PACKAGING / CARTONS

Avoid UPS & FedEx Surcharges

Switch from rigid straps to Tape Banding for more secure, surcharge-free parcel shipping.

Rigid straps concentrate force on carton edges. During transit, they can loosen, cut into corrugate, or break entirely — compromising seam integrity and structural stability.

By using rigid straps, your cartons are less secure AND UPS and FedEx may apply an Additional Handling Surcharge that can range from $6-$30+ per parcel.

TM Series Tape Banders Pays for Itself Fast

2,000 Cartons = less than 1 day ROI*

500 Cartons = 3.5-day ROI*

100 Cartons = 16.5 day ROI*

* Based on an average surcharge of $13.95 per carton

From our design and manufacturing plant in Middleton, Wisconsin, we provide the fastest design-to-build time with in-house engineering, CNC machining, fabrication, assembly and testing in one facility.

Madison Banders also has banding solutions that create USPS Compliant bundles. Per 39 CFR Part 111. String, Twine and Rubberbands are no longer acceptable for banding USPS Flats. Use USPS compliant films, applied with the Madison Banders’ MPT-17 & MPT-21 to securely hold your postal bundles.
