This sector encompasses the production, distribution, and sale of automated systems designed to apply horizontal bands of plastic or steel around items, securing them for transport, storage, and unitizing. These machines are commonly employed across diverse industries, including warehousing, logistics, manufacturing, and e-commerce, to stabilize palletized goods, bundle products, and reinforce packaging. A typical example would be a manufacturer using this type of equipment to secure boxes of finished goods onto a pallet for shipping.
Automated horizontal banding offers several advantages. It enhances load stability, minimizing damage during transit and improving overall safety. Furthermore, it streamlines packaging processes, increasing efficiency and reducing labor costs. The rising demand for secure and efficient packaging solutions, coupled with the growth of e-commerce and global trade, has contributed significantly to the expansion of this industry sector. Historically, manual strapping methods prevailed, but the need for increased speed and consistency has driven the adoption of automated solutions.
