What Our Customers Say

Any Questions? We’ve Got You Covered.

These are the most commonly asked questions. Here’s everything you need to know about how our products work in your industry.

What is PET strapping?

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.

Is PET strapping strong enough to replace steel strapping?

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.

Why is PET strapping considered safer than steel?

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:

No sharp edges
No dangerous spring back
Significantly lighter rolls
Reduced manual handling strain

How do I choose between PET strapping and polypropylene strapping?

Polypropylene strapping is suited for:

Light cartons
Internal pallet moves
Short term storage

PET strapping is suited for:

Heavy palletised goods
Export containers
Timber, cotton, bricks, hay and mining products
Long haul transport

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.

What break strength PET strap do I need?

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:

Pallet weight
Load height
Transport method
Whether the freight is containerised
Restraint method

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.

What strapping tools are required for PET strapping?

PET strapping can be applied using:

Manual tensioners and sealers
Combination tools
Buckle systems
Battery powered friction weld tools
Fully automatic strapping machines

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.

Is PET strapping recyclable in Australia?

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.

How much can I save switching from steel to PET strapping?

Calculate your savings via our interactive calculator here: https://xpak.com.au/calculate-your-savings-on-pet/

Many Australian manufacturers see material cost reductions along with improved safety and handling efficiency.

Can X-Pak supply PET strapping nationally?

Yes. We supply PET strapping across Australia through our warehousing network, supporting manufacturers, exporters and freight operators nationally.

Do you offer free samples or site visits?

Yes.

If you are considering changing from steel or reviewing your current PET strapping supplier, we can:

Provide a free sample
Review your current strap specification
Assess your strapping tools
Recommend a compliant, cost effective setup

There is often a simpler and safer way to approach pallet restraint. Happy to walk through it with you

What is load restraint?

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.

Why is load restraint necessary?

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.

What types of devices are used for load restraint?

Various devices are used for load restraint, including strapping, lashing, dunnage bags, anti-slip mats, and tensioners. The choice of device depends on the type of cargo, the mode of transportation, and the regulations governing the transport.

How do I determine the appropriate load restraint method for my cargo?

The appropriate method depends on factors such as the weight, size, and shape of the cargo. Regulatory requirements and the mode of transportation also play a role. Contact X-Pak for free advice on the most effective solution for you.

How do I know which product is best for my cargo?

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.
