Signode Packaging
Systems is the leading worldwide provider of plastic strapping
systems for the securement of a wide range of products, including
inserts, magazines and newspapers. Two plastic strapping materials — Contrax® polypropylene
and Tenax® polyester — are the basic components of our
plastic strapping systems. We also offer an extensive line of application
equipment, ranging from simple hand tools to fully automated, operatorless
machines. Our sales, equipment service, customer service and engineering
departments can help you design the optimum protective packaging
system for your application.
High-Strength
Tenax is a highly engineered polyester strapping material that
combines the performance properties of both steel and plastic strapping
to form a stronger, more resilient strapping material. Since its
introduction in 1990, High-Strength Tenax has become a viable replacement
for steel strapping in many heavy-duty palletizing and unitizing
applications. Its elongation and recovery characteristics help
straps stay tight and absorb impacts without breaking. High-Strength
Tenax can reduce indentation at unprotected package corners. It's
also safer to handle than steel strapping and will not damage forklift
tires. High-Strength Tenax is completely recyclable, which reduces
packaging waste and saves money on disposal costs. View

Tenax® polyester
strapping
Tenax
polyester strapping is designed for medium to heavy-duty palletizing
and unitizing applications and can be applied by hand tools or
power strapping equipment. This strapping material yields higher
break strengths and maintains a higher level of retained strap
tension than polypropylene strapping for maximum load stability.
This makes it ideal for signature bundles and palletized loads
of printed materials that tend to shift during handling and transit. Tenax literature View

Contrax® polypropylene
strapping
Contrax
polypropylene strapping, designed to run through hand tools and
power strapping equipment, provides superior performance for light
to medium-duty bundling and carton closure applications. It has
excellent elongation recovery properties, making it ideal for magazine
and newspaper bundles that shrink as the air is compressed out
of them. View
