What is Composite Strapping?
Composite strapping is a high-strength, flexible packaging solution made by coating polyester fibres with a polymer coating. It is often referred to as synthetic steel because of its high break strength, corrosion resistance, and ability to absorb shock during transit. Composite strapping is ideal for securing large, heavy, or irregularly shaped loads without causing damage to the items being strapped.
