This product description refers to a specific type of Polypropylene (PP) strapping band often used in semi-automatic or manual packaging operations.1
Here is a breakdown of the specifications and what they mean:
PP Strapping Band (15mm x 6.0KG)
| Term |
Detail |
Explanation |
| PP |
Polypropylene |
The material. PP strapping is the most common and economical plastic strapping, ideal for light to medium-duty bundling and securing products like cartons, magazines, and light pallet loads. |
| 15mm |
Strap Width |
This is the width of the band. It's a common size, often used for larger cartons and palletizing lightweight goods. It's equivalent to slightly less than 5/8 inch. |
| 6.0KG |
Roll Weight |
This is the net weight of the plastic material on the roll. In the strapping industry, roll weight is a common way to measure the quantity, as the length will vary based on the band's thickness. |
| Heavy Duty |
Strength Designation |
A non-standardized term used by the manufacturer to indicate this particular roll has higher tensile strength and/or a thicker gauge (thickness) than their standard, lighter-weight PP rolls (e.g., a 15mm roll might typically weigh 5KG or 7KG, so a 6KG roll sits in the heavy-duty range for PP). |
| Double Colour |
Visual Feature |
The strap likely features two distinct colors, possibly one color on the top and a different color on the bottom, or alternating colors throughout the roll. This is purely for visual identification, branding, or easier detection during automated strapping. |
| Packing Belt |
Generic Term |
Another general term for strapping band. |
