In this study a composite of betel nut fibers was made with variations in volume fractions of 4%, 5% and 6% with horizontal, vertical and random fiber direction. Pull testing is done to determine the elasticity of composites to normal loads while impact testing is done to determine the strength of the material from the shock load. The results of the tensile test obtained a maximum tensile strength value at a fiber volume fraction of 4% with a vertical fiber direction of 36.3 Mpa while for the minimum tensile strength value at a fiber volume fraction of 6% with a horizontal fiber direction of 12.53 Mpa. The results of the impact test obtained a maximum impact strength value at a fiber volume fraction of 4% with a vertical fiber direction of 28.92 kJ/m² while for the minimum impact strength value at the fiber volume fraction of 6% with a horizontal fiber direction of 12.59 kJ/m².
