A fully automatic strapping machine automatically applies, tensions, seals, and cuts the strap around a box or bundle. It reduces manual handling and is suitable for continuous packaging operations.

manufacturing pressure-sensitive self-adhesive industrial tapes.
Fully Automatic Strapping Machines for Corrugation Industries
Corrugated boxes are widely used for transporting and storing products across industries such as FMCG, e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, electronics, food processing, and manufacturing.
As production volumes increase, manually bundling finished boxes can become time-consuming and inconsistent. A fully automatic strapping machine helps corrugation and packaging units automate the bundling process while maintaining consistent strap tension and packaging speed.
For production environments where boxes move continuously through a packaging line, an automatic strapping machine can also be integrated with conveyors and other packaging equipment. Salasar Packaging offers the MH-101A and MH-X201A fully automatic strapping machines, designed for automated packaging lines and conveyor-based box movement.
Why Is Strapping Important in the Corrugation Industry?
After corrugated boxes are manufactured, printed, folded, and packed, they often need to be grouped into bundles for handling, storage, and dispatch. Without proper strapping, individual boxes can shift or separate during movement.
Manual strapping can require repeated operator intervention for positioning, tightening, and sealing. For production units handling large quantities of cartons, this can slow down the packaging workflow.
A corrugated box strapping machine automates this part of the process, helping production teams create uniform bundles with less manual handling.
What Is a Fully Automatic Strapping Machine?
A fully automatic strapping machine is a packaging machine that automatically performs the strapping cycle around a package or bundle. Depending on the machine configuration, the process can include positioning, strap feeding, tensioning, sealing, and cutting.
Unlike a manual or semi-automatic setup, the operator does not need to perform every individual strapping operation. This makes an automatic strapping machine suitable for production environments where packaging speed and repeatability are important.
Salasar's fully automatic models are designed to work with roller conveyors and can be combined with other packaging equipment, including carton box taping and sealing machines.
How Does a Fully Automatic Strapping Machine Work?
The basic automatic strapping process can be understood in a few steps:
1. Bundle positioning: The corrugated box bundle reaches the strapping station through the conveyor or packaging line.
2. Strap application: The machine positions and feeds the strap around the package.
3. Tensioning: The strap is tightened according to the selected machine setting.
4. Sealing: The strap is secured to hold the bundle together.
5. Cutting and cycle completion: The machine completes the strapping cycle so the packaged bundle can continue through the production line.
The exact operation and configuration depend on the machine model and the packaging setup.
Applications of Automatic Strapping Machines in Corrugation Industries
A fully automatic strapping machine can be used wherever corrugated products need to be grouped and secured for handling or dispatch.
Common applications include:
Corrugated box bundles
Printed carton bundles
Flat-packed boxes
FMCG packaging
E-commerce cartons
Industrial packaging
Shipping and dispatch bundles
High-volume carton production lines
The main advantage is not simply automation; it is the ability to make strapping part of a continuous packaging workflow.

MH-101A vs MH-X201A Fully Automatic Strapping Machine
Salasar offers two configurations with different specifications.
| Specification | MH-101A | MH-X201A |
|---|---|---|
| Power supply | 380V, 50/60Hz, 1.0kW | 220V, 50/60Hz, 0.4kW |
| Tying speed | ≤2.5 sec/channel | ≤2.5 sec/channel |
| Tightening force | 0–60 kg, adjustable | 0–50 kg, adjustable |
| Minimum package size | 80 × 60 mm | 80 × 60 mm |
| Standard frame | 800 × 600 mm | 800 × 600 mm |
| Working table height | 750 mm | 750 mm |
| Strap width | 9–15 mm | 9–15 mm |
| Strap thickness | 0.55–1.0 mm | 0.55–1.0 mm |
| Weight | 220 kg | 150 kg |
Both models offer a tying speed of up to 2.5 seconds per channel, while the tightening-force range and electrical specifications differ. Frame dimensions and working table height can also be customized according to requirements.
What Type of Strap Can Be Used?
Choosing the appropriate strap is important for achieving the required packaging performance. Salasar Packaging offers different strapping solutions, including PP Strap and PET Strap.
However, strap selection should be based on the machine's specified dimensions, application requirements, package characteristics, and manufacturer recommendations. For the fully automatic models discussed here, the listed strap specification is 9–15 mm width and 0.55–1.0 mm thickness.
Before purchasing an automatic strapping machine, production units should therefore confirm strap compatibility with the specific machine configuration.
How to Choose a Fully Automatic Strapping Machine for a Corrugation Plant
The right automatic strapping machine for corrugated boxes depends on more than packaging speed. Consider:
Size and dimensions of the box bundles
Required strap width and thickness
Required tightening force
Production volume
Number of straps required per bundle
Conveyor configuration
Available floor space
Electrical power availability
Required frame dimensions
Integration with existing taping or sealing machines
For automated production lines, compatibility with upstream and downstream equipment is especially important.
Integrating Strapping Into an Automated Packaging Line
One of the major advantages of an automatic strapping system is that it can become part of a larger packaging workflow.
A typical corrugated packaging process can follow:
Box forming → Printing/folding → Carton sealing or taping → Conveyor movement → Automatic strapping → Further conveying → Storage or dispatch
Salasar's fully automatic strapping machines are designed to integrate with roller conveyors and can work alongside carton taping and sealing equipment. This makes them suitable for production units looking to build a more connected packaging line.
Conclusion
A fully automatic strapping machine can help corrugation and packaging industries streamline the final bundling stage of their production process. By automating strap application and integrating the machine with conveyor-based packaging lines, manufacturers can reduce repetitive manual handling and create a more consistent workflow.
Salasar Packaging's MH-101A and MH-X201A provide different power, tightening-force, and machine-weight configurations while offering adjustable frame and working-table options.
