Applications
Suited to the full range of medium to heavy industrial applications. The wider 16mm profile distributes load pressure more effectively than 12mm strap, making it appropriate for heavier pallets, mixed loads, and applications where load security across transit is important.
Common Use Cases
- Medium to heavy pallet strapping for warehousing
- Logistics and transport load securing
- Manufacturing end-of-line pallet unitisation
- Export packing and container loads
- Distribution centre operations
- General industrial and commercial strapping
Load Profile Considerations
Handles pallets up to and beyond 1,000kg depending on the number of straps and the thickness selected. Well suited to stable and irregular pallet profiles, mixed carton loads, boxed goods, and palletised manufacturing output. For loads with sharp edges — such as cut timber, steel sections, or panel products — use edge protectors to prevent strap abrasion and premature failure.
Why Choose This Specification
Choose 16mm when your machine accepts this width and you need a strap that can cover the full range of medium to heavy operational demands. The 0.7mm thickness suits general warehousing; 0.9mm or 1.0mm suits heavier loads, export applications, and demanding transit conditions. Most businesses operating standard semi-automatic or automatic pallet strapping equipment will be running 16mm strap.

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.
16mm is the most widely used strap width in Australian industrial operations, and is accepted by the broadest range of semi-automatic and automatic strapping machines. Thickness selection (0.7mm, 0.9mm, 1.0mm) must match your machine's operating specification.
Compatibility Checkpoints
Machine compatibility is not optional — work through these checkpoints before ordering any new strap specification.
16mm is the most widely used strap width in Australian industrial operations, and is accepted by the broadest range of semi-automatic and automatic strapping machines. Thickness selection (0.7mm, 0.9mm, 1.0mm) must match your machine's operating specification.
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
- —Fully automatic in-line strapping systems
- —Tabletop strapping machines (16mm rated)
- —High-throughput automated pallet strapping systems
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.
