Post-press bundling for printed products
Are high packaging costs squeezing your margins? What if you could cut down on energy, material, and labor costs when bundling paper products?
Bands make it possible, it is the smart, sustainable alternative to shrink wrap, straps and boxes.
A more efficient way to bundle printed products
Banding keeps printed products stacked securely together without fully wrapping the product. This makes it easy to create consistent bundles while reducing material usage.
Use banding to:
- Secure stacks in defined quantities
- Reduce unnecessary packaging material
- Avoid heat and adhesive residue
- Handle different sizes and formats
- Prepare products for storage, transport, or delivery
Brochures and leaflets
Create neat bundles of folded brochures, flyers and leaflets after printing and finishing.
A narrow band keeps each stack together without covering the design or adding unnecessary packaging. This makes the bundles easy to count, handle and distribute.
Catalogues, magazines and booklets
Bundle stitched, folded or bound printed products in consistent quantities.
Banding helps keep stacks aligned and secure while reducing the risk of loose products during internal handling, storage or shipping.
Greeting cards and postcards
Create uniform packs of greeting cards, postcards, invitations and other card products.
Banding keeps the cards neatly grouped without damaging the printed surface or fully enclosing the product.
Labels and printed sleeves
Bundle stacks of cut labels, can labels, sleeves and other printed components.
Banding helps keep stacks together after cutting, punching or finishing and makes them easier to move into the next stage of production or packing.
Books, stationery and other printed products
Banding is also suitable for notebooks, envelopes, direct mail, inserts, manuals and other paper-based products.
The solution can be adapted to different product dimensions, stack heights and production requirements.
Why use banding for post-press bundling?
Use less packaging: A narrow band secures the bundle only where needed.
Avoid heat: Banding does not require a heat tunnel.
Protect printed surfaces: Banding secures the stack without adhesives coming into direct contact with the product.
Handle changing formats: Banding provides the flexibility to switch between products and bundle sizes without completely changing the packaging method.
An alternative to shrink wrapping printed products
Instead of fully enclosing the stack, a paper or film band secures the products while leaving them visible and easy to handle.
This can help you:
- Reduce plastic use
- Eliminate the need for heat
- Shorten changeovers
- Use less material per bundle
- Create a cleaner post-press process
Flexible integration into your process
Add banding where it fits your process: directly in-line, at the end of the line, or as a separate stand-alone station. Choose the setup that matches your workflow, space, and level of automation.
