X-Pak Global supplies eco-friendly strapping that combines strength, safety, and sustainability for modern freight and warehouse operations. Designed as an alternative to steel strapping, our PET and poly strapping systems deliver proven load security while helping operators reduce plastic use and meet compliance requirements under the NHVR Load Restraint Guide and the CTU Code. With 40–60% cost savings compared to steel and tensile strengths up to 1,350 kg, PET strapping is now the proven choice for Australian exporters, warehouse operators, and freight companies.
PET strapping is the leading choice for sustainable pallet strapping and container load restraint. Manufactured from recycled materials, it provides high tensile strength and comes with no risks associated with steel. PET is safe to handle, fully recyclable, and strong enough to secure heavy industrial loads.
Key performance benefits:
Australian manufacturers and logistics operators are already making the switch. Companies across food, construction, and heavy industry rely on X-Pak’s PET strapping to improve workplace safety and reduce costs while maintaining compliance.
At X-Pak Global, sustainability doesn’t stop at supply. Our PET Recycling Program ensures that used strapping is given a second life rather than going to landfill.
Once collected and separated by colour, PET strapping is sent to certified recycling partners for processing. The material is cleaned, shredded, and melted down into high-quality pellets, which are then used to manufacture new PET products — including future strapping.
By closing the loop, X-Pak helps customers reduce waste, meet corporate sustainability targets, and support a circular economy within the Australian logistics sector.
Our team can advise on best practices for PET strapping recycling, making it easy for your site to participate and contribute to a measurable reduction in plastic waste.
In addition to PET, X-Pak offers:
Eco-friendly strapping is used throughout the supply chain for:
X-Pak’s eco-friendly strapping integrates with a full range of accessories and handling systems:
Switching to eco-friendly strapping is more than a sustainability choice, it is a proven way to improve safety, cut costs, and keep loads secure under real transport conditions. PET strapping has been adopted by some of Australia’s leading manufacturers because it delivers steel-level performance without the risks or expense.
X-Pak Global supports every system with over 30 years of industry expertise, nationwide same-day delivery, and our Zero Downtime Guarantee tool program. From heavy-duty coils to dispenser carts and sealing accessories, we provide the complete strapping solution backed by local service and technical support.

These are the most commonly asked questions. Here’s everything you need to know about how our products work in your industry.
PET strapping, also known as polyester strapping or pet strap, is a high tensile plastic strapping designed for securing heavy palletised loads during road, rail and sea transport.
At X-Pak, our PET strapping is engineered for Australian conditions. It is used extensively across cotton gins, timber mills, hay exporters, brick manufacturers, mining suppliers and container packers who require consistent tension retention and compliance with the CTU Code and NHVR Load Restraint Guide.
It is commonly green to clearly distinguish it from lighter duty polypropylene strapping used for cartons and light bundling.
In most Australian industrial applications, yes.
High quality PET strapping delivers break strengths comparable to steel strapping while offering one critical advantage: elastic memory. If your load settles during transit, PET strap contracts and maintains tension. Steel does not. Once steel goes slack, the load is unsecured.
We regularly assist sites transitioning from steel to PET with no disruption to production. If you are unsure, we can review your current strap specification and confirm what break strength is actually required.
Steel strapping carries risk when cut under tension. Lash back injuries and sharp edge lacerations are well documented in warehouse environments.
PET strapping is safer to handle:
Polypropylene strapping is suited for:
PET strapping is suited for:
If your load is travelling by road, rail or sea, PET strapping is generally the correct specification. Using polypropylene strap on heavy loads often leads to stretch loss and pallet instability.
If you want clarity, we can assess your pallet weight, stacking pattern and transport method and recommend the correct strap width and break strength.
PET strapping is available in multiple widths and break strengths, typically ranging from approximately 530 kg to over 1350 kg.
The correct selection depends on:
Over specifying increases cost. Under specifying increases risk. There is often a simpler way to approach this than just choosing the thickest strap available.
We can calculate the appropriate specification for your operation and ensure it aligns with compliance requirements.
PET strapping can be applied using:
For high volume palletising, battery powered strapping tools significantly improve productivity and reduce operator fatigue.
X-Pak also offers a loan tool program to ensure zero downtime if your tool requires servicing. For manufacturing sites running continuous production, this removes a common operational risk.
Yes.
Polyester strapping, commonly known as PET strapping or pet strap, is recyclable when clean and separated from general waste.
At X-Pak, we support this through our unique ReStrap program. ReStrap is a practical, closed loop recovery solution designed for Australian manufacturers, exporters and freight operators using PET strapping in volume.

Load restraint is the process of securing cargo within a transportation vessel, such as a truck, ship, or train, to prevent movement, shifting, or falling during transit.
Load restraint is crucial to ensure the safety of the cargo, the vehicle, and everyone involved in the transportation process. It prevents accidents, damage to the cargo, and maintains overall road and transportation safety in the logistics supply chain.
At X-Pak Global, we understand the importance of selecting the right cargo securing solution for your specific needs. To assist you in making an informed decision, we offer complimentary site visits and assessments. Our team of experts will visit your location, evaluate your cargo restraint, and provide personalised recommendations based on its weight, size, and unique characteristics.
During the site visit, we’ll assess the transportation conditions and consider factors such as the mode of transport and any regulatory requirements. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to tailor our recommendations to ensure the safety and security of your cargo and people throughout the transportation process.
