How does bundling with banding work?
Bundling with banding involves wrapping banding material around a group of products and sealing it at optimal tension.
The material acts as a secure band around the products, holding them together while using only the material needed to create a stable bundle.
The result? An efficient bundling solution that supports sustainable processes, improves handling, and reduces waste.
Why companies choose banding for bundling
Reduce packaging waste
Banding supports sustainability by creating little waste.
Add information directly to the band
Combine bundling and variable data printing to add price, QR codes, and more.
Create secure and stable bundles
Consistent tension creates stable, secure bundles without overpackaging or product damage.
Reduce operational costs
Compact bundles help reduce storage space and transportation expenses.
A smarter alternative to shrink wrap and bulky packaging
Traditional bundling methods often rely on large amounts of packaging material to group products together.
Banding uses only what is necessary to secure the bundle, making it an efficient alternative for companies looking to reduce packaging material, simplify operations, and improve sustainability efforts.
Easy handling throughout the supply chain
Banded bundles are compact, stable, and easy to handle from start to finish.
Benefits include:
- Efficient stacking and storage
- Improved handling during storage
- Fast and clean packaging removal
- Less waste for end users
By simplifying packaging, banding makes life easier for manufacturers, retailers, and consumers alike.
Combine bundling and labeling
Banding can do more than hold products together.
With integrated printing technology, data can be printed directly onto the band during the bundling process including:
- Names & dates
- Barcodes & QR codes
- Batch numbers
- Retailer-specific information
This allows companies to combine bundling, labeling, and product communication in one efficient process.
A more sustainable way to bundle products
Reducing packaging material is one of the simplest ways to lower environmental impact.
Bundling supports sustainability goals by using less material, generating less waste, being adhesive-free, and simplifying packaging structures without sacrificing performance or reliability.
Every bundle becomes an opportunity to reduce resource consumption while maintaining operational efficiency.
Suitable for many product types
Banding is a flexible bundling solution for products in many shapes, sizes and industries.
It can be used for:
- Folded textiles
- Labels and graphic
- Boxes and cartons
- Food packaging
- Pharmaceutical and cosmetic packaging
From small packs to larger stacks, banding adapts to different product formats without adding unnecessary packaging complexity.
Frequently asked questions
What is bundling by banding?
Bundling by banding is a packaging method where paper or film banding material is applied around products to hold them securely together. It is used to create stable bundles while reducing packaging material compared to shrink wrap, boxes, or sleeves.
What products can be bundled with banding?
Banding can be used for food products, textiles, laundry, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and labels/in-mold labels.
Is banding an alternative to shrink wrap?
Yes. Banding is an efficient alternative to shrink wrap for many bundling applications. It uses significantly less packaging material and plastic overall.
Does banding use less energy than shrink wrapping?
Yes. Banding does not require heat tunnels, making it a more energy efficient alternative to shrink wrapping in many packaging applications.
How does banding reduce packaging waste?
Banding reduces packaging waste by using only a narrow paper or film band instead of fully wrapping the product. This helps lower material usage and simplifies disposal for the end user.
