With more than 60 years of manufacturing experience, Samuel Packaging Store operates as a single-source supplier for all industrial strapping needs across four core areas:

- Strapping materials — steel, polyester (PET), and polypropylene (PP) strap in a wide range of widths and gauges

- STL hand tools — battery-powered, manual, and pneumatic tools for both plastic and steel strap

- PSG engineered strapping machines — automated systems for high-production packaging lines

- Tool repair and OEM parts replacement — professional in-house servicing to minimize downtime

Businesses across the USA can consolidate their entire strapping supply chain with a single vendor and receive all products in one timely delivery.

- Choose steel when loads are extremely heavy, have sharp or irregular edges, or must maintain tension over long storage periods without elongation

- Choose polyester (PET) for heavy palletized loads that experience impact or settling in transit — PET recovers tension after shock

- Choose polypropylene (PP) for lighter bundling and high-volume operations where cost-per-strap is the primary driver

Steel provides the highest absolute tensile strength and zero elongation. Plastic alternatives are safer to handle and lower in cost, but cannot match steel for the most demanding heavy-industrial applications. - 

Samuel's STL battery-powered tools are fully cordless — no compressed air required. All tools operate in horizontal and vertical orientations and are ergonomically designed to reduce operator fatigue over a full production shift.

- STL-3 Series — 1/2" to 5/8" polyester or polypropylene, up to 0.040" thick, 75% joint efficiency

- STL-3HD — 5/8" to 3/4" polyester strap, 75% joint efficiency, horizontal and vertical operation

- STL-3SS — Battery-powered steel strap sealer, up to 200 sealing cycles per charge

- STL-3ST — Battery-powered steel strap tensioner, up to 200 tensioning cycles per charge

Samuel's PSG engineered strapping machines are automated systems that provide uniform strap placement and consistent load integrity for high-production packaging operations. They integrate into existing or new production lines as a complete end-of-line automated packaging solution.

- Elimination of manual strapping bottlenecks on continuous production lines

- Repeatable load securement that reduces in-transit damage claims

- Scalable throughput for manufacturing and distribution environments

Samuel's engineering team supports the full integration process — from initial CAD design through on-site installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance.

Steel strapping is a high-strength metallic banding material that has long been the standard for heavy-duty industrial packaging. Samuel supplies steel strap in standard-duty and high-tensile grades, available in single-wound and ribbon-wound coil formats.

- Metal coils, steel pipe, and structural beams

- Loads requiring maximum stability with zero elongation under sustained tension

- Loads stored outdoors for extended periods under continuous pressure

- Heavy machinery or equipment immobilized for transport

Samuel also stocks a complete range of steel seals — open, push-type, thread-on (closed), open-flange, and magazine-fed — to complete every steel strapping system. a

Polyester (PET) strapping provides high tensile strength and elongation recovery, maintaining consistent strap tension even after load impact or settling — the preferred choice for heavy palletized goods and demanding supply chains. It is also UV-resistant and recyclable.

Polypropylene (PP) strapping is the most cost-effective plastic option. Its flexibility, light weight, and wide availability across sizes and gauges make it ideal for lighter bundling and high-volume operations.

Pneumatic tools are specified for stationary, high-volume production lines where compressed air is available and maximum cycle throughput is the priority.

- STL-PC — Single notch push-type for standard-duty steel strap; highest tensioning capability in its class

- STL-PC-32 — Double notch upcut combination for high-tensile round or irregular surfaces; suspension bracket for vertical use

- STL-PCHD — Heavy-duty double notch for the most demanding applications; push/closed seals for maximum seal strength

- STL-PDN / STL-PS / STL-PT — Sealer and tensioner system for high-tensile round surfaces; works in tandem without losing tension when switching tools

Yes. Samuel's technical team provides complete end-to-end engineering support for businesses designing or upgrading their strapping and unitizing infrastructure.

- Concept and requirement assessment — evaluating load type, volume, strap specification, and line configuration

- Advanced CAD engineering — designing the optimal strapping system for your specific application

- Fabrication and on-site installation — deploying the solution with minimal production disruption

- Ongoing maintenance and support — keeping equipment running at peak performance long-term

With over 60 years of packaging expertise as a division of Samuel, Son & Co., Samuel Packaging Store serves as a complete packaging partner — not just a product supplier.
