Poly Strapping Sealer
Using poly strapping to secure a load is a relatively simple job. You only need a few items, and you only need a little training and practice in order to perform the task properly. Once you have a strap wrapped around the load in question, you will use a tensioner to pull that strap tight. From there, a seal is placed onto the two straps. Then the poly strapping sealer is used to crimp the seal securing the two ends of the strap tightly together. That seal will hold the tension in the strap and allow it to do its job.

Frequently Asked Questions About Poly Strapping Sealers
What is a poly strapping sealer tool, and when do I need one?
A poly strapping sealer tool is what we use to crimp a seal onto the two ends of a polypropylene or polyester strap once it’s pulled tight around a load, locking in the tension so the bundle stays secure. Once you’ve wrapped a strap around your pallet or bundle and tightened it with a tensioner, you’ll need a sealer to finish the job and keep it from slipping loose. If you’re already using poly strapping in your operation, or you’re setting up a new packaging station, we can help you find the right sealer for your load size and seal type.
Why choose Vulcan Wire as your polypropylene strapping sealer supplier?
We’ve supplied wire and packaging tools to businesses across the country for over 50 years, and our poly strapping sealers are built to hold up to daily warehouse use. We carry sealers for open, closed, and serrated seal types, so you’re not stuck trying to force the wrong tool onto your strapping setup. Our team is happy to walk you through your options and recommend the right sealer for your strap width and thickness.
What is a friction weld poly sealer, and how is it different from other sealer types?
A friction weld poly sealer creates a bond by generating heat through friction directly on the strap material itself, fusing the overlapping ends together without a separate metal seal. This differs from tools that crimp a metal or plastic seal onto the strap ends to hold the tension. We can help you decide whether a friction weld or a seal-based sealer makes more sense for your application, depending on your strap material and the seal strength you need.
What’s the difference between a heat seal poly strapping tool and a manual poly strapping sealer?
A heat seal poly strapping tool fuses the strap ends together using heat, which works well for polypropylene strapping and doesn’t require a separate seal. A manual poly strapping sealer, on the other hand, crimps a metal or plastic seal onto the strap by hand, using front-action or side-action mechanisms depending on the model. Both get the job done, but the right choice comes down to your strap type, your seal preference, and how much manual effort you want to put into the process.
What seal types work with Vulcan’s poly strapping sealers?
We carry sealers built for open seals, open serrated seals, and closed seals, so whatever seal type your operation uses, we likely have a matching tool. Open seal sealers work well for regular-duty poly strapping in the 1/2 to 3/4-inch width range, while serrated and side-action tools handle heavier-duty jobs up to 3/4 inch. If you’re not sure which seal type your current setup calls for, contact us and we’ll help you figure it out.
How does a poly strapping sealer work?
Once you’ve wrapped a strap around your load and pulled it tight with a tensioner, you’ll place a seal over the two overlapping strap ends. The poly strapping sealer then crimps that seal down tightly, locking the strap ends together and holding the tension you built. That crimped seal is what keeps the load secure from the moment it leaves your dock until it reaches its destination.
Should I get a strapping cart along with my sealer?
If you’re using your sealer on a regular basis, we’d recommend pairing it with a poly strapping cart. A cart keeps your sealer, tensioner, and strapping all together and easy to move between packaging stations, so you’re not hunting down tools every time you need to secure a load. It’s a simple way to keep your team moving efficiently, especially if more than one person handles strapping duties.
What strap widths and thicknesses do Vulcan’s poly strapping sealers support?
Our sealers cover a range of strap widths from 1/2 inch up to 3/4 inch and thicknesses from .025 to .050 inch, depending on the model and seal type you choose. Regular-duty front-action sealers are built for lighter loads, while our heavy-duty side-action and serrated tools handle thicker straps for more demanding applications. Let us know your strap specs and we’ll match you with the right sealer.
