Strap Guards

Strap guards sit at the point where a strap contacts a box or product edge, protecting packaging and contents from the pressure of a tightened strap. They are placed along corners and edges before strapping is tensioned, helping cartons keep their shape, lumber keep clean edges, and finished surfaces stay unmarked during shipping. A small addition to a strapping setup that protects the load being secured. They suit palletized loads.

Strap guards are durable protective inserts that prevent strapping from cutting, crushing, or damaging boxes and palletized loads during shipping, storage, and handling.

• Light-duty edge protectors: Strap guards sit at the contact point between the strap and a carton or product edge.

• Load stability: Spreading pressure at the edge supports packaging integrity.

• Longer strapping life: Guards limit edge wear on the strapping itself.

• Industrial, retail, and e-commerce use: Suits cartons, bundles, and palletized shipments.

Q: Where do strap guards go on a load?

A: Strap guards sit under the strap at the corners and edges of a carton or palletized load, placed before the strap is tensioned.

Q: What do strap guards protect?

A: They protect boxes, palletized loads, and product edges from cutting or crushing under a tightened strap, and they limit wear on the strapping itself.

Q: Do strap guards work with poly and polyester strapping?

A: Yes. Strap guards sit between the load and the strap, so they work with common strapping materials.
