In contrast to conventional printed PP strapping, our printing process has the big advantage that there are no differences in quality compared to unprinted strapping. This time-tested printing method is known as the “inline” process. Printing therefore takes place during production and does not require any coiling of the band.
Advantages of printed PP strapping:
- Allows product presentation even where space or possibilities for cardboard printing are lacking
- Saves costs and the need for additional printing of packaging materials
- Protects your goods against theft or falsification
- Simplifies the identification and differentiation of your goods during transportation, thus increasing reliability and reducing the frequency of errors

Qualitätsprüfung
The quality of PP strapping plays an important role in the safety of your employees and the maintenance of your machines. In the event of weaknesses in the material or production defects, key properties such as tear resistance, elongation at break or the dimensions of the bands may not correspond to the specifications, which in the worst case can lead to personal injury or machine failure.
Therefore, we continuously verify the quality of the PP strapping produced by us in our test laboratory and also offer this service to you.
If, for example, you have stored PP bands for several years, the storage conditions can have a considerable influence on the quality. In order to reassure you about the condition of your equipment, we can verify all relevant properties of the PP strapping with just 1 metre of band. An objective test report gives you certainty as to whether you can continue to use your equipment without any problems.
For a meaningful test, at least 1 metre of the corresponding strapping is required. Further useful information can be obtained from the machine type, running metre per roll and the core used to assess the suitability of the band for your intended use.

The following properties are decisive for the quality of PP strapping
A distinction is made between two production processes:
- Cut bands from a wide foil (11.1 mm Signode)
- Individually extruded bands; up to 16 pieces side by side
- There is a x mm band width (machine guidance x mm)
- Band tolerance (x.4 – x.8 mm)
The width of the band can be determined by an electrical calliper.
The thickness only plays a minor role in the measurement of the band, because:
- Tension rollers can be adjusted to the band thickness in the machine
- Adjusting for band thickness is usually possible on all machines
The thickness is measured by the points of an electrical calliper.
Tear resistance, or breaking load, is the force required to tear a PP strapping band:
- Normally you will be given tear resistance in Newtons or kilograms
- The conversion factor is: 1 kg = 9.81 N
The exact tear resistance can only be reliably measured in a test laboratory.
The following statements generally apply to the weight per metre:
- The weight of the respective PP strapping per metre
- The lighter the band, the lower the tear resistance
- The price is determined by the weight per metre and the tear resistance
The weight per metre is determined using a highly sensitive scale.
The elongation at break indicates the percentage by which the PP strapping can be extended in relation to its total length before it tears. General rule of thumb:
- PP strapping can be stretched from 18% to 22%
- Special flex strapping achieves an elongation at break of up to 50%
- The stress resistance varies according to the material composition and defines the amount of elongation that decreases when the stress is reduced or released
The exact elongation at break can only be reliably measured in a test laboratory.
Generally, PP strapping comes out of the extruder with a smooth surface:
- The final surface structure is embossed with an embossing roller
- Fine to coarse surface embossing is possible with embossed bands
- The embossing allows the PP strapping to be sealed
The embossing can be judged by optical checks on the strip.
The raw material of PP strapping is transparent. General rule of thumb:
- Different colours can be achieved with mixed colour additives
- Colour additives reduce the risk of the PP strapping splitting
- Splitting is understood to mean the breaking apart of the band in the longitudinal direction (fibres/cracks in the molecular chains), which can occur under mechanical stress (e.g. cutting bands under tension).
Chemie-Faser Ebnat AG offers a wide range of available colours.
Inner diameter and coiling width distinguish the cores from each other. The following generally applies:
- The core and the side plates are usually made of cardboard
- There are about 20 different types of cores on the market today
- The most important core sizes are: 62/160, 200/190, 280/190, 406/150
The so-called “sabre” is the curvature of the PP strapping. The sabre has a strong effect on the quality:
- An excessively large sabre can lead to malfunctions or machine failure in automatic strapping machines
- Bands that have been wound imprecisely or stored for too long retain some of the deformation during processing. This can impair cargo safety
Our printed PP strapping has a very low sabre thanks to the inline process, because the bands only have to be wound once.
The equipment you use is crucial in choosing the right band:
- Every company has a different purpose for PP strapping bands
- Is a manual device used with sealing sleeves?
- Does the customer need bands that can be used in semi-automatic or fully automatic machines?
- The requirements on the bands vary depending on the application, e.g. different bands are required in the stone industry than in the printing industry
In order to deliver the perfect band for every application, Chemie-Faser Ebnat AG offers approx. 800 different types of PP strapping bands.
