Strapping band is an important packaging material used in foreign trade transportation to secure and bundle goods or pallets. It is typically made of PP, PET, or nylon, featuring high tensile strength and wear resistance. Usage scenarios include: cargo reinforcement inside containers, pallet strapping, heavy machinery securing, etc., to prevent shifting or collapsing during transit. Precautions: Select appropriate width and tensile grade based on cargo weight; for exports to the EU, pay attention to environmental requirements (e.g., recyclable labeling); if used for air freight, must comply with aviation safety regulations. Difference from 'Adhesive Tape': strapping band focuses on high-strength bundling, while adhesive tape is used for lightweight box sealing; Difference from 'Stretch Film': strapping band provides point fixation, while stretch film provides overall wrapping. Foreign trade contracts should specify the material, specifications, and load-bearing standards of strapping bands to avoid cargo damage disputes caused by packaging non-compliance.
📝 Examples
1. Please cross-strap each pallet of goods with PET strapping bands to ensure passing a 1.5-meter drop test. (Note: Specify material and strapping method, and set testing standards.)
2. This batch of export equipment requires strapping bands with a width of 19mm and a tensile strength of 800kg, and edge protectors must be added to prevent cuts. (Note: Specify exact specifications and auxiliary materials to avoid transport wear.)
💡 Foreign Trade Tips
Foreign trade terms are the foundation of international business communication
Trade practices may vary slightly by country; pay attention when using them
When using terms in contracts, specify the applicable version (e.g., Incoterms 2020)
