Strapping Machines | Semi-Automatic, Automatic & Pallet Strapping Machine Systems

Full Range of Strapping Machine Solutions

Choosing the right plastic strapping machine is critical to optimizing your end-of-line packaging process. Landen provides a complete lineup of strapping equipment to match your throughput, product type, and available floor space — from semi-automatic strapping machines for low-volume banding stations to fully automatic pallet strapping machine systems for continuous, high-cycle production lines.

To build a complete end-of-line solution, Landen strapping machines integrate seamlessly with our stretch wrapping machines for pallet load containment and our case sealers for carton closure. Whether you're banding heavy pallet loads or lightweight trays, our engineering team will spec the right combination of strapping machines and packaging equipment for your operation.

Built to Fit Your Workflow

Every production line is different, and every Landen strapping machine is configured to fit it. Whether you need a standalone semi-automatic strapping machine for a manual packing station or a fully automatic pallet strapping machine system integrated into a conveyor line, our engineers provide custom machine layouts, on-site evaluations, and full installation support.

Our plastic strapping machines are compatible with both PP strapping and polyester strapping, available directly from Landen so you can source your strapping equipment and consumables from one place. Adjustable tension, loop ejection, and automatic feed features come standard to ensure uninterrupted performance across every shift.

Industries We Serve

Landen's strapping machines are trusted by manufacturers and packaging operations across North America. Our plastic strapping machine systems support a wide range of industrial applications, including:

• Food processing (meat, poultry, seafood, and produce)
• Hardwood flooring and wood cabinet manufacturing
• PVC pipe and building materials
• Tire strapping
• Lumber and textiles
• Tobacco
• Corrugated box packaging
• Mail tray and linen bundling.

Every application benefits from Landen's durable machine construction, fast cycle times, and low-maintenance design. For a complete end-of-line packaging system, pair your strapping machine with our stretch wrapping machines or case sealers. When uptime matters, Landen machines deliver.

What is a strapping machine, and how does it work?

A strapping machine secures products, cartons, or pallets by wrapping a plastic or steel strap tightly around the load, then sealing the strap ends together using heat, friction, or an ultrasonic weld. The process runs in a repeatable cycle — feed, tension, seal, and cut — so every unit leaves the line secured to the same standard. Landen's strapping machines, from the semi-automatic LP-9X to the fully automatic LP-9DXA, automate this cycle with adjustable tension, automatic feed, and loop ejection, reducing manual labor while ensuring a consistent, reliable strap every time.

What's the difference between a semi-automatic and a fully automatic strapping machine?

A semi-automatic strapping machine requires an operator to position the strap around the product manually, after which the machine tensions and seals it automatically. A fully automatic strapping machine — like Landen's LP-9DXA or LP-9A slim body — feeds, wraps, tensions, and seals the load with minimal to no operator involvement, making it ideal for high-volume production lines and conveyor integration. Landen designs both types, so the right choice comes down to your production speed, labor availability, and whether the line is manual or conveyor-fed.

What industries and applications are Landen's strapping machines built for?

Landen's strapping machines are engineered for demanding, high-throughput environments, including food processing (beef, pork, poultry, and seafood), hardwood flooring, wood cabinet manufacturing, tire strapping, textiles, and tobacco packaging. For sanitary, washdown-ready facilities, models like the LP-9XAB fully automatic and LP-9X semi-automatic stainless steel strapping machines are built to withstand corrosive, high-moisture environments without sacrificing performance. With over 60 years of experience, Landen also offers fully custom machine configurations for niche or harsh-environment applications that standard "out of the box" equipment can't handle.

What type of strapping material should I use with my machine?

Most Landen strapping machines are compatible with both polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PET) strapping, so you can select the material based on your load's weight, sharpness, and required holding strength. PP strap is typically used for lighter, less demanding loads, while polyester strap offers higher tensile strength and retained tension for heavier or export-grade pallets. Because Landen supplies both the machines and the strapping material directly, you can source your equipment and consumables from a single, compatible supplier rather than troubleshooting mismatched materials after installation.

How do I choose the right strapping machine for pallets, boxes, or my specific production line?

The right machine depends on your load type (cartons vs. pallets), strap material, required tension, daily volume, and whether your line is manual or conveyor-integrated. For standalone packing stations, a semi-automatic strapping machine is often sufficient, while high-volume, conveyor-fed operations typically call for a fully automatic pallet strapping system. Landen's engineers provide on-site evaluations and custom machine layouts, so rather than guessing at a spec sheet, you get a strapping machine — semi-automatic, fully automatic, or a specialized stainless steel model — configured specifically for your production environment.
