Closing polypropylene strapping in professional palletizing with a secure, flat closure that does not damage adjacent products requires a metal seal calibrated for the specific hardness of PP, where the aggressive teeth of a PET seal would be counterproductive. This seal for PP strapping—also called a PP metal clip or smooth seal—is manufactured by Maxtens from galvanized steel with a calibrated interior for polypropylene plastic strapping, in boxes of 1000 units for 13-16 mm strapping, designed for warehouses, hardware stores, businesses, and palletizing operations where PP strapping is the dominant format.
Main Benefits
- Specific calibration for PP: The interior of the seal is designed for the relative softness of polypropylene, which produces a firm closure without tearing the strap (a typical problem when applying a toothed PET seal to PP).
- Uniform galvanized steel: Protection against oxidation in storage and transit, keeping the seal operational throughout the entire shipping cycle, even in Caribbean climates.
- Compatibility with standard PP tensioners: Fits with common manual sealing and crimping tools for 13-16 mm strapping, without requiring proprietary tools.
- Permanent and flat closure: When deformed with the crimper, the seal remains flat and without sharp edges, protecting the operator's hands and adjacent products on the pallet.
- Controlled Maxtens production: Uniform tolerances throughout the box for reproducible sealing in professional palletizing lines.
Typical Applications and Uses
- Palletizing of corrugated cardboard boxes in logistics warehouses and distribution centers.
- Closing packages in hardware stores, businesses, and small companies with daily shipping flows.
- Bundling of plastic pipes, light profiles, and grouped materials in workshops.
- Sealing of compacted cardboard bags and regional export boxes with PP strapping.
Quality and Durability
An inexpensive PP seal fails in two areas: the galvanization is poor, and the dimensional tolerances are irregular (leading to seals that deform unevenly with the crimper, leaving some loose). Maxtens works with uniform galvanization and controlled dimensions, which distinguishes a professional-grade seal from a generic consumable that produces unpredictable closures every time the box is changed.
What tool do I need to use these seals?
Does it work for PET strap or only PP?
Are they reusable after one closure?
Does it withstand exposure to humidity or the Caribbean salt-air environment?
