Common packaging and handling options include hook and loop straps, cinch straps, peel and stick coins, face straps with grommets, reinforced straps, cut-to-length pieces, and custom packaging by piece-count or set.

Hook and Loop Straps for Packaging
Hook and loop straps can bundle, support, and organize materials for packaging and handling. They can be used for strapping down pallets, securing products in transport, bundling parts, or organizing materials that need to be handled repeatedly.
HookandLoop.com makes cinch straps in widths ranging from 5/8" up to 3" and in custom lengths. Rings are available in plastic or nickel when the strap design requires a ring closure.
Cinch Straps, Webbing Reinforcement, and Double-Sided Loop
Cinch straps are useful when a package, product, pallet, or bundled item needs a reusable strap that can be tightened and released. For additional strength, packaging straps can be reinforced with webbing.
Straps can also be made double-sided with loop. This can help protect strapped-down cargo from damage caused by objects shifting in transit.
Peel and Stick Coins for Small Packages
Peel and stick coins are useful for securing small packages such as end-user boxes, bagged items, and envelopes. Their small format can make them a practical choice when a full strip or strap is not needed.
For adhesive-backed packaging applications, apply peel and stick products to clean, dry, compatible surfaces and test the adhesive with the actual packaging material before ordering in volume.
Face Straps and Grommets
Face straps with grommets can be used to secure packages to pallets. A grommet is a small brass ring punched through material to create a reinforced opening.
Grommets are useful when rope or string loads need to pass through the material. For custom applications, the strap design should account for the package size, load path, ring placement, grommet placement, and handling method.
Custom Packaging by Piece-Count or Set
HookandLoop.com can package orders by piece-count or as sets for assemblies or end users. This can help manufacturers, fulfillment teams, and product developers receive parts in a format that is easier to handle, sort, kit, or distribute.
Packaging support can be helpful when cut pieces, straps, or converted fasteners need to arrive ready for an assembly line, product kit, retail package, or end-user shipment.

HookandLoop.com offers free cut-to-length services for eligible products. Cut-to-length service can prepare hook and loop pieces before they arrive, reducing the need for repetitive measuring and cutting after delivery.

Quick Sample Straps
HookandLoop.com also offers a quick sample service for custom straps. The existing page describes the service as four custom made straps packaged in a shipping envelope and shipped by U.S. mail for $20.00.
