It sits flat, so it does not cut into soft cartons the way a tight strap can, and it needs no buckle or seal head. Hand taping gives a different pull on every box. A machine lays the band at the same position and tension every cycle, delivering consistent sealing quality and structural hold across continuous production batches [manufacturer rating].<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-it-works\">How the binding cycle works<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Infeed:<\/strong> the box enters on the roller or belt conveyor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Positioning and hold-down:<\/strong> the conveyor stops the box at the first band position, and a top hold-down presses the carton or stack flat so loose items cannot shift while the ring turns.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Binding:<\/strong> the ring turns and lays tape right around the box, then cuts it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Index:<\/strong> the box moves to the second band position, and the ring binds again.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Outfeed:<\/strong> the bound box leaves on the outfeed conveyor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>For 4 bands, the box indexes four times.
