When To Use A Semi Automatic Strapping Machine? 

Overall, a semi-automatic strapping machine, is great solution for businesses that need to close boxes, unitise packages for freight, and secure parcels regularly. Compared to a hand-held tool or an electric strapping machine, a semi strapping tool gives the best of both worlds by providing speed, ease-of-use, and cost efficiency. When delivering goods, some freight carriers tend to charge businesses per box or parcel and so strapping two to three packages together can effectively secure packages while cutting costs. 

Moreover, a semi strapping machine is a secure and eco-friendly strapping solution. The strapping serves as another layer of protection to theft since it’s much harder to tamper with it compared to tape. On another note, a semi automatic strapping machine allows business owners to reuse boxes since these tools don’t mark, damage, or destroy cartons. Once the strapping is removed at the destination, the packaging materials can be recovered and reused. Overall, this makes a semi auto machine is a great choice for facilities with a high volume of work since they provide a good balance of efficiency and sustainability.
