Strapping Material
Strapping is similar to refueling: you don’t put the cheapest fuel into a top-class engine if you want to achieve maximum performance. Our machines operate with maximum availability as well. But only in combination with high-quality strapping can you experience truly peak results.
As a system supplier, we not only offer reliable strapping machines, individual strapping systems and comprehensive Service, but also provide plastic strapping made from polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PET). Since 2008, we have been producing our strapping at our Muckental plant in the heart of Germany’s Odenwald forest. It is one of the most modern fully automatic plants in Europe and operates around the clock. Furthermore, we have added paper strapping to our strapping portfolio as recyclable alternative made from renewable raw materials.
As an additional benefit, we will be pleased to print your logo on our straps or emboss them with a seal of authenticity. This provides additional security during transportation. If your cargo reaches your customer with the strapping intact, he can be sure that it has come undamaged directly from your facility. Further checks are thus unnecessary.
We are also very flexible in terms of deliveries of our strapping. From a single box to an entire truck or container load, everything is possible by arrangement. If you are interested, we support you individually, determine your needs and also supply larger quantities rapidly.

PP Strapping
PP strapping represents approximately two-thirds of our production. We manufacture it as standard in widths 5-15 millimeters in black. On request, we will be happy to produce it for you in other colors as well. PP strapping material is particularly suitable for strapping packages, cartons or other containers, as well as lighter pallets. After use, it can be easily fed back into the material cycle. It is completely recyclable, has a constantly high quality, can be failure-free processed and is short-term available.
PP Strapping
Most frequent fields of application are
- General logistics (boxes of corrugated cardboard, styrofoam, plastic)
- Printing industry (newspaper, magazines)
- Corrugated cardboard industry (folding boxes, cut-outs)
- Tins and bottles of plastic, aluminum and cardboard
- Construction and container (furniture, wooden slats, tiles and bricks)
- Food industry (meat, fish, poultry in folding boxes or styrofoam)
PET Strapping
PET strapping is particularly tear-resistant and elastic at the same time. Thus they reliably absorb shocks during transportation and, depending on width, can sustain loads of between 185 and 580 kg. Our PET strapping is available in widths of 9.5 to 15.5 millimeters with tight fabrication tolerances. After use, it can be easily fed back into the material cycle, since it consists of 100 % recyclabled plastic bottles (bottle flakes). It has a high stability for optimal load security. Its constantly high quality ensures a high machine availability.
PET Strapping
Most frequent fields of application are
- Corrugated cardboard industry
- Print Products
- General logistics
- Electrical industry (TVs, cooling/heating units, kitchen equipment)
- Automotive industry (equipment and spare parts for cars, trucks and bikes)
Paper strapping
Paper strapping is an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional plastic strapping. They are suitable for sealing and bundling light packages and objects for short-term indoor storage and withstand loads of between 25 and 55 kg. We offer them in the sizes 5, 9 or 12 mm. Due to the soft, smooth and flexible material, the paper strapping is easy to process and adapts perfectly to the shape of the packaging. Handling is safe for the user as there is no risk of injury from sharp edges. The natural strap can be torn off by hand and can be processed in almost all semi-automatic as well as automatic strapping devices.
Paper strapping
Most frequent fields of application are
- Mail order
- Logistics

- Textile industry
- Corrugated Products
- Print Products
Plastic or paper?
PLASTIC
The hard-wearing all-rounder
- High strength
- Long shelf life
- Elastic
- Can easily secure heavy products
- Can be easily processed further in the material cycle
PAPER
The environmentally friendly illusion
- Securing small products
- Come from a renewable source
What is the right choice?
Ultimately, the best choice depends on the specific application requirements. Factors such as the weight and type of goods, the transportation conditions and the company's sustainability goals must be taken into account.
+ PERFORMANCE FIRST
Safety and reliability are paramount. Both paper and plastic belts must meet strict industry standards. Failure can have fatal consequences.
+ LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT
The environmental impact goes beyond the material itself. Factors such as production, transportation and end-of-life management must be evaluated and objectively compared.
+ RECYCLING REALITY
Although both materials are recyclable, the efficiency and feasibility varies.
INNOVATION & COLLABORATION
The industry is working on more sustainable solutions. Collaboration beyond company boundaries and along the entire value chain is crucial for success.
DIGITALIZATION & AI
Companies like Mosca use artificial intelligence to optimize processes and develop more sustainable solutions. For example, data analysis and machine learning can be used to generate optimal order sequences, which leads to more efficient production and the avoidance of waste.
You can rest assured with our strapping materials: Your products are perfectly secured. The robust straps effectively prevent cabinets from tipping over or parts from being damaged. The answer to the question "paper or plastic?" depends on various factors. By carefully weighing up the pros and cons and working with our experts, companies can make informed decisions that balance performance and sustainability. The integration of digitalization and artificial intelligence will play a crucial role in optimizing processes and developing new, more sustainable solutions.
