INTRODUCING THE FUTURE OF CORRUGATED BUNDLING: ULTRASONIC BANDING
Is strapping damaging your product? Are you boxing boxes? Are you using excess labor or materials to package your products? Felins offers banding equipment and consumable materials in the corrugate, packaging and e-commerce industries. Felins’ corrugated packaging machine is designed with one important goal in mind: to optimize product bundling to save both you and your customers time and money. Banding works well to secure boxes, unitize cartons, bundle packaging tubes, and more.
Why ultrasonic banding? We focus on banding solutions which unitize with minimal packaging materials to reduce our customers’ carbon footprint and packaging costs. While it is common to use narrow, rigid plastic straps to bundle corrugate and printed stacks, this leads to damaged edges on the top and bottom pieces of the product, creating waste and increase production costs. Our corrugate packaging equipment provides a clean solution, with zero damage to the product and a material that is easily recyclable.
Benefits of banding with cardboard machinery include:
- Eliminate Product Damage: High quality printed corrugated stacks can be bundled without damaging the edges.
- Increase Throughput: Seamless production integration with automatic stacking, banding, and band changing. Up to 22 bands per minute.
- Increase Labor Savings: Our equipment ranges from semi-automated stand-alone machines to fully automated systems. Our systems can create perfectly aligned stacks, thanks to the automatic alignment on all sides of the banding machine. We can help define the appropriate solution for your budget and production volumes.
- Decrease Inefficiencies: Reduce manual applications, less overruns of high quality printed corrugated products to compensate for strap damage.
Corrugated Industry FAQs
How can we prevent damage (corner crush) to our corrugated sheets or boxes caused by tight plastic strapping during bundling?
Banding, especially with wider paper or plastic bands, distributes tension more evenly than narrow strapping, significantly reducing the risk of corner crush and edge damage on corrugated products. Tension levels can be precisely controlled for optimal security without damage.
We need an efficient way to unitize stacks of die-cut blanks or folded cartons coming off converting lines.
Automated banding systems can be integrated inline or used offline to quickly unitize stacks of corrugated materials. They offer higher speeds and greater consistency than manual strapping or wrapping, improving workflow efficiency.
Is there a more sustainable alternative to plastic strapping for bundling our corrugated products?
Yes, paper banding is a fully recyclable and sustainable alternative to plastic strapping for many corrugated bundling applications. It provides sufficient strength for unitizing while aligning with environmental goals and customer preferences for reduced plastic.
