| Vertical (or front action) sealers have upright handles perpendicular to the strapping so they are easy to operate either vertically or horizontally. Regular duty strapping is usually sealed with vertical sealers. Vertical sealers such as the MIP 1152 are also used with heavy duty strapping when sealing in confined areas. |

| Heavy duty strapping is usually sealed with horizontal (also known as side action) sealers. The lower handle can be rested on the floor or package to create more leverage. This type of sealer is also useful if a joint is being made on a high overhead strap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The strength of a strapping application is only as strong as the joint holding the two strap ends together. |

| A downcut is used for conventional (non-pusher) applications. |
For instances where the seal is flush against the package an upcut is used so as not to damage the package. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Steel strapping sealers may create two simultaneous notches, or a double notch, for fast operation and high joint efficiency. There must be sufficient room for the arc swing of the longer handles on a double notch sealer. |
A single notch tool may be used where strap thickness makes two simultaneous notches difficult. |
