A Track Record of Success

Since 1913, Signode engineers have pioneered the way for many new packaging materials, processes and designs, often establishing the benchmark for packaging standards worldwide. In the 1990s, we introduced polyester strapping as a viable alternative for steel strapping and wire in a variety of industries, including forest products, brick, metals, cotton and synthetic fibers. We also gained approval from the Association of American Railroads (AAR) for the use of high-strength polyester strapping on lumber and panel products in open-top rail car shipments; and on brick cubes in closed rail car shipments. Our Apex Plus steel strapping also earned AAR certification for open-top railcar shipments in a wide range of regular-duty applications. Utilizing Signode USLM-grade Magnus steel strapping, we've set the industry standard for unit strap lifting method (USLM) guidelines for loads of various weights, sizes and configurations. These and other Signode developments are helping companies worldwide to streamline their operations and save millions of dollars in labor and materials every year.
