The Complete Package: How Stretch Wrapping and Strapping End of Line Systems Work Together

At EAM-Mosca, we have plenty of experience helping with strapping and, now, a lot of stretch wrapping, too. Since our acquisition of Movitec in 2021, we’ve incorporated a variety of stretch wrapping machines into our end-of-line packaging solutions.
One common question that we run into is when to opt for stretch wrapping vs strapping machines. Here is a breakdown of both, along with an analysis of why they work so well together and how EAM-Mosca offers best-in-class options no matter what your end-of-line packaging needs may be.
Before we dive too far into the specific stretch wrapping and strap machine options available, let’s consider the key differences between the two on the packaging line. Both are used as end-of-line packaging containment solutions. However, each features unique pallet wrapping technology.
Strapping Machines: Definition and Benefits
Strapping machines use plastic strapping to secure a variety of pallets and similar bulk-produced items. With a strapping machine, the primary goal is load containment.
Strapping solutions offer a variety of benefits for end-of-line packaging, including:
- Effective load containment and control
- High-strength bonds
- Minimized risk of damage or accidents
- Efficient use of resources
