Unitised commodities include paper, pulp, plywood, hardboard, lumber, aluminium, lead, steel pipes and many more.

The process of unitising consists of strapping together individual bales or bundles into a unit, utilising USLM steelstrap. This combines the strapping function to keep the bundles or bales together with the lifting function normally provided by steel wire or man-made fibre slings, and greatly improves production and cargo care. Unit weights range from 1 mt for pulp up to 28 mt for aluminium superpacks.
