Banding material
The right material makes the difference
A banding solution is only as effective as the material behind it.
We offer a range of high-quality banding materials engineered to help you conduct efficient, sustainable, and high-impact bundling and branding.
What is banding material?
Banding material is the paper or film applied around a product or bundle using a banding machine. It seals, groups, or brands products in a clean and material-efficient way.
Banding materials are typically available in:
Each offers distinct advantages depending on your product, production environment, and sustainability goals.
How to choose the right banding material
Selecting the correct banding material depends on your packaging objectives.
Key considerations include:
- Product weight and stability requirements
- Branding and print needs
- Environmental exposure, such as moisture or cold storage
- Recycling considerations
The right material should strike a balance between performance, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.

Frequently asked questions
Can printed banding materials be used for branding?
Yes. Printed paper banderols can display branding, product information, barcodes, promotions and variable data directly on the banding material.
Can variable data be printed on banding materials?
Yes. Variable data such as barcodes, batch numbers, expiration dates, and product information can be printed directly onto the banding material.
How is the banding material sealed?
Bandall banding machines use a heat-sealing mechanism to seal the material, which is then automatically cut from the roll.
Is banding material fully recyclable?
Yes. Both our paper and film banding materials are fully recyclable.
How does banding material support sustainable packaging?
Banding materials support sustainable packaging by reducing unnecessary packaging components, lowering material usage and enabling recyclable packaging solutions for a wide range of industries.
Are different band widths available?
Yes. Banding materials are available in multiple widths, depending on product dimensions, branding requirements, and packaging applications.
How long does it take to change a roll of banding material?
Changing a roll of material is simple and usually takes less than 30 seconds.
