A strapping system using a novel buckle wherein one end portion of the buckle is attached to one end of a flat non-metallic strap, and the other end of the strap is threaded though the buckle in such a manner that the strap is held securely in place, and wherein the buckle is of a unitary structure comprising the attaching end portion and the threaded end portion in which are located two outer parallel legs and a center leg with two slots respectively therebetween, and with the walls of the slot closest to the attaching end being generally parallel to each other and positioned at an angle of between 45 DEG and up to less than 90 DEG as measured from the top or bottom surface of the buckle depending on the orientation of the walls of the slot. In another embodiment, instead of the strap being attached to the one end of the buckle, two sets of slots are formed by two sets of parallel outer legs and and other center leg, whereby both ends of the strap are threaded through respective slots in the two ends of the buckle.
