16mm PET Packaging Strapping Roll 5120N No Crush For Warehouse Carton Sorting

Hello, I am the engineer who makes this strap. If you are new to strapping, I will keep it simple. This 1608 is a soft, flexible green PET strap — 16 mm wide and 0.8 mm thick, with a rated breaking strength of 5,120 N (that is about 520 kg of pull before it breaks). The one thing I want you to know is that this strap is designed to be gentle. Because it is wide and soft, it spreads the holding force over a large area, so it ties your cartons and light goods tightly without crushing or denting them. It is made for carton packing, light cargo and daily warehouse sorting — and it is light to carry and easy on the hands, so your team can use it all day without getting tired.

This is the 1608 roll. Notice how soft and bendy it is in the hand — that softness is exactly what keeps your cartons free of pressure marks.

• Gentle, No-Crush: the wide 16 mm face spreads the force, so cartons, plastic products and light fragile goods are held without indentation.
• Soft and Flexible: the thin 0.8 mm body bends around any corner cleanly instead of cracking.
• 5,120 N Strength: about 520 kg of pull before it snaps — plenty for light and medium everyday loads.
• Light and Labor-Saving: easy for anyone to lift and use, so long packing shifts are less tiring.
• No Rust, No Sharp Edges: plastic never rusts and cannot cut your hands.
• Embossed or Smooth: grippy embossed or flat smooth, to match anti-slip or anti-scratch needs.
• Great Value: a long 1,200 m roll and low cost per metre for everyday warehouse use.

If you are not sure whether this is the right strap, here is the simple rule I give every new buyer. Choose the 1608 when your goods are light to medium and you care about not damaging them — cartons, e-commerce parcels, plastic products, daily-chemical goods and light building materials. It is the best choice for low-tension, no-crush packing. If your goods are heavy — steel, stone, big pallets — step up to our 19 mm or 25 mm straps. Still not sure? Send me a photo of your packed goods and I will tell you honestly which size fits.

On our production floor. The soft, even texture is produced consistently, so every roll feeds cleanly through your tools and machine.

This roll comes in two surfaces, and the choice is simple:

If you are unsure, the embossed version is the safer default for stacked cartons.

If you are switching from old steel banding for the first time, here is the simple comparison:

In short: for light and medium goods you get a secure, safe hold — without the rust and without damaging your cartons.

Even a soft strap has to be a reliable one, so every batch passes the same checks before it ships:

• Tensile testing: a sample from each batch is pulled to confirm the 5,120 N strength and the 8%–12% stretch.
• Dimension inspection: width, thickness and roll length are measured to hold the 16 mm / 0.8 mm / 1,200 m size.
• Surface inspection: every coil is checked for an even finish with no rough edges.
• Weld strength check: the sealed joint is tested to confirm it holds at full strength.

Our company certificates and test reports are open for you to check — you do not have to take our word for quality.

This 1608 is built for light-load standardised packing: e-commerce logistics cartons, daily-chemical products, textiles, light building materials, warehouse sorting and general carton bundling. It also runs well on machines — compatible with automatic and semi-automatic strapping machines, and fine for manual bundling too.

Everything above is backed by a real, auditable company. We are Xiangyang Suhai Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd., founded in February 2011 in Hubei, China, and recognised as a National High-Tech Enterprise (Certificate No. GR202442006492, issued 26 December 2024, valid for three years). We were also selected for Hubei Province's 7th batch of Specialised, Refined, Differentiated and Innovative SMEs. Our manufacturing is certified under quality, environmental and occupational health & safety management systems, and our products are supported by SGS test reports. Certificate copies and test reports are available on request for your file.

In-house process control. One recipe at volume is how we keep quality consistent, supply stable and pricing factory-direct.

As the factory, we make the 1608 easy to buy your way. You can customise the colour, the surface (embossed or smooth), the roll length and weight, and add a printed logo. A 5 ton minimum keeps the price fair, and our complete lines give a stable output of 3,000 tons per month so repeat orders stay on schedule. Each roll is wrapped in plastic protective film and stacked on standard wooden pallets for container or full-truck transport, with delivery in 5–10 working days after deposit. A sample test before a big order is always welcome.

Our factory. As a direct manufacturer we run production, inspection and packing ourselves — the reason quality stays consistent order to order.

Finished rolls are wrapped and loaded for export — dry, protected and ready to use the moment they arrive at your site.

• Q: What is the 1608 best for? Light and medium goods — cartons, e-commerce parcels, plastic products, daily-chemical goods and general warehouse packing.
• Q: Will it crush or mark my cartons? No — that is exactly what it is designed to avoid. The wide, soft 16 mm face spreads the force so boxes are held without indentation.
• Q: Is 5,120 N strong enough for me? It is about 520 kg of pull before it snaps — ample for cartons and light-medium loads. For heavy goods, move up to our 19 mm or 25 mm straps.
• Q: Do I need a machine, or can I strap by hand? Both work. You can start by hand with a simple tensioner, and the same roll also runs on semi-automatic and automatic machines.
• Q: Still not sure which strap fits? Send me a photo of your packed goods and tell me roughly what it weighs — I will point you to the right size honestly.
