Why Strap Goods?
Stretch wrapping has become the fastest way of securing a load, by unitising it to the pallet base. For most loads this is sufficient, but there are many instances where strapping can make the load stronger by securing it more tightly to the pallet, or by binding the load more securely.
Take, for instance, four 200 Ltr steel drums on a pallet. By stretch wrapping the load, the film is expected to constrain 1000 Kg of load from shifting off the pallet in the case of an accident, whereas if the four drums had been strapped horizontally, then the drums had been strapped to the pallet in four pairs, the chances of that load becoming separated or moving off the pallet are greatly diminished. The cost of the strapping under these conditions is nowhere near the cost of the damage to the drum’s contents; other freight; the carrier’s vehicle; other vehicles; the environment, etc.so strapping can be cheap insurance when used judiciously.
Strapping also helps to prevent round objects from moving around once they have been bundled. The same is for the removal of round objects. If they are bundled, then less time is taken to load and unload, and bundles are more stable than individual items. Shipping of one bundle makes more economic sense than several individual items.
When it comes to securing packages and pallet loads with flexibility and control, manual strapping tools offer a simple, affordable, and effective solution. Whether you’re bundling a few boxes a day or working in a warehouse without automated machinery, manual tools give you the freedom to strap at your own pace, in any location.
At Pack King, we’ve been supplying high-quality manual strapping tools and consumables to Australian businesses since 1989. We understand the practical requirements of different industries, and we stock a full range of strapping tools that are built to last and easy to use.
Our Manual Strapping Tool Range
We supply a wide variety of manual strapping tools designed for use with polypropylene (PP), polyester (PET), and composite cord strapping. Our range includes:
Manual Tensioners
Designed to tighten strapping around packages or pallets. These tools allow users to apply the desired level of tension for secure loads without damaging the product.
- Lightweight and portable
- Suitable for flat or irregular surfaces
- Compatible with various strap types and sizes
Manual Sealers (Crimpers)
Used in combination with tensioners, sealers apply a metal seal to lock the strap securely in place.
- Designed for different seal widths
- Available in standard and heavy-duty models
- Serrated and smooth jaw options
Combination Tools
All-in-one devices that tension, seal, and cut the strap in one continuous motion. Ideal for reducing tool changeover and increasing efficiency in lower to medium-volume environments.
- Ergonomic design
- Reduces operator fatigue
- Available for both PP and PET strapping
Strap Cutters
Safe and effective for cutting used strapping from pallets or discarded packaging.
- Spring-loaded for safety
- Available for steel, PET, and PP straps
- Reduces risk of hand injuries
All of our manual strapping tools are selected for their reliability, ease of use, and suitability for real-world industrial and commercial packaging needs.
When to Use Manual Strapping Tools
Manual tools are ideal when:
- You strap goods in multiple locations or on the move
- Power access is limited or unavailable
- Your volume doesn’t justify a machine-based system
- You want greater control over tension or seal quality
- Portability and ease of use are priorities
They’re commonly used across warehouses, construction sites, transport depots, and small-to-medium-sized businesses that value simplicity and durability.
Compatible Strapping Materials
Manual strapping tools can be used with a variety of strapping types, including:
- Polypropylene (PP) – Ideal for light to medium loads
- Polyester (PET) – Suitable for heavier, more rigid loads
- Corded Composite – Flexible, shock-resistant alternative to steel
- Steel Strapping – For very heavy or industrial-grade loads (requires specific cutters and sealers)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are manual strapping tools used for?
A: Manual strapping tools are used to tension, seal, and cut strapping around pallets, cartons, or bundled items. They’re ideal for smaller operations or work environments where automation isn’t practical.
Q: What’s the difference between a tensioner and a combination tool?
A: A tensioner tightens the strap and requires a separate sealer to crimp the seal. A combination tool performs all steps, tensioning, sealing, and cutting, in one device.
Q: Can I use the same tool for different types of strapping?
A: Some tools are designed for use with multiple strap types (PP, PET, corded), while others are strap-specific. Let us know what you’re using, and we’ll make sure your tool is compatible.
Q: Are manual tools suitable for high-volume strapping?
A: Manual tools are best suited for low to moderate volume. For high-volume operations, we recommend upgrading to a semi-automatic or automatic strapping machine for better speed and consistency.
Q: What strap widths do your tools support?
A: Our tools support standard widths from 9mm to 19mm, depending on the model. We’ll help you select the correct tool based on your strap size.
Q: Do I need to buy seals separately?
A: Yes, unless you use a combination tool with friction-weld sealing (in battery or auto systems). For manual setups, you’ll need compatible seals or buckles depending on your strap and tool type.
Q: What’s the most cost-effective tool for occasional use?
A: A simple manual tensioner and sealer combo is perfect for occasional packaging. It’s low-cost, durable, and easy to use.
Q: Do you offer tool repair or servicing?
A: We can advise on basic maintenance and supply spare parts for select models. If a tool requires servicing, call us for support and recommendations.
Q: Can I visit your showroom to see the tools in person?
A: Yes. We welcome visits to our Bayswater showroom, where you can see the full product range and get hands-on demonstrations.
Q: How do I place an order?
A: Call us on (03) 9720 0425 or email ron@kinggroup.com.au. We’ll help you find the right tool and arrange fast delivery Australia-wide.
