Hand strapping tools come in manual, battery-powered, pneumatic, and versions designed for steep straps. These tools are used to secure strapping bands around products or packages, making them ideal for various packaging needs. Handheld strapping tools are well-suited for low-volume packaging, offering an affordable, portable solution that allows for both horizontal and vertical strapping.
While manual strapping may seem straightforward, hand tools tend to be heavier, which makes them less efficient for high-volume operations. Additionally, proper use of a hand strapping tool requires experience and skill, as the process can take up to 3 minutes per application due to the multiple actions involved. Often, several tools are needed for tensioning and securing the strap, further increasing the time and effort required.
For small-scale packaging operations, handheld strapping tools provide a flexible and cost-effective option. However, for high-volume packaging needs, automated strapping machines can offer significantly greater efficiency and productivity.
