A logistics company specializing in heavy cargo faced recurring challenges in securing pallets with steel strapping. The steel straps were expensive, heavy to handle, and posed safety risks to workers during packaging operations. The company sought a modern solution that could improve efficiency while cutting costs.
The company needed a packaging system that provided strong and reliable strapping for heavy goods but was safer and more economical than steel. Environmental considerations also pushed management to explore recyclable materials.
The company invested in a PET strapping band extrusion line. The machine produced high-strength PET straps directly on-site, allowing the logistics firm to customize strap width, thickness, and tensile strength based on shipping needs.
Machine installation and calibration completed within 10 days
Staff trained in operation and maintenance
Integration with existing palletizing and automatic strapping equipment
Metric | Before (Steel Strapping) | After (PET Strapping) | Improvement |
---|---|---|---|
Packaging cost per pallet | $4.80 | $3.10 | 35% reduction |
Worker injury incidents | 5 per year | 0 | Eliminated |
Strap tensile reliability | High but rigid | High and flexible | Improved handling |
Sustainability compliance | Limited | 100% recyclable | Fully compliant |
“Switching to a PET strapping band machine has been a game-changer for us. We reduced packaging costs significantly, improved workplace safety, and aligned with our company’s sustainability goals.”
The adoption of a PET strapping band machine provided the logistics company with measurable improvements in cost efficiency, safety, and environmental responsibility. This case demonstrates how modern strapping technology can replace outdated methods and support sustainable growth in logistics and packaging.
