High Tensile Strength Tapes for Heavy-Duty Packaging and Bundling
Fiber-Reinforced Strapping Tapes (Filament Tapes) are extremely high-tensile materials used to secure heavy items, reinforce large shipping boxes, and bundle materials for transport. The key to their strength is the backing, which consists of a durable film (usually polypropylene or polyester) embedded with continuous, high-strength reinforcing filaments (usually fiberglass or polyester threads). This structure provides exceptional tensile strength (measured in lbs/in or N/cm), while the aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesive ensures a secure, long-term bond, resisting movement, impact, and shear forces during handling and shipping. They are essential for protecting goods that are prone to bursting, shifting, or falling apart in transit.
- Extreme Tensile Strength: Fiberglass reinforcement provides load-bearing capacity up to 300 lbs/in of width.
- High Shear/Impact Resistance: Resists sudden shock loading and shifting.
- Economical Alternative: Replaces costly plastic or metal strapping in many applications.
Why Choose Us
Performance for Logistics and Shipping Safety
- Controlled Adhesion Profile: The aggressive adhesive system provides high initial tack but is often formulated with a moderate adhesion to prevent excessive damage to the carton surface upon removal, balancing security with ease of unpacking.
- High Fatigue Resistance: The integrated filaments ensure the tape maintains its load-bearing capacity even when subjected to continuous vibrations and repeated impacts experienced during long-distance road or rail transport.
- Dispenser Compatibility: Tapes are manufactured with a precise, low unwind tension, ensuring smooth and reliable operation in handheld dispensers, manual, and semi-automatic carton sealing machines.
- Moisture Resistance: The polypropylene or polyester film backing provides a reliable barrier against humidity and moisture, ensuring the integrity of the strapping is maintained even in high-moisture shipping environments.
Core Features
Heavy-Duty Bundling, Unitizing, and Packaging
- Pallet Unitizing: Securing boxes or loose components to a pallet for stable, single-unit shipment.
- Heavy-Duty Box Sealing: Reinforcing the seams of heavily loaded corrugated cartons to prevent bursting or opening under stress.
- Material Bundling: Holding together long materials like metal pipes, lumber, or plastic extrusion profiles for organized transport.
- Appliance Securing: Temporarily holding appliance components (e.g., doors, shelves, cords) securely in place inside the carton during shipping to prevent damage.

SXT understands that secure packaging is vital for cost control and customer satisfaction in logistics. Our Fiber-Reinforced Strapping Tapes are manufactured with precision coating and lamination processes to ensure the fiberglass filaments are perfectly aligned and fully embedded for maximum tensile performance. We offer both Mono-Directional (single-layer filaments) and Bi-Directional (cross-weave filaments) tapes to meet varying stress requirements. Our factory's production capacity ensures a reliable, high-volume supply of these robust packaging materials to global logistics firms, distributors, and industrial packers at a significant cost advantage.
Usage Guide
Strapping Tape Types: Strength and Directionality
| Tape Type | Reinforcement Type | Tensile Strength (Directionality) | Typical Application |
| Mono-Directional (MD) | Parallel Fiberglass Filaments | Very High (Lengthwise only) | Bundling, straight-line sealing |
| Bi-Directional (BD) | Cross-Weave Fiberglass Filaments | High (Both directions) | Full box reinforcement, palletizing |
| Strapping Film Tape (Unreinforced) | No Filaments | Low to Moderate | Light duty packaging, general use |
| Steel/Plastic Strapping | Solid Material | Highest (Requires tools) | Extreme load applications |
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: How do I know if I need Mono-Directional (MD) or Bi-Directional (BD) tape?
- A: Use MD tape when the primary stress is along the length of the box (e.g., securing components end-to-end). Use BD tape when reinforcement is needed to prevent bursting across the width or for securing entire pallets where cross-directional stability is critical.
- Q: Can this tape replace heavy-duty plastic strapping?
- A: For many medium-to-heavy applications, yes, tape can replace plastic strapping, offering a faster, single-component solution without the need for tools. However, for extremely high-tension, non-palletized, multi-ton loads, traditional strapping may still be required.
- Q: Will the strong adhesive tear the carton's surface upon removal?
- A: High-tensile strapping tapes are designed for permanent sealing and strong holding. They will typically tear the outer layer of the carton (fiber tear) upon removal due to their aggressive hold. If residue-free removal is necessary, a dedicated, less aggressive tape should be used for temporary holding.
