Bsc Preferred PSH718 Polypropylene Strapping Coil

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED PSH718 is a smooth polypropylene strapping coil designed for securing packages and loads in shipping and warehouse environments. Polypropylene strapping offers roughly half the weight of comparable steel strapping while delivering strong, reliable hold across a wide range of bundling applications. The smooth surface finish makes it compatible with standard strapping tools and tensioners. Its weather-resistant construction maintains performance in damp or outdoor storage conditions, and the split-resistant material helps deter pilferage by resisting tear-through during transit. Licensed packaging and shipping personnel as well as warehouse operations teams are the primary installers of this product.

The PSH718 is suited for light- to medium-duty strapping applications in distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and shipping departments. It is commonly used to secure corrugated cartons, bundled materials, and palletized goods prior to shipment. The coil is noted as comparable to Signode 718, making it a practical replacement option for operations already sourcing that specification. The absence of sharp edges reduces handling risk for workers applying and removing strapping manually or with hand tools.

Installation Notes

Strapping should be applied using a properly sized tensioner and sealer or crimping tool rated for polypropylene material. Ensure the coil is loaded correctly into the dispensing cart or strapping machine feed path to prevent tangles or misfeed. Inspect the strap for kinks or damage before tensioning to avoid premature breakage under load. Follow all applicable facility safety protocols when operating strapping tools.
