Banding

Banding is a packaging technology process in which a single layer of film is wrapped around a load unit and sealed in a taut state. This process is particularly suitable for load units with a constant height or width, as the film can be adjusted accordingly to ensure secure wrapping.

The banding process begins with the load unit to be packaged being placed on a platform provided for this purpose. A film is then wrapped around the load unit and stretched tightly. The film can be made of various materials such as plastic or paper and can be transparent or printed, depending on requirements. Once the film has been wrapped around the load unit, it is heat or pressure-welded to the sides or underside to ensure a secure seal.

Banding offers various advantages, including efficient securing of load units during transportation or storage. The tight wrapping increases the stability of the load unit and ensures safe transportation. In addition, the film can be printed with individual information or markings to facilitate the identification and traceability of the packaged products.

The banding process is used in various industries and applications, including the food industry, logistics, pharmaceuticals and retail. It is particularly suitable for packaging products that have a consistent shape and size, such as beverage cartons, books, magazines or electronic items.

Overall, banding is an effective packaging process that enables secure and attractive wrapping of load units and helps to secure and label products in various industries.
