The BAND-IT AE4339 all-purpose band is an 82-1/2-ft. roll of 316 stainless steel strapping that has a thermoplastic powder coating and imprinted measurement marks and that can be cut into straps to bundle materials to a pallet or platform for shipping, or to secure other items such as cables or wires. This banding is made of 316 stainless steel, also known as marine-grade stainless steel, which is resistant to rust, pitting, chloride, and corrosion. The thermoplastic powder coating is resistant to weather, corrosion, abrasions, and ultraviolet rays, and its smooth surface is unlikely to scratch or mar the load. The coating is halogen-free to reduce toxic gas emissions in the case of a fire. Imprinted measurement marks help the user determine the precise amount of strapping needed. The 0.048" thickness is thin enough to allow the strapping to be bent snugly around the load or object. The strapping measures 82-1/2 ft. long, 3/8" wide, and 0.048" thick, weighs 2.6 lb., and has an average breaking strength of 505 lb. (Breaking strength is the greatest stress the strap can withstand without rupturing.) The strapping is suitable for use with fastening buckles (sold separately).

Pallet strappers, also known as strapping machines and banding machines, are used to bundle loads with straps to secure them for storage or transport. Pallet strappers are typically fitted with a roll of strapping, and they can be semiautomatic for low to medium use or fully automatic for high-volume applications, such as at postal facilities or shipping companies. Some pallet strappers are handheld. The strapping itself can be made of metal, polyester, nylon, and other materials, depending on the items to be secured. Pallet strappers can be used in manufacturing and shipping facilities and in other industrial environments.

BAND-IT manufactures band clamping and fastening solutions. The company, founded in 1937, is headquartered in Denver, CO.
