High-Strength Tenax™ polyester strapping reduces safety hazards and is easier to dispose of and recycle than steel strapping and wire. As a result, it is the preferred bale packaging material of some of the nation's most influential textile mills.

Utilizing our patented Z-weld seal joint technology, Signode's fully automatic bale strapping system is the first polyester strapping system approved by the National Cotton Council's Bale Packaging Committee.

 High-Strength Tenax™ polyester strapping

High-Strength Tenax is a highly engineered polyester strapping material that combines the performance properties of both steel and plastic strapping to form a stronger, more resilient strapping material. It is approved by the National Cotton Council's Bale Packaging Committee as an alternative to wire and steel strapping in bale packaging applications. The unique properties of this material enable it to elongate and recover without breaking, making it ideal for fiber bales that compress when pressure is applied and expand when it is released. Unlike steel strapping, High-Strength Tenax won't rust and stain fiber bales when exposed to the elements. It is also completely recyclable, which reduces packaging waste and saves money on disposal costs.

 Tenax® polyester strapping

Tenax polyester strapping is designed for medium to heavy-duty palletizing and unitizing applications and can be applied by hand tools or power strapping equipment. This strapping material yields high break strengths and maintains a high level of retained strap tension for maximum load stability. It is commonly used to unitize yarn packages and secure waste bales.
