Opal has gained exclusive distribution rights for Bandall’s internationally patented banding and branding packaging systems, across Australia and New Zealand.

Bandall, headquartered in Netherlands, specialises in the field of bundling and banding solutions with its machines banding products in more than 100 countries, while Opal is one of Australasia’s leading packaging companies focused on sustainable fibre packaging solutions.

The inking of this new agreement brings together two market leading companies and will provide Opal's ANZ customers with a full packaging solution complete with banding and branding.

Bandall offers stand-alone solutions scaling up to fully automatic systems, backed by professional technical support, which can be integrated into a production line.

Each band provides on-pack real estate for branding and key product information. Precise brand positioning is one of the advantages offered through Bandall’s patented technology.

Key product features include a user-friendly patented feed; a low maintenance and energy-efficient system; a band that can provide a tamper evident solution; and the opportunity to reduce packaging material.
