Food packaging with bands

Bundle and label food products while reducing packaging material

ATS-Tanner develops banding solutions for the food industry. Paper or film bands can be used to bundle products, secure packaging and clearly display product information. These solutions are suitable for ready meals and bowls, fruit and vegetables, meat and sausages, fish and seafood, as well as pastries and baked goods. Depending on the application, a band can replace additional outer packaging or labels.

Frequently Asked Questions about Food Packaging

Bands are a flexible food packaging solution for a wide range of products – from baked goods and seafood to meat and fresh produce like asparagus or bananas. Both delicate fresh products and processed foods can be bundled efficiently or securely sealed.
Banding holds individual items just as reliably as multipacks. It also securely seals primary packaging such as meal trays (ready meals), sushi boxes or meat trays with tamper evidence – without applying heat to chilled products.

Branding, EAN/QR codes, nutritional information and origin details. Variable data such as best-before dates or batch numbers can be printed dynamically “just-in-time” during the packaging process.

Yes. Special paper and film materials are moisture-resistant and tear-proof. Since ultrasonic sealing works mechanically, the closure remains stable even at low temperatures or with condensation in the cold chain.

The machines are modular in design and can be seamlessly integrated into existing filling and packaging lines. Via digital interfaces, they communicate with upstream and downstream systems to synchronise throughput.

In many cases, yes. For fruit, vegetables and multipacks, a paper band can replace plastic film completely. For meat or ready meals, it significantly reduces plastic use by replacing heavy lids or sleeves with a minimal material solution.
