Rust-Proof, Elastic Cargo Securing for FCL, LCL & Breakbulk Ocean Transit
Ocean freight subjects every cargo securing component to sustained combined mechanical and environmental stress — high humidity, continuous condensation cycles, and transit durations of 20 to 45 days. Steel banding corrodes rapidly in this environment, contaminating cargo surfaces, weakening joint integrity, and generating insurance disputes and cargo rejection at destination ports. Pack Strap™ composite cord strap from Shivoham Fabtech is completely impervious to moisture, salt air, and condensation — its all-polymer construction cannot corrode, cannot weaken in wet conditions, and cannot contaminate any cargo surface throughout the full duration of any ocean voyage.
The Engineering Challenges We Solve
Steel banding fails across three critical dimensions in export packaging and ocean freight operations. Shivoham Fabtech manufactures Pack Strap™ to resolve each – providing a technically reliable, rust-proof, and elastic cargo securing system for FCL, LCL, flat-rack, and breakbulk freight from Indian ports.
Steel Banding Corrosion in Marine Container Environments
Humidity inside ocean containers causes steel banding to begin corroding within the first days of a voyage. Rust transfers directly to cargo surfaces – permanently staining finished goods, machinery, timber products, and components packed in contact with banding. This generates cargo rejection, warranty claims, and complex cross-border insurance disputes. Pack Strap™’s polymer construction is chemically inert and impervious to any level of marine humidity – eliminating this failure mode entirely.
Strap Tension Loss During Long-Haul Ocean Voyages
Cargo compresses, settles, and shifts during multi-week ocean transits. Steel banding is permanently inelastic — once cargo beneath it compresses, steel banding goes slack and cannot recover tension, leaving the load effectively unsecured for the remainder of the voyage. Pack Strap™’s elastic memory allows it to recover tension as cargo settles, maintaining consistent load security throughout the voyage without re-tensioning.
Cargo Surface Damage & Commercial Disputes at Destination
Corroded steel banding causes rust staining, surface gouging, and contamination of adjacent cargo in LCL consolidation loads – generating destination inspection failures and commercial claims that are costly to resolve across international jurisdictions. Pack Strap™’s non-marking, non-corroding surface prevents cargo contamination at every stage of the export supply chain from packing to final delivery.
