STRAPCO

STRAPCO, operating as Strapco Packaging Products, is a packaging equipment service and supply company based in Warrenville, Illinois, that repairs strapping tools and packaging machinery and sells strapping, stretch film and related materials. The company has been in business since 1983, serving customers nationally with packaging products and maintenance of steel and plastic strapping tools. Its repair work covers equipment from brands such as Signode, Fromm and Orgapack, with the stated aim of keeping customers' systems running and reducing downtime. Strapping tools tension and seal steel or plastic bands around palletised and bundled loads, so a failed tool can halt outbound shipping in a warehouse or plant.

STRAPCO describes a repair process in which each piece of equipment is fully disassembled, inspected and rebuilt to OEM specifications, and it says it does not offer temporary fixes, aiming instead to return equipment to like-new condition. Alongside repair, it sells preowned steel and plastic strapping tools from brands including Signode, Orgapack, Cyklop and Fromm, with a warranty on all used tools, as well as replacement batteries and chargers for battery-powered Fromm and Orgapack models. Combining refurbishment with used-tool sales gives buyers a lower-cost alternative to new equipment while keeping familiar tool platforms in service.

On the consumables side, the company is an exclusive distributor of Rapz steel and polyester strapping, stocking regular duty and high tensile steel in the Midwest along with AAR approved and non AAR approved polyester strapping. AAR approval refers to Association of American Railroads standards, which matter to shippers securing loads for rail transport. Its range also includes machine and hand grade stretch film shipped across the U.S., recyclable airpad cushioning for protective packaging, and stretch film machinery and hand tools.
