2026-06-16 How do the thickness and width of PP strapping affect its price?
The raw material for PP strapping is polypropylene particles, and the weight directly determines the cost. The wider and thicker the width, the more materials are used per unit length, and the heavier the single roll, the higher the selling price; At the same time, the thickness and width will also affect the raw material ratio and production efficiency, further widening the price difference. 1.Core principle: The cross-sectional area determines the amount of material used per meter. Packing tape with approximately rectangular cross-section: At the same length, the larger the cross-sectional area, the more polypropylene raw materials are consumed and the higher the cost. 2.How Does Width Affect Price Alone (Fixed Thickness) When the thickness remains constant, for every increase in width by one step, the cross-section synchronously increases, and the unit weight increases: Narrowband 5/8/9mm: minimal material usage, lowest unit price, mostly used for e-commerce light goods, low raw material cost; Mainstream 12/13mm: Commonly used in the market, with large production capacity, moderate mass production costs, and moderate wholesale prices; Widening by 16/19mm: specifically designed for heavy-duty use, with a significant increase in material usage per meter, resulting in high raw material consumption and significantly higher unit prices; 3.How...
