Weigh, price, and label
SmartBand™ banding technology makes weighing, pricing, and labeling easier than ever.
With an integrated weight scale system and printer, banding machines now offer the ability to add weight and product related data to the banding material during application.
One band. One process. All your data in one place.
How SmartBand™ Works
SmartBand™ combines weighing, data generation, printing, and banding into a single automated process.
Step 1: The product is placed on the digital scale and is weighed.
Step 2: Based on the measured weight, the system calculates and generates the required information, such as weight, price, and barcode.
Step 3: The data is printed onto the banding material and is applied to the product.
Weight and price on top
Show the information that matters most, right on top of the band.
SmartBand™ lets you print weight, price and other key product data directly onto the band. Clear, visible and easy to read.
No extra label. No visual clutter. All the data you need, integrated into the band.
Barcode placed at the bottom
SmartBand™ moves the barcode to the bottom of the product, where it is easy to scan but does not interrupt the look of the packaging.
Packagers can keep the visible side of the band clear for branding, product information and shelf impact, while the barcode remains exactly where it needs to be.
No separate labeling
With SmartBand™ banding technology, branding, labeling, and efficiency come together in one integrated prorcess.
By simply combining banding and labeling in one process, packagers can reduce separate labeling steps, simplify the packing line and create a cleaner final product.
Brand. Label. Band. All in one.
Ideal applications
SmartBand™ is designed for products where every gram matters.
From meat and fish to fresh produce and convenience meals, it helps packagers weigh, price and label in one smooth process.
Accurate data. Clear presentation. Efficient labeling.
Frequently asked questions
Can a band replace a traditional weigh price label?
Yes. Variable information such as weight, price, barcode data, and expiration dates can be printed directly onto the band, allowing it to function as the primary product label.
Are barcodes and QR codes scannable on bands?
Yes. High quality printing technologies ensure reliable barcode and QR code readability throughout the supply chain.
Is banding suitable for fresh food products?
Absolutely. Banding is widely used for meat, poultry, seafood, produce, and bakery applications.
Can banding reduce packaging costs?
In many applications, yes. Banding can replace multiple packaging components and reduce label material consumption.
Can i print anywhere on the band?
In many cases, yes, but the design of the band ultimately determines where variable data can be printed.
