Plastic strapping strapping buckle Microgrip®

Seal and buckle joints are used for steel and plastic strap to attach strapping ends together. Maximum Hold Several seal options to provide maximum holding power Rich Tradition Signode seals have a long history in a variety of different applications Specially Shaped Shaped to produce maximum frictional forces on the strapping Application Specific Joints can provide holding power for both light and heavy-duty applications Seals and Buckles create strapping joints on steel or plastic strap, and joints are used to hold tensioned strapping ends together and help prevent the straps from coming apart. Metal strapping joints include a seal with a notch or crimp joint, and plastic strapping joints include a seal with a crimp joint or a secured buckle. Signode manual sealers provide positive sealing action with minimal effort. Light and durable, they lock strap ends into a high strength joint. Notch-type sealers cut into the seal and outer edges of the strapping, turning tabs down (down notch) or up (reverse notch). The strength of the notch joint comes from the mechanical interlock between the seal and strapping. Notch joints are typically used on waxed strapping in packaging and unitizing applications. Crimp-type sealers press the edges of the strapping and seal into wavy crimps (they do not cut into the strap and seal) and are specially shaped to produce maximum frictional forces on the strapping. The strength of the crimp joint comes from the deformed seal creating high frictional forces. Crimp joints produce high static and dynamic joint strengths and are used on applications like carloading in which the strapped load is subject to severe impact.
