Print and band
More information. Less complexity.
Replace traditional labels with printed banding material that can communicate both pre-printed product information and variable data in a single solution.
The result? Less packaging, less complexity, and a more efficient labeling process.
How does labeling with banding work?
Labeling with banding combines preprinted product information with variable data printing on a single band. During the banding process, product-specific information, such as barcodes, weight, and price, can be added directly to the band.
The result? A single solution that combines labeling, variable data printing, and branding while reducing packaging complexity.
Why choose labeling with banding?
Combine banding and real-time printing
Print variable data directly onto the band during banding.
Eliminate adhesive labels
Remove the need for separate labels, adhesives, and liner materials.
Reduce packaging complexity
Combine branding or bundling with labeling in one streamlined operation.
Support sustainability goals
Use fewer materials and create less waste without compromising functionality.

Variable data printing
Need to add unique information to every product?
Banding systems can integrate directly with ERP, MES, weighing, and production management systems, allowing variable data to be printed onto the band as it is applied.
This ensures every product receives the correct information at exactly the right moment.
Integrated weighing and price labeling
For products sold by weight, SmartBand™ technology can automatically generate and print weight-based information during the packaging process.
As products are weighed, data such as weight, price, and corresponding barcodes can be calculated and printed directly onto the band in real time.
The result? Accurate price labeling in a single streamlined process.
