What is banded packaging

Smart, sustainable, and efficient

Banded packaging is a modern, efficient, and sustainable packaging method where one or more products are wrapped with a narrow band made of paper or film.

This versatile solution securely holds items together, ideal for bundling, and offers unique branding capabilities using minimal material.

How banded packaging works

Banded packaging is produced using specialized banding machines that wraps and seals band material around product(s) quickly and consistently.

The process typically follows three steps:

  1. Product placement - Products are positioned in the banding machine manually or automatically.
  2. Band application - Paper or film banding material is wrapped around the product and sealed at the ideal tension.
  3. Finished packaging - The finished package is released, ready for handling, display, or transport.

This reliable process creates neatly packed products without bulky or wasteful packaging.

Why choose banded packaging

Better Sustainability - Using a single narrow band reduces material use dramatically, helping brands meet sustainability goals and reduce waste.

Reduced Packaging Costs - Less material and simpler machine processes mean lower packaging costs, reduced energy use, and faster throughput on the production line.

Strong Branding Opportunities - Banded packaging can be printed with logos, colors, or messaging that reinforces your brand identity in a clean and premium way.

Compact and Efficient Packaging - Bands keep products secure without adding bulk, improving storage efficiency, and reducing transport cost.

Banded packaging vs traditional solutions

Banded packaging vs shrink wrap: Bands use far less material and energy, resulting in lighter packaging with less waste.

Banded packaging vs sleeves: Banded packaging uses a minimal band to brand products without covering the product.

Banded packaging vs adhesive labels: Banded packaging requires no adhesives and offers a more versatile branding and sealing solution.

Banding material

When it comes to banded packaging, the material you choose can make all the difference in both functionality and customer experience. We offer two material options:

  • Paper: Easily recyclable, 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 requirements.

The need for smarter, sustainable packaging

New regulations such as the European PPWR are pushing companies to reduce packaging waste, improve recyclability, and use fewer materials. Traditional packaging methods are no longer sufficient to meet these requirements.

How banded packaging supports modern packaging regulations:

  • Significantly reduces packaging material usage
  • Supports a circular economy through mono material packaging
  • Enables easy recycling without separating components
  • Uses material made from sustainable paper or recyclable film
