Black Plastic Strapping 12mm x 1500m x 0.68mm

Our 12mm Black Plastic Strapping is a versatile and economical solution for securing cartons, bundled products and lightweight pallet loads. Manufactured from durable polypropylene (PP), it offers excellent flexibility, consistent tensioning and reliable performance for everyday packaging and transit applications.

Key Specifications

• Width: 12mm
• Length: 1500m
• Thickness: 0.68mm
• Colour: Black
• Break strain: 180kg
• Environmental: 30% recycled content

A Thicker, Stronger Option

At 0.68mm, this strapping is noticeably thicker than our standard 0.55mm black strapping, giving it a higher 180kg break strain rather than 130kg. If your loads are heavier or you want extra margin on tension without stepping up to woven or composite strapping, this is the stronger option in our polypropylene range — at the cost of a shorter 1500m roll rather than 2000m.

Extended Reel Length

With a 1500 metre reel length, this strapping helps reduce downtime caused by reel changes, making it ideal for busy warehouses, packing stations and distribution operations where efficiency is essential.

What It’s Used For

• Securing cartons and bundled products
• Lightweight pallet loads needing extra break strain margin
• Busy warehouse and distribution operations
• Everyday packaging and transit applications

0.68mm vs 0.55mm — Which Should You Choose?

Choose this 0.68mm strapping where you need extra break strain margin (180kg vs 130kg) for slightly heavier cartons or bundles. For lighter, high-volume operations where reel length matters more than extra strength, our 12mm x 2000m x 0.55mm version → offers a longer roll at a standard thickness.

Black Plastic Strapping FAQs

What’s the break strain on this strapping?

This 12mm, 0.68mm thick strapping has a 180kg break strain — higher than our standard 0.55mm black strapping at 130kg.

Why is the roll shorter than your other black strapping?

The thicker 0.68mm gauge uses more material per metre, so the roll is 1500m rather than 2000m, trading some reel length for extra strength.

Does this strapping contain recycled content?

Yes — it’s manufactured with 30% recycled content.

What tools do I need to apply this strapping?

It’s compatible with standard polypropylene strapping tensioners, sealers and buckles — see the kits above for a complete starter set.
