Strapping is one of the most commonly used means of unitization and bundling in the packaging industry. Strapping is especially used in environments such as bundling together for handling and shipping: newspapers, pipe, lumber, concrete block, etc.
BS EN 13394 focuses on specifications for non-metallic tensional strapping. BS EN 13394 specifies dimensions and physical properties for non-metallic strapping used to secure, close, unitize or strengthen packages applied by hand tools or automatic machines.
BS EN 13394 on non-metallic tensional strapping for packaging is useful for:
The right packaging can make all the difference to a product. Strapping is known for its reliability and product protection. Depending on the Load or Product is secured when it comes to securing heavy loads. Strapping serves our purpose best because, in the end, we don’t want any accidents, injuries and damages to the operators and to the products we transport.
BS EN 13394 gives guidance on the selection and classification of materials for non-metallic tensional strapping. Non-metallic strapping covers weftless tapes and extruded thermoplastics tapes. BS EN 13394 provides you with dimensions, physical properties, and mechanical properties of polyamide, polypropylene, and polyester strapping.
BS EN 13394 reinforce and strengthens packages, protecting them against the hazards of transportation, thus assisting and ensuring a safe arrival at destination. BS EN 13394 allows economies to be affected in load constructions and on other packaging materials. Following BS EN 13394 guidelines help you to bundle products together and secure pallet loads during transport and storage.
