What It’s Used For

• Businesses needing a narrower strap for smaller or lighter products

The Narrowest in Our Machine Strapping Range

At 9mm, this is narrower than our 12mm Tenso machine strapping, suiting lighter cartons and products where a narrower strap profile is preferable. The trade-off is a lower break strain — 75kg compared to 145kg on the 12mm versions — so it’s best suited to lighter loads rather than heavier pallets or bundles. The extended 4000m reel length helps offset more frequent application with fewer reel changes.

Bondmark Certified Quality

Tenso strapping is Bondmark quality certified, giving assurance of consistent strength and reliable performance when run through strapping machines — important where inconsistent strap quality can cause jamming or misfeeds on automated equipment.

Choosing Across Our Machine Strapping Range

• 9mm (this product) — 75kg break strain, lighter cartons and bundles
• 12mm white → — 145kg break strain, general-purpose machine strapping
• 12mm blue → — 145kg break strain, for colour-coded operations

Built for Strapping Machines, Not Hand Application

This reel is designed specifically to run through strapping machines, with a cardboard core sized to fit standard machine spindles. If you’re hand-strapping cartons rather than using a machine, our hand-applied plastic strapping → range is the better fit.

Tenso 9mm Machine Strapping FAQs

What’s the break strain on this strapping?

This 9mm Tenso machine strapping has a 75kg break strain, suited to lighter cartons and bundles rather than heavier pallet loads.

How does this compare to the 12mm version?

The 9mm strap is narrower and has a lower break strain (75kg vs 145kg), but comes on a longer 4000m reel. Choose 12mm for general-purpose or heavier strapping needs.

Can this be used by hand instead of in a machine?

It’s designed for strapping machines; for hand application, our standard black plastic strapping range is better suited.
