E-commerce Banding for Fulfilment
Solutions for tamper evident and sustainable packaging
Banding can be used in e-commerce on different fronts. Think of using it as a seal for the tamper evident sealing of packages. Or think of the bundling of several products, so an outer box requires less filling material. A printed band provides additional options for a brand experience and/or product information.
Where e-commerce banding replaces the box
E-commerce banding holds an order together without putting it in a carton. Two or three items that would otherwise go in a box with void fill leave the line as one banded bundle, and the shipping data goes straight onto the band as it is applied.
The saving shows up in three places at once: less corrugated board bought, no air freight paid for on void fill, and a smaller parcel at the courier’s dimensional weight calculation. For fulfilment operations shipping thousands of multi-item orders a week, that is the whole case.
Returns get easier too. The customer breaks one band instead of cutting tape, and the products underneath are undamaged and ready to go back on the shelf if the order comes back.
Warehouse despatch and foam-protected items follow the same principle.
Sustainable and flexible
Banding in e-commerce leads to material and cost savings. For example, a pre-printed band is much more flexible than a pre-printed cardboard box. Variable information can easily be printed on the band during the banding process. As a result, you are not restricted to box or label designs, on which information cannot be changed. When it comes to the banding material, you can choose between various sustainable options, such as the recently developed ECO.BANDING. This is a Kraft paper band that can be disposed of as used paper.
Band as an information carrier
A band made of paper or film can easily be printed on. This makes a band a good information carrier. Ideal for brand related communication, a promotional message and/or Track & Trace information. As the band wraps 360 degrees around your product, it creates a seal and label in one.
Various band widths, one machine
You can choose from banding material in various widths, ranging from 28 to 125 mm. The Multi-Width option allows you to process multiple band widths on one machine. Simply adjust the arch, and you can continue with a different band width.
Bandall banding machines are available as Stand Alone versions as well as fully automated (customized) versions. Get in touch to discuss your options!
Band very large packages
The advanced band feed-through system of the Bandall machines makes it possible to band large packages or boxes. Arch widths of 1500 mm and arch heights of 1600 mm are no exception. Bandall is still the only producer in the world who is able to do this, without affecting quality and performance.
