Steel Strapping

Steel strapping is one of the strongest forms of hand strapping within our range and is recommended for securing very heavy loads with sharp edges. An ideal product for the building industry when securing bricks and concrete.

KB Packaging stocks both ribbon wound and oscillated mill wound coils of steel strapping which are painted black as an anti-rust inhibitor.

Steel Strapping & Steel Banding

Steel Strapping (also known as Steel Banding) is the strongest and most durable strapping solution for securing extremely heavy or sharp-edged loads. It provides high tensile strength, low elongation, and maximum load stability during storage and transportation.

Steel strapping is commonly used for:

  • Export packing and container shipments

  • Heavy-duty pallet strapping

  • Securing bricks, timber, and metal products

  • Bundling sharp or abrasive goods

Browse our range of steel strapping coils, seals, and tensioning tools — designed for high-performance industrial applications.


Types of Steel Strapping Coils

Steel strapping is available in two main coil formats:

Ribbon Wound Steel Strapping

  • Each layer is wound directly over the other

  • The coil width matches the strap width

  • Ideal for lower-volume applications and storage efficiency

Oscillated (Mill Wound) Steel Strapping

  • Multiple windings per layer across a 63.5mm core width

  • Longer coil length for higher-volume operations

  • Reduces coil changeover time and increases productivity

Both options require a compatible steel strapping dispenser.


How to Apply Steel Strapping

Steel strapping can be applied manually or with a pneumatic tool:

  1. Feed strap around the load

  2. Tension using a strapping tensioner

  3. Seal with strapping seals/clips using a crimping tool
    —or choose a seal-free strapping tool with integrated lock-punching technology

Our range includes:

  • Steel strapping kits

  • Manual and automated strapping tools

  • Seals, buckles, and dispensers


Safe Cutting & Removal

⚠️ Steel strapping is under tension and must be handled safely.

Always:

  • Wear gloves and eye protection

  • Use a steel strapping cutter suitable for high-tension steel

  • Cut away from your body

Some cutters feature padded jaws to prevent the strap from snapping back dangerously.
