Manufacturing

An early rapstrap production mould

UK Production

All rapstraps are designed, developed & manufactured in the UK.

Rapstraps are injection moulded in the UK from a range of thermoplastic materials to suit different applications. Our standard products are produced from a premium polyurethane elastomer, but we can also make rapstraps from recycled and biodegradable compounds as well.

To simplify handling & packing, we produce our rapstraps in sheets of 5 or 6, which are easily split apart by simply tearing off the straps as required.

The use of automated robotic handling systems allow us to run 24-7 production, and our facilities can produce over half a million rapstraps per week.

Rapstrap prototype moulds

Continual R&D

By conducting our own in-house research & development, we are able to quickly produce new varieties of tie strips for many applications: from packaging to turkey farming.

Despite this flexibility, it has still taken a long time to develop our products, and we have literally produced hundreds of prototypes.

New versions are always in development, as are bespoke versions for specific situations. Our recent focus has been on biodegradable ties, and work in this area is continuing.
