I need to tightly wrap a 27inch x 16inch box with bungee cords. What size bungee i cord would you recommend? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
The best way to secure a box is to use a ratcheting strap like # EM31350 since these straps can tighten down to the exact length you need for the dimensions of your cargo, thanks to their ratcheting mechanism. Unlike bungee cords that stretch these straps are non-elastic which means that they will hold your carton more securely than any bungee cord can.
We also offer handy sets like # EM05710 (a set of 2) and # EM31352 (a set of 4) if you need more than one.
