IT’S TIME FOR A NEW GREEN

Because of the great success of our new TYCOON® XTend product line, we decided to take a few already proven character-
istics (e.g. improved splitting behavior) and incorporate them into our entire PET portfolio. The formulas have been modified to
contain our patented additive, further improving the characteristics of the strapping. The visible sign for this development is
our new opaque green (OGN).

✔ features low maintenance and trouble-free strapping processes ✔ is the economically and technically best solution for your application

✔ offers reliable protection of your packaged goods ✔ offers a smart supply management (from order placement to delivery)

PET strapping replaces steel

With small manufacturing tolerances, consistently high quality and high breaking strength, our TYCOON® polyester strapping ensures smooth processing
on fully automatic strapping machines and hand tools. In many applications, our PET strapping is suited to replace steel strapping and offers the following
advantages over conventional steel strapping:
SHOCK RESERVE
Dynamic loads caused, for example, by vibrations, by moving the goods several times or by reloading pallets will considerably

TYCOON® HighTension is suited for applications that require high strapping tension and where there exists an elevated risk
of shock splitting (e.g. in the wood and timber industry). Furthermore, it is suited for sharp-edged products encountered, for
example, in the metal or building supplies segments. Consequently, it guarantees trouble-free manufacturing processes on fully
automatic strapping machines.

Benefits of TYCOON® High Tension:

HQ PRINTING SOLUTIONS – HQ DIGITAL

MULTIFUNCTIONAL STRAPPING HQ Digital allows you to print customized designs on your PP or PET strapping in
one or several colors. There are virtually no limits to designing the layout. Logos
in your company colors (whether in 2, 3, or more colors) and multicolored illustra-
tions, photos, or serial numbers – you name it, we got it. Our printing technology is
unparalleled in the market and also constitutes a great way to stand out from your
competitors. HQ Digital is particularly suited for small quantities from 24 coils on up
Using printed strapping from TEUFELBERGER even allows you to brand your goods for transport. This way, you can convey in order to convey seasonal advertising messages or information about special offers.
your marketing messages to the general public. Apart from printed brand logos, printed polyester or polypropylene strapping
can also feature proof-of-origin information for the foodstuffs industry. Furthermore, it is used as a means to prevent theft while
the goods are transported to shops but also in the shops themselves.

Our HQ Printing solution will convince you

✔ Your individual message on the strap - customize your own strapping

HQ MONO
✔ Theft protection - protect your product against counterfeiting and theft
✔ Proof of origin - indicate where your products are coming from, and make sure that their quality can be easily identified

In order to best cater to the different needs of customers, we offer you three options for printing information on strapping.

We developed HQ Mono specifically for medium-sized and large PP quantities,

where customers want single-color printing. Thus, our customers not only protect
their products (theft protection and proof of origin), but also convey an advertising
message.

HQ INKJET
This technology is particularly suited for customers who want to provide large
quantities of strapping with simple marks or running numbers. HQ Inkjet technology
makes it possible to print black text or numbers onto PET strapping. In this seg-
ment, we also offer AAR (Association of American Railways) approved strapping.
This polyester strapping was certified and approved by an external organization
specifically for open top rail transport in the U.S.
