Cold-Rolled Oiled Steel Packaging Strapping: Specifications and Orders
Cold-rolled oiled steel packaging strapping in 16, 19 and 32 mm widths and 0.5–1.2 mm thicknesses, compatible with manual and pneumatic tools.
For consultation and order placement, please contact our specialists.
Oiled steel packaging strapping is one of the principal options for securing, unitizing and transporting heavy industrial loads. It is produced from cold-rolled steel, and its smooth, oiled surface facilitates handling during industrial packaging. Ghafari Industrial Group’s oiled strapping can be ordered in different widths and thicknesses and is used with manual and pneumatic strapping tools.
What is oiled steel packaging strapping?
Oiled strapping is a metal strap with a smooth, oiled surface, used to stabilize goods that require suitable tensile strength during storage or handling. Its steel structure helps keep a load stable against opening, component movement and normal transport forces. The oil layer is part of the product’s surface condition, but it must not be treated as a substitute for galvanized coating in wet or corrosive conditions.
If you are comparing all strapping types, first consult the metal strapping and packaging guide to choose more precisely among oiled, galvanized and high-tensile steel strapping according to the load and use environment.
Technical specifications of oiled steel strapping
The specifications below are the stated production range for this product. Final selection should take account of load weight, package dimensions, number of strap turns, tool type and storage conditions.
| Characteristic | Available range or option |
|---|---|
| Base material | Cold-rolled steel |
| Surface condition | Smooth and oiled |
| Common widths | 16, 19 and 32 mm |
| Thickness | 0.5 to 1.2 mm |
| Available grades | DIN–ST12, ASTM 1008-CS (A, B, C) and JIS 3141-SPCC |
| Compatible tools | Manual and pneumatic strapping tools |
Other widths or grades can also be produced after technical review and agreement. For an accurate quotation, state the dimensions, weight and type of load when submitting the request.
Applications of oiled steel packaging strapping
This strap is selected for products that require strong restraint, including metal products and profiles, construction materials, brick and tile, wood and MDF industries, glass and transportable industrial loads. In every application, the appropriate width and thickness must suit the package geometry and weight; selection by product name alone is not sufficient.
- Metal bundles and profiles: To keep sections and components unitized during transport.
- Brick, tile and building materials: To reduce movement of package components on the pallet.
- Wood and MDF: To restrain bulky bundles and keep them organized.
- Glass and industrial goods: With strap tension and edge protection selected precisely for the load.
Guide to selecting width and thickness
For smaller loads or packages with limited contact area, widths of 16 or 19 mm may be initial options for review. A width of 32 mm is considered for larger packages; however, the final decision depends on the load’s weight and form and the securing method. Thickness must also be evaluated together with width, number of strap turns and tool capacity. A thicker strap does not necessarily produce a better result unless it is compatible with the tool and seal.
Specify these four items before ordering:
- Approximate weight and dimensions of each package;
- Storage conditions, particularly the degree of exposure to moisture;
- Manual or pneumatic strapping-tool type;
- Required width and joining method.
Matching oiled strapping to seals and tools
Strap width, seal and tool must be compatible. For joining and securing the strap, review the specifications for steel strapping seals. The stated range includes 16 and 19 mm seals with a thickness of 0.4 to 0.5 mm and a 32 mm seal with a thickness of 0.7 to 0.8 mm. Before purchase, confirm the seal-closing method and its compatibility with the available tool.
Differences between oiled, galvanized and high-tensile strapping
| Strap type | Defining characteristic | When to consider it |
|---|---|---|
| Oiled | Smooth, oiled surface; cold-rolled steel | General packaging of heavy industrial loads |
| Galvanized | Zinc coating on the steel surface | When surface resistance to moisture has greater priority |
| High-tensile steel | Specialized selection based on required mechanical properties | For loads where the strap’s spring behavior matters in restraint design |
Price and ordering of oiled strapping
Final price depends on width, thickness, grade, order volume and production conditions, so quoting a fixed figure without technical specifications can be misleading. To understand the relevant factors, read the steel packaging strapping pricing guide. The steel packaging strapping manufacturing page also explains the process and product-specification controls.
To receive a technical proposal and order quotation, send Ghafari Industrial Group’s specialists the package weight and dimensions, required width and thickness, grade, quantity or tonnage and destination city.
Frequently asked questions
In which widths is oiled steel packaging strapping produced?
The stated common widths are 16, 19 and 32 mm. Other widths can be reviewed after technical coordination.
What is the thickness of oiled strapping?
The available production range is 0.5 to 1.2 mm. The appropriate thickness must be selected together with width, load weight and tool type.
Is oiled strapping suitable for a wet environment?
An oiled surface must not be considered equivalent to galvanized coating. If exposure to moisture or corrosive conditions is the main concern, galvanized strapping should also be included in the technical comparison.
Does this strap work with a pneumatic machine?
Yes. The product is specified for manual and pneumatic tools; however, strap width and thickness, seal type and tool capacity must be matched before ordering.
