FAQs

Are these seals suitable for plastic strapping?

These seals are specifically designed for metal banding; they may not provide a secure grip on plastic or polyester strapping.

How many seals come in a box?

Each box contains 2000 seals.

Can I use a different brand of strapping tool?

While other tools may work, the seals are specifically engineered for the Ambassador Combination strapping tool to ensure a consistent, safe hold.

Are these seals weather-resistant?

The seals are made from durable metal, but they should be kept dry to prevent surface oxidation.

What is the primary material of these seals?

They are constructed from high-tensile steel designed to hold heavy tension.

Troubleshooting

Seal slips after crimping

Ensure the strapping is free of oils or lubricants and verify that the combination tool is adjusted to provide sufficient crimping pressure.

Seal does not fit over the strap

Confirm that the strapping width is exactly 12mm and that you are not accidentally using a 15mm or 19mm strapping size.

Tool struggles to crimp the seal

Check the Ambassador Combination tool for debris or worn jaws that may prevent a complete seal closure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-volume 2000 count pack provides excellent value for large operations
  • Open design speeds up the application process in fast-paced environments
  • Engineered for high-tensile strength to prevent load failure
  • Compatible with industry-standard 12mm strapping materials

Cons

  • Requires the specific Ambassador Combination tool for optimal results
  • Metal edges require caution during manual handling to avoid cuts
  • Not intended for use with plastic-only tensioning systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure maximum security, verify that you are using 12mm wide steel or appropriate metal strapping. Before application, ensure that the strapping surface is free from excessive oil or debris, as this can lead to seal slippage. When using the Ambassador Combination strapping tool, perform a test crimp on a scrap piece of strapping to ensure the tool jaws are aligned and applying even pressure. Store the seals in a dry, climate-controlled area; exposure to humidity over extended periods can lead to surface oxidation, which may degrade the long-term finish, though the structural integrity usually remains unaffected.
