Cord is the newest heavy duty steel strap replacement. It is simple to use, and has very little start up cost.  Buy the cord strap, buckles, a tensioner, and a dispenser, no sealer needed.  The buckles work like a boy scout belt buckle.  They allow strapping to pull through in only one direction.

The strapping is so easy to use, it has taken over the lumber yards in the US market and across Europe.  It is great for several key reasons:

• Safety
• Ease of use
• Does not damage product or paint jobs like steel strapping did!
• Cord strap can be re-tightened down the line
