Black High-Tensile Spring Steel Strapping: Specifications and Bulk Orders
High-tensile spring steel strapping is used to package and secure loads that require suitable strength and tensile force. It is produced from cold-rolled steel sheet and, after its specifications have been matched, can be used with manual tools and pneumatic machines.
Spring steel strapping should not be selected by product name alone. The load’s weight and form, strap width and thickness, number of straps, machine type and transport conditions must be considered together. For a complete comparison, see the metal packaging strapping types page.
What is high-tensile spring steel strapping?
Spring steel strapping, also known as black steel strapping, is used to provide strong restraint in the packaging of industrial loads. Its steel construction is suitable for bulky, heavy loads and can be considered for metal products, profiles, building materials and other high-weight goods.
In the facility’s current technical information, this group is described as spring or waxed strapping to DIN 13246. The stated widths are 16, 19 and 32 mm; the appropriate thickness must be confirmed for the load and each order.
Principal characteristics of spring steel strapping
- Suitable strength and tensile force for load restraint
- Common use with manual tools and pneumatic machines after specification matching
- Suitable for review when packaging heavy, bulky loads
- Common widths of 16, 19 and 32 mm
- Custom specifications can be reviewed against the customer’s request
Which applications are suitable for spring steel strapping?
This type of strapping can be considered for packaging in metal and profile industries, transport, brick, clay products, mosaic tile, MDF, wood, glass and other heavy loads. For loads with sharp edges or movement in transit, the closing method, edge protection and number of straps are also important.
| Load condition | Selection consideration |
|---|---|
| High weight | Width, thickness and number of straps must suit the load’s weight and form. |
| Sharp edges | Protection of the strap and load edge should be reviewed to prevent damage. |
| Long-distance transport | Package stability, connection points and the possibility of load movement become more important. |
| Pneumatic strapping | Strap specifications must match the machine model and capacity. |
Differences between spring, galvanized and oiled strapping
| Strap type | Distinguishing characteristic | Principal basis for selection |
|---|---|---|
| Black spring steel | Suitable strength and tensile force for strong restraint | Load weight, width, thickness and machine |
| Galvanized | Better protection against corrosion and rust | Moisture, storage conditions and grade |
| Oiled | Smooth, oiled surface and common industrial use | Grade, dimensions and machine compatibility |
If protection from moisture is the main priority, review the galvanized steel packaging strapping page. To compare costs, the steel packaging strapping pricing guide is also available.
Information required to order spring steel strapping
- Required width and thickness
- Weight, dimensions and type of goods being packaged
- Type of strapping tool or machine
- Number of strapping points on each package
- Total order quantity or number of coils
- Storage conditions, transport route and destination city
Providing this information helps the sales team match production feasibility and available specifications to the order’s actual requirements.
Safe and correct use of steel strapping
Steel strapping is placed under tension, and opening or cutting it must be performed with the correct tool and in accordance with the user facility’s safety requirements. Selecting a compatible steel seal, checking the connection point and using the appropriate tool are parts of a reliable packaging system.
Frequently asked questions about high-tensile spring steel strapping
Which widths are available for spring steel strapping?
The facility’s current information states widths of 16, 19 and 32 mm for this product group.
Does spring steel strapping work with a pneumatic machine?
Common use with manual and pneumatic equipment is stated; however, the strap specifications must be matched to the machine model.
Is spring strapping or galvanized strapping better for a wet environment?
If resistance to moisture and rust is the principal priority, galvanized strapping is generally the more appropriate option to review. Spring steel strapping focuses more on strong load restraint.
Is the price of spring steel strapping fixed?
No. Width, thickness, order quantity, market conditions and delivery method affect the price and must be stated in the enquiry.
