Need a Custom Strap Solution?
If your dimensional, machine, application, or supply requirements fall outside the standard PACKOR range, our team can specify and supply a custom-manufactured option through our manufacturing line. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
Applications
Well suited to lighter loads where high break strength is not the primary requirement. The 12mm width distributes load across a narrower band, making it appropriate for cartons, retail goods, and low-to-medium weight pallets that will not be subject to heavy impact or long-haul transit stress.
Common Use Cases
- Carton bundling and unit load banding
- Light pallet securing for warehousing and dispatch
- Retail goods, consumer products, and FMCG
- Light manufacturing and production line use
- Pick-and-pack operations and order fulfilment
- Display pallet banding and retail-ready packaging
Load Profile Considerations
Best suited to loads under approximately 500kg, stable pallet profiles, and cartons with clean, non-abrasive edges. For loads with sharp or irregular edges, consider an edge protector in combination with the strap. Not recommended for heavy industrial loads or construction materials where a wider, thicker strap is required for load security.
Why Choose This Specification
Choose 12mm when your machine is rated for this width, your loads are light to medium, and you are looking for a cost-effective strap option for high-volume or retail-type applications. The 0.6mm thickness suits lighter carton work; the 0.7mm provides marginally more break strength for slightly heavier pallet loads.

Compatibility is not optional.
Before ordering any PET strap, the strap specification must be confirmed against your machine's requirements. Width, thickness, finish, and sealing compatibility are baseline requirements — not secondary considerations. The sections below follow the real evaluation sequence used by operations and procurement teams assessing strap suitability.
The 12mm width suits a wide range of semi-automatic and manual systems. Width and thickness must match your machine's specified operating range — confirm your machine's minimum and maximum strap dimensions before ordering.
Compatibility Checkpoints
Machine compatibility is not optional — work through these checkpoints before ordering any new strap specification.
The 12mm width suits a wide range of semi-automatic and manual systems. Width and thickness must match your machine's specified operating range — confirm your machine's minimum and maximum strap dimensions before ordering.
The first step in selecting the right strap is confirming that the strap dimensions and surface finish are rated for use in your machine. Strapping machines have defined operating ranges for strap width, thickness, and finish — operating outside these ranges causes feed problems, seal failures, and machine damage.
Machine types this product may suit:
- —Semi-automatic arch strapping machines
- —Tabletop and side-seal strapping machines
- —Manual strapping tools and tensioners
- —Lightweight automatic systems (confirm spec)
This list is indicative only. Always confirm compatibility against your specific machine make, model, and rated operating specification. If you are unsure, contact PACKOR before ordering — we can help confirm suitability based on your machine details.
Custom strap widths available: 9mm to 32mm
If your machine requires a strap width outside the standard range, PACKOR can source or manufacture custom-width PET strap from 9mm to 32mm. Contact us to discuss your machine requirements.
Confirmation and Consultation — Before You Order
The final step is confirmation. Before placing a first order — or when switching suppliers or strap specifications — contact PACKOR to review your machine requirements and application.
If you know your machine make, model, sealing method, and current strap specification, we can help confirm a suitable option quickly. If you are unsure about any of these details, we can work through the evaluation with you.
