Packaging Consumables

Setting the right tension and not overloading the package with too much weight can help prevent strap breakage. The FROMM packaging consumables range includes PP straps with tensile strengths of up to 400kg breaking strain, and steel strapping material with breaking strains of up to 22650 N.

It is important to configure strapping machines accurately to accommodate these breaking limits to avoid placing the strapping material under too much strain which can potentially lead to breakage.

PET straps offer higher tensile strength with less room for flexibility, making them ideal for heavy loads where load stability is more important to prevent breakage. PET straps are also UV-resistant for outdoor storage applications. On the other hand, PP straps have lower tensile strength but are more flexible. They are a more cost-effective alternative for lighter loads.

Yes, FROMM provides a more sustainable packaging consumable alternative to traditional bubble wrap. We offer Airpad paper cushions that serve the same purpose as plastic bubble wrap, acting as void-fill cushions that provide a layer of protection for loosely packaged products. These paper pads are made from 75% recycled paper and can contain up to 99% air when fully inflated.

These Airpad paper cushions are compatible with the FROMM Airpad Paper Cushion Machine.

Our PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) straps are designed for single-use applications and are not recommended for reuse. Reusing PET straps may compromise their tensile strength and lead to potential breakage in subsequent applications. For the best results, we recommend using new fresh PET straps for each package operation.
