Banding paper
Paper bands are sure to hold your product together. At the same time, banding paper can be easily opened anywhere. Bands made from high-quality paper can be printed exactly as you require – just like film bands: printed in advance for a maximum promotional effect through Branding with Banding or printed with specific product information during banding – or both combined.
Our paper bands are also available FSC certified.
Banding paper - Material overview, attributes and application examples
Material attributes
PW is a bleached, paper that is coated on one or both sides with a thin layer of PP, depending on the banding technology used. PW provides a very good print image in flexographic printing. It is also very well suited for just-in-time printing using thermal transfer printing. The paper used for PW is made from 100% fresh fibers. PW is considered a mono-material in most countries and can be recycled in the paper stream. PW is also available with FSC label. Partially coated paper is generally used for applications where the bands must not contain more than 5% foreign material.

Material attributes
PB is an unbleached, uncoated force paper, which is coated on one or both sides with a thin layer of PP, depending on the banding technology used. PB is rarely printed using the flexographic printing process, but provides a good print image. It is also well suited for just-in-time printing using thermal transfer printing. The paper used for PB is made from 100% fresh fibers. In most countries, PB is considered a mono-material and can be recycled in the paper or cardboard stream. PB is also available with FSC label. Partially coated paper is generally used for applications where the banderoles must not contain more than 5% foreign material.
- Available in widths from 20 mm to 100 mm.
- Available in grammages from 80 g/m2 to 120 g/m2.
- Can be printed with up to 10 colors in flexographic printing process.
- Suitable for banding machines with Ultra-Sonic and Heatseal technology.
- Force paper is the paper grade with the highest strength.
- Especially suitable for printing and manufacturing.

Material attributes
Partially coated paper (PW or PB) is only coated with a varnish at the point where the ultrasonic welding takes place. Partially coated paper provides a good print image in flexographic printing. It is also well suited for just-in-time printing using thermal transfer printing. The paper used for partially coated paper is made from 100% fresh fibers. The proportion of foreign material is less than 5 %. Partially coated paper is therefore considered a mono-material in all countries and can be recycled in the paper stream.
- Available in different widths and grammages. On request.
- Printable with up to 10 colors in flexo printing process.
- Suitable for banding machines with Ultra-Sonic and Heatseal technology.
- Especially suitable for applications where the plastic content of the packaging is to be reduced or completely eliminated.
