Strapping Machines

Securing cases, bundles and loads with plastic or textile straps

Strapping machines apply plastic (PP / PET) or textile straps around cardboard cases or grouped products. They help keep loads secure, prevent slipping, opening and damage during transport.

They are most commonly installed after case sealing or before palletizing.

What does a strapping machine do?

A strapping machine automatically:

Loops a strap around a case or product bundle
Tensions the strap according to pre-set parameters
Seals the strap (using heat or friction welding)
Cuts off excess strap material

The result is a tightly secured package that is ready for transport or palletizing.

When are strapping machines used?

Strapping machines are typically used when:

Cases are heavy
The load requires additional stability
Products are grouped into bundles
Cases must remain tightly closed during transport

They are especially useful when sealing tape alone is not enough.

Key benefits

Improved transport stability
Reduced case deformation
Consistent strap tension
More efficient than manual strapping
Cleaner, more professional appearance

Configuration options

Strapping machines can be configured for:

applying one or multiple straps
integration into conveyor systems
operation as a standalone operator station

Typical industries

Food & beverages
Pharmaceuticals & medical products
Logistics & transportation
Cosmetics
Consumer goods
Printing & packaging

Combined use in end-of-line packaging

Strapping systems are often used together with shrink wrap packaging solutions:

Shrink wrap — for bundling products or protecting the surface
Strapping — for mechanical load stability

A typical end-of-line flow may include:

Cartoning or packing products into cases
Case sealing
Shrink wrapping
Strapping
Palletizing

NordSystems develops solutions that help manufacturers choose the right load securing method, based on product type, weight and transport method.
