Film or paper?
Paper is a good replacement for film. Paper banding reduces the use of plastics in packaging. Ultimately, when deciding whether to use film or paper, the product is leading. That’s why at Bandall we say: paper when possible, film when necessary. Contact us to discuss which material suits your product best.
Film when necessary
Sometimes using a paper band, despite sustainability goals, is not the best solution. Paper is often more fragile and less strong than film. Film can be used to bundle heavier products without fear of the material ripping. Film is also considered to be the better choice for products stored in humid environments, such as a freezer or fridge. Finally, film offers more elasticity than paper, which is desirable for banding different products.
Paper when possible
National and international regulations regarding packaging materials are becoming increasingly strict. On top of that consumers’ demand for sustainability is increasing as well. And sometimes paper is even the only option. Think of packaging fruits and vegetables in France. A good example of a 100% recyclable paper band that follows all European guidelines is the ECO.BANDING®. This Kraft paper band with ECO.SEAL can be disposed of in the paper bin.
