stapping
man-made fibre or steel. banding should pass under the top deck of the pallet, to remain clear of mechanical handling equipment requirements. some cargo may require protection form the point loading of the strapping, which me by achieved with scrap dunnage, waste cardboard,etc., or using proprietary equipment specially designed for the purpose.
steel strapping may not be suitable for securing cargo that may alter shape or contract, e.g. bags, telescopic cartons etc. Man-made fibres, particularly nylon, may stretch and allow rigid items to move in some instances.
