Weigh, price, and band in one process
SmartBand™ technology turns banding into a weigh price labeling solution.
With an integrated scale system and printer, Bandall banding machines can weigh products, calculate the required data, and print weight, price, and barcode directly onto 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 weighed.
Step 2: The corresponding weight, price, and barcode are generated.
Step 3: The generated data is printed onto the banding material and 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 visual clutter. All the data you need front and centre
Barcode placed at the bottom
SmartBand™ prints the barcode to the back of the product, where it is easy to scan and find.
Packagers can keep the front side of the band clear for branding, product information, and shelf impact, while the barcode remains exactly where it needs to be.
Branding and labeling combined
With SmartBand™ technology, branding, labeling, and efficiency come together in one integrated process.
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.
A linerless solution
SmartBand™ brings weigh, price, and labeling together in a linerless process.
Because the banding material is adhesive-free, it requires no backing liner. That means no liner waste and fewer packaging materials, while branding, labeling, and variable product data are combined in one efficient step.
Less waste. Fewer materials. Better efficiency.
Frequently asked questions
What is weigh price labeling?
Weigh price labeling is an automated packaging process that weighs a product and prints weight-related information directly onto a label or packaging material. Depending on the application, this can include the product weight, price per unit, total price, barcode, batch information, or other variable product data.
It is commonly used for variable-weight products such as meat, fish, cheese, fresh produce, and other food products where the weight and price can differ from one package to another.
Can banding replace a traditional weigh price label?
Yes. Banding can replace a traditional weigh price label by printing variable product information directly onto the banding material.
Are barcodes and QR codes scannable on banding material?
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 banding material?
Yes, although generally the weight-related data is printed on the "front" and the corresponding barcode is printed on the "back".
