Industrial Carbide regularly keeps several truckloads of steel banding in stock. Whether you need a roll, a skid, or
multiple pallets, we can offer the best price on the widest assortment of sizes and styles of steel strapping material.
We offer "A" grade, prime material (consistent gauge or thickness and excellent paint coverage) as well as
"B" grade, seconds (potentially inconsistent gauge or thickness and paint coverage). We offer Regular Duty,
Hi-Tensile, and in-between alternatives. You can choose from black painted and waxed strapping, unpainted, zinc-coated, or
galvanized banding. We offer stainless steel banding and punched / perforated strapping; and most of
these come in ribbon wound or oscillated wound coils. See the chart below for steel strap specifications, with the
best sellers noted by the gray background. Please note that we price strapping by the pound, and a typical roll weighs
95-110 pounds; a skid usually has 12 rolls and weighs around 1200 pounds. Due to current market conditions, prices and
availability cannot be published. Prices are high, and inventory on popular sizes is low. We are doing everything we can
to make product available, but lead times continue to rise with prices. We are sorry for these circumstances.

We offer great shipping rates throughout the country, and we may be able to deliver with our company trucks,
saving you even more! Don't forget to check out the tools and seals we offer for use with
the strapping you choose. If you're not sure whether steel or plastic is the right banding
for you, see our strap comparison chart below. Call us with your application, and we'll help you determine which
is the most cost-effective option, because you use strapping by the foot, but you pay by the roll or pound.
