The most elite form of bundling, banding is used to showcase products and protect delicate, high-end materials. An alternative to strapping, adhesive labeling and chipboard sleeving, banding uses wide but thin material to keep a strong hold on products without causing damage.
Additional benefits include:
- Easy removal without tools
- Live, inline printing
- Vibrant, stunning graphics on pre-printed material
- Large selection of material & machine options
- Reduced material usage
- Energy efficiency
Whether you’re just getting started with banding or need a robust plastic strap machine for your advanced packaging line, we have systems from table-top to fully-automatic paper and plastic banding machines that can accommodate your application.
PAPER BANDING MACHINES
What is Paper Banding?
Paper banding
is the best bundling option to showcase products and protect delicate, high-end materials. An alternative to strapping, banding uses wide but thin material to keep a strong hold on products without causing damage.
Paper banding is very similar to pressure sensitive labels and chipboard sleeves, but includes some additional advantages:
- Easy removal without tools
- Live, inline printing
- Vibrant, stunning graphics on pre-printed material
- Large selection of material & machine options
- Minimal packing materials are required to unitize products with a narrow band rather than complete enclosure, with the added benefit of reduced carbon footprint
- Reduced labor requirements and minimal changeovers, thanks to automated technology that uses minimal floor space
- Energy efficiency, no heat (and subsequent cooling) required
- No need for adhesives; ultrasonic welding creates a fast & clean seal
What is a Paper Banding Machine?
A banding machine wraps the paper banding material (also known as adhesive-free labels or automatic paper sleeves) around each product or bundle of products, then cuts the band automatically. The resulting packaging is easy to remove without tools, and allows for integration of creative graphics, branding and decoration. Paper banding offers a sustainable solution for businesses looking for recyclable labels or pulpable packaging around their product. Our banding machines are capable of running both paper banding and plastic banding so that you can have the flexibility you need for your projects. See our banding machine models below.
PLASTIC BANDING
What is Plastic Banding?
Plastic banding has most of the same benefits and applications as paper banding, with some differences. Plastic banding is a common solution for companies in the Food, Healthcare, Manufacturing, E-commerce, and Pharmaceutical industries.
What is a Plastic Banding Machine?
A plastic banding machine wraps the banding material, either plastic film or ribbon material, around each product or bundle of products then cuts the band automatically. Plastic banding is great for products that could be stored in a moist environment such as a refrigerator or freezer, projects that require a premium label for vibrant graphics, brand marketing, or informational details such as nutrition information or company information. Our banding machines are capable of running both paper banding and plastic banding so that you can have the flexibility you need for your projects. See our banding machine models below.
