rundsling vs. bandsling/bandstropp
Explanation:
Web slings are a little stiffer than round slings and tend to have a wider surface area as you go up to bigger working loads. Having a wide flat surface area reduces the amount of force on one given point. We see these used for more delicate loads such as items made from fibreglass.2 okt. 2018

roundsling = rundsling. Round in shape
webbing sling = bandsling or bandstropp.

You can further google the terms to verify if you like to.

Use "bandsling" if it´s a flat, wide band with no "loops" at the ends.
Use "bandstropp" if it´s a flat, wide band with "loops" at the ends.

In regards to what general term you should use ... well. The SE, trustworthy site uses "Mjuka lyftredskap" and then there are a variety of "stropp/sling". Perhaps mjuka lyftredskap would work?
