Optimax seals and buckles Collection
Complete your manual packing setup with our commercial range of industrial fasteners and clips.
Our comprehensive collection features high strength seals for steel strapping and heavy duty buckles for steel strapping to secure high tension metal bands on timber crates and heavy machinery. For synthetic applications, we supply seals for plastic strapping designed for manual crimping tools, alongside durable buckles for plastic strapping that allow secure, hand tensioned fastening without the need for specialist machinery.
Category FAQs
How do Strapping seals work?
Understanding how strapping seals work is straightforward but critical for securing transit freight. First, the plastic or metal banding is wrapped around your cargo and the ends are overlapped. A specialised metal closure is then placed directly over the overlap, and a manual sealing tool is used to crimp it, forcing the clip to grip both layers incredibly tightly.
Do I need to use strapping seals?
Not always, but they are highly recommended for specific workflows. Strapping seals are best for heavy duty applications and situations requiring the maximum tensile strength and permanent, secure fixings. Sourced from leading UK packaging suppliers, utilising a physical metal clip ensures that heavy industrial crates and high tension pallet loads remain completely rigid and immoveable under severe transit vibrations.
How do Strapping buckles work?
Industrial strapping buckles function as a highly efficient mechanical connector that allows the strap to be threaded through and tightened manually. Unlike traditional seals, a buckle holds tension mechanically rather than by crimping, utilising a self locking loop system where the buckle grips the strap firmly to prevent slipping. Sourced from leading UK packaging suppliers, these components allow for quick adjustments, making them an excellent choice for securing shifting loads without needing a separate sealer tool.
Do you need to use a specific buckle with stainless steel strapping or banding?
Yes. When working with ultra high tensile metal systems, you must use a compatible stainless steel buckle appropriate to the strapping width.
What size of buckle or seal do I require?
Finding the correct size is very straightforward. The width of the buckle or seal should correspond precisely to the width of the strapping being secured.
Selecting identical widths (for example, matching a 12mm plastic strap with a 12mm metal clip) ensures the banding feeds perfectly through the closure mechanism, preventing mechanical slippage and maintaining optimum load stability during transit.
