What is banding?

Smart, sustainable, and efficient packaging

Ever wondered what is banding? Banding is a packaging solution that wraps your product in a sleek and durable band. Perfect for branding, clear labeling, or bundling, banding offers versatility that other packaging methods can't.

How does banding work?

The magic of banding happens with specially designed banding machines. Here's how it works:

  1. Place your product - Depending on the machine type, products are placed inside the banding machine’s arch, either manually or automatically.
  2. The band wraps around - The banding arch guides a strip of paper or film around the product and seals it at optimal tension.
  3. Remove your product - The perfectly packaged product is manually or automatically removed from the arch.

Versatile applications for packaging

Banding is a solution that can do so much for your packaging including:

  • Labeling - Display essential product info with ease.
  • Bundling - Group multiple items together efficiently for transport.
  • Branding - Add custom designs, logos, or messaging to your packaging.
  • Sealing - Seal products with an optimally tensed band.

Banding material

When it comes to banding, the material you choose can make all the difference in both functionality and customer experience. We offer two material options, each designed to meet specific needs:

  • Paper: Easily recyclable, has minimal environmental footprint, and gives your product an eco-friendly look and feel.
  • Film: Delivers a sleek, premium appearance while offering enhanced durability for sturdier packaging.

The need for smarter, sustainable packaging

Packaging is undergoing a transformation. With regulations like the European PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) aiming to reduce waste and pollution, the industry can no longer operate as it once did.

Here’s how banding meets current packaging regulations:

  • Reduce packaging material usage significantly.
  • Supports a circular economy with mono packaging.
  • Recycle packaging with ease.
  • Use bands made from sustainable packaging materials.
