Types of Strapping Seals

If you want to add a strapping seal to your package, there are several types you can choose from. These include side-action sealers, open seals, and snap-on seals. These seals are used when you want a secure closure but do not want to use too much force. They are also useful if you need to unitize a load.

Snap-on strapping seals are specially designed for steel strapping tools. They are available in two different sizes. One type is made of plastic and the other is made of metal. These two types have different properties and are designed for different applications. For example, the plastic version is used for packaging materials, whereas the metal version is designed for containment of heavy loads.

Snap-on strapping seals are available in open and closed versions. They can be used on steel strapping and are usually applied before or after the banding is tightened. They are galvanized and offer a secure seal.

Side-action strapping sealers are adjustable tools that create a tight seal around a strap. The jaws on these tools have two side-actions, making them easy to use for any strapping application. This type of tool is ideal for heavy-duty applications. It is also adjustable to three different thicknesses.

Open strapping seals are used to securely connect two ends of steel strapping. They are commonly known as "snap on seals" or "open flange seals" because of their open face. They are placed around the strapping before or after tensioning and are then crimped to form a permanent connection. Open strapping seals are often made of high-grade galvanized steel. These seals are used in industrial shipping room applications, and are suitable for a variety of applications.

Open seals are available in different sizes, and they can be used for polypropylene strapping. They are best used when the seals are placed over overlapping ends of the strap. Once in place, they can be closed with a standard strapping sealer.

There are several types of strapping seals. There are steel strapping seals, nylon strapping seals, and polypropylene strapping seals. The latter are available in an open/snap-on or closed/thread-on style. Unlike steel strapping seals, polypropylene strapping seals have serrated edges and are available in various types of packaging.
