Bundling corrugated boxes with banding
Secure corrugated bundles without damage
Stop crushed corners, strap marks, and unnecessary packaging.
Bandall banding machines secure corrugated boxes with a wide paper or film band applied at precisely controlled tension.
The result? A clean, stable bundle that stays together—without damage.
Are you ready to make the switch to banding?
Stack. Band. Repeat
How does banding cardboard boxes work?
The exact process depends on the system configuration, but a typical cycle consists of four steps:
- The corrugated products are stacked and positioned.
- The bundle is aligned or compressed where required.
- A paper or film band is fed around the stack, tensioned, and sealed.
- The finished bundle is removed manually or discharged automatically to the next process.
Why choose banding for corrugated boxes?
Protect corrugated edges and surfaces:
Bundle products securely without damaging edges or print.
Reduce packaging material:
Use less material to secure each bundle.
Improve handling and storage:
Create neat, stable stacks that are easier to move, store, and process.
Automate repetitive bundling work:
Benefit from fully automatic operation.
Damage free corrugated bundling
Keep corrugated products secure without crushing or marking them.
Banding solves damage to edges by applying the right amount of tension for the product and bundle format. This makes it especially useful when products need to arrive undamaged at the next stage.
Secure enough to hold. Gentle enough to protect.
Cross banding and multiple banding options
Choose the banding pattern that matches your bundle.
Some corrugated bundles only need one band. Others need more stability during handling, stacking, or transport. Banding machines can be configured for different patterns, including single banding, double banding, cross banding, or longitudinal banding.
This flexibility makes it possible to create the right level of bundle stability without using more material than needed.
Automate corrugated bundling
Improve consistency, speed, and handling at the end of the line.
Banding machines can be used as stand-alone units or integrated into automated corrugated production and packaging lines. Depending on your process, stacks can be positioned, compressed, aligned, banded, and discharged automatically.
A cleaner alternative to strapping
Secure corrugated bundles with less force and a cleaner presentation.
Strapping is often used to hold corrugated products together, but it can be too aggressive for delicate, printed, or lightweight products. Banding offers a more controlled bundling method that keeps stacks together while helping protect the product.
Less pressure. Less damage. A better-looking bundle.

Frequently asked questions
What is corrugated box banding?
Corrugated box banding is the process of applying a paper or film band around a stack of corrugated boxes, sheets, blanks or cartons. The band keeps the products together for handling, storage or downstream packaging.
Is banding an alternative to strapping corrugated boxes?
It can be an alternative in suitable applications. Wide banding may help reduce concentrated pressure on edges and printed surfaces, but the final choice must account for bundle weight, transport conditions and required load stability.
Can paper bands secure corrugated bundles?
Paper bands can secure many light and medium-duty corrugated bundles, and stronger paper materials are available for more demanding applications.
Can a corrugated banding machine be integrated into an existing line?
Yes. Many automatic banding systems can be integrated with conveyors, stackers, and other production equipment.
Will banding mark or crush corrugated boxes?
No. Banding material is softer and less rigid than strapping material and is applied at optimal tension, ensuring edges are not damaged.
