easily cut it into small pieces and deliver for recycling.

The GREENSTRAP® tapes enable binding products of standard and non-standard shapes and sizes. PET tapes are used in many industries. They can be used to tie loads of large sizes and weights. GREENSTRAP® has gained the trust of European businesses that manufacture building products and hydraulic parts, waste management companies, businesses in the wood industry, the furniture industry, the paper industry, and breweries.
The products intended for securing loads on pallets include, among others, smooth and corrugated PET tapes. For tying loads that are heavy and have sharp edges so that they are secure during transport and storage, smooth PET tapes work best. They have excellent strength properties. Corrugated tapes are considered to be even more resistant to ripping or cutting. They are recommended for binding loads whose volume may change over time, such as fresh wood.
