Sustainable and customer-friendly packaging for textiles
Paper bands replace plastic packaging and enable direct printing of logos, messages and codes.

From clothing such as shirts, pants or jackets to home textiles such as bed linen, towels or pillowcases to carpets and floor coverings: The up to 100 mm wide, printable bands made of paper or film hold textiles together securely and with a minimum of packaging material, labeling them in the same step if required.

Bundling textiles without plastic - with a minimum of packaging
Bands made of paper replace conventional packaging such as shrink wrap, plastic bags or plastic bags in laundries. Banding not only reduces packaging material to a minimum, but is also more efficient and flexible than the packaging mentioned. Handling the bands is also very easy for the recipients of the washed textiles: the bands can simply be opened by hand, generate very little waste and are returned to the raw material cycle via the paper collection.
Error-free operation and automated processes thanks to just-in-time centered printed codes
In laundries, individual codes ensure precise allocation of laundry to the respective customer and avoid errors. Information on the date of cleaning or the expected collection date also facilitates planning and coordination in the operational process. The automatic reading of these codes also supports efficient sorting and organization in the laundry, which saves time and minimizes the risk of mix-ups. Banding machines with integrated printers print codes onto the bands during the banding process. Built-in exhibition systems measure the length, width and height of the stacks and adjust the print position just-in-time to the circumference of the stacks. The result: the codes are always placed where they are needed for further processing, regardless of the size of the stacks.
Banding machines with ultrasonic sealing technology from ATS reduce energy consumption
Energy consumption is a major cost driver in laundries, as the operation of washing machines, dryers and ironers requires high water and energy consumption. Banding machines with ultrasonic sealing technology are the most energy-efficient banding machines on the market. For example, a banding machine with ultrasonic sealing technology consumes around 98% less electricity than a shrinking machine.

Paper bands increase efficiency, carry information and support the unboxing experience
Paper bands make the packaging process easier by organizing and sorting textiles and increase the efficiency of automatic packaging machines. They are also environmentally friendly information carriers on which product information, brand logos and care instructions can be placed - without additional labels. Paper bands also improve the appearance of packaged textiles, create an attractive unboxing experience and strengthen brand identity.
