Banding and Strapping Material
Banding has long been the mainstay choice for unitizing and bundling selling it has been the mainstay of Gulf Packaging's business. Steel, due to its inherent strength and flexibility, dominated the market until the relatively recent advent of plastic stapping. Polypropylene material made inroads into newspaper bundling and light-duty applications but, due to it's higher breaking strength, lower elasticity, and superior abrasion resistance, steel banding is still the unrivaled choice for medium and heavy duty applications. Polyester strapping now competes with steel in the medium duty arena and may soon function well enough to challenge in heavy duty applications but for now, steel is still the king.The National Leader

Our locations stock a full range of material, both steel and plastic, hand or machine grade, regular duty or high strength. We purchase from leading manufacturers both domestically and overseas to ensure the best prices and uninterrupted product availability.
