If you are looking for strapping that can handle the packaging and securing of large and heavy loads, then you need steel strapping. As a representative of Signode, PACKIN provides high-quality steel strapping for demanding industrial applications.
This is cold-rolled, heat-treated steel strapping that delivers high durability and excellent performance under stress. It is the preferred type of strapping for applications involving high tension and heavy loads.
This type of strapping is relatively rigid and more difficult to work with, which means that specialized equipment and experienced operators are required.
Types, Sizes and Coatings for All Applications
Signode offers two main types of steel strapping: Apex and Magnus. Each is specially formulated to meet the requirements of a specific range of applications.
Each type of steel strapping is available in different sizes and coatings to meet specific packaging and load securing needs.
Signode Apex®
Signode Apex® is cold-rolled low-carbon steel strapping. It is designed to provide higher break strength in a thinner gauge compared to standard steel strapping.
For many light to medium-duty applications, Apex® can replace heavier-gauge steel strapping, helping reduce material and transport costs.
Apex® is available with two coatings: painted and waxed, and zinc-painted and waxed. Each coating is designed to meet the requirements of specific tensioning methods, sealing devices and packaging applications.
Signode Magnus®
Signode Magnus® is cold-rolled, heat-treated medium-carbon steel strapping. It provides high tensile strength and excellent impact resistance for the most demanding applications.
Its hard, smooth and low-friction surface allows the strapping to be pulled more tightly around load corners, helping achieve more even tension distribution.
Magnus® is available in three coatings. Each coating is designed to match specific requirements for tensioning, sealing and heavy-duty strapping applications.
Types of Steel Strapping Coatings
Signode manufactures different steel strapping coatings. Each coating is developed according to the requirements of specific tensioning methods, sealing devices and strapping applications.
Standard Steel Strapping Coatings
Standard coatings are designed to improve the performance of steel strapping in different working environments and packaging conditions.
Painted and Waxed
Painted and waxed steel strapping provides corrosion resistance. It is available in all Apex and Magnus sizes and can be used with sealing systems or crimping applications.
Its main advantage is improved tension transmission around the corners of the load.
Zinc-Painted and Waxed
Zinc-coated steel strapping is waxed and has a zinc-enriched coating that provides exceptional rust resistance.
Available in different Apex and Magnus sizes, it offers the same improved tension transmission characteristics. The zinc coating protects the areas where protection is needed most, including surface damage points and scratches.
