MIP380 Tensioning Tool For Poly Strap
Description
Signode MIP-380 plastic strap tensioning tool
The Signode MIP-380 is a manual feedwheel tensioning tool for plastic strapping where you need higher tension and consistent hold. It is commonly used for securing cartons, bundles and pallet loads using polypropylene (PP), polyester (PET) or cord strapping.
If your strapping application needs a tighter pull and repeatable performance without powered equipment, the MIP-380 is a practical option for packing benches, dispatch areas and general warehouse use.
Where the MIP-380 is used
- General plastic strapping for cartons, bundles and pallet loads
- Applications using PP strap, PET strap, or cord strapping

Buying tips for plastic strapping tools
- Confirm strap width and thickness: Using strap within the recommended range helps the feedwheel grip properly and reduces slip.
- Choose tension level to suit the load: High-tension tools are useful when you need a tighter hold on heavier cartons or bundled products.
- Match the joining method: Depending on strap type and workflow, you may be using buckles, seals or another joining method to hold the tension once applied.
