Banding is an alternative to packaging technologies such as shrinking in plastic, strapping or gluing, states an article on Packagingeurope.com. As primary or secondary packaging, a band made of paper or high-quality film either holds several products together or serves as final packaging for individual products. Because bands can be printed on both sides beforehand and can be provided with additional information during banding, they are simultaneously image, advertising, and information carriers. Thanks to the large variety of band widths, banderoles can also be used, for example, for recipes or the illustration of operating instructions.
