FAQs

Q1. How tight should strapping tape be?

Ans.  Strapping tape should be tight enough to hold the items securely without causing damage. Over-tightening can crush or deform the items, while under-tightening may result in insufficient support. Aim for a snug fit that keeps everything in place.

Q2. What is reinforced strapping tape good for?

Ans.  Reinforced strapping tape is ideal for applications that require high tensile strength and secure packaging. It is perfect for bundling heavy items, reinforcing boxes, and providing extra protection during shipping and handling.

Q3. Does heavy duty strapping tape leave residue?

Ans.  High-quality heavy-duty strapping tape is designed to minimize residue. However, some residue may remain on certain surfaces after removal. To avoid this, choose tapes with low-residue adhesives and test them on a small area first.

Q4. Is strapping tape for shipping waterproof?

Ans.  Many strapping tapes, including reinforced and heavy-duty options, are moisture-resistant but not entirely waterproof. They can withstand humid conditions and light moisture, but prolonged exposure to water may affect their performance. For waterproof applications, consider using additional protective measures.
