Heavy Loads, Light Tools: Packaging Solutions for the Metals and Building Industries
In the metals and building products industries, securing heavy, irregular, or high-value loads isn’t just a matter of logistics, it’s a matter of safety, efficiency, and cost control.
Whether you’re bundling steel coils, cold roll sheets, lumber, or paneling, the packaging solution you choose can make or break your bottom line. That’s where Greenbridge comes in.
We’ve engineered a complete system of battery-powered tools, high-performance PET strap, and accessories that are built to take on the heaviest jobs—without weighing down your team or compromising safety.
The Challenge: Heavy-Duty Products Demand Heavy-Duty Solutions
Steel and construction materials require serious strength to hold in place during transit. But traditional methods—like steel strapping—bring their own set of problems:
- Steel strap is rigid and prone to snapping under dynamic loads
- Sharp edges and heavy coils can cause workplace injuries
- Rust and corrosion can damage the product beneath
- Steel strapping adds unnecessary weight to every shipment
Greenbridge recognized that the industry needed something stronger, safer, and smarter.

Polyester Strap: Stronger Than It Looks
Greenbridge’s PET strapping is engineered for strength, stretch, and retention—especially important in dynamic loads like stacked lumber or compressed coils that may settle over time.
Key Benefits:
- High elongation means the strap can flex as the load shifts, keeping it secure
- Excellent retained tension ensures the strap holds strong for the long haul
- Safer handling—PET strap won’t cut or rust, reducing injuries and product damage
- Lightweight coils are easier to transport and use, reducing strain on your team
- Environmentally friendly—made from recycled content and fully recyclable
With Greenbridge PET strap, you get the holding power you need without the risks of steel.
