Switch from rigid straps to tape banding for more secure, surcharge-free packaging.
Talk to Dan About Your Shipping CostsRigid straps concentrate force on carton edges. During transit, they can loosen, cut into corrugate, or break entirely- compromising seam integrity and structural stability.
When cartons are weakened or deformed, UPS and FedEx may apply Additional Handling Surcharges, which can range from $2 to $30+ per shipment.
Even a single failed strap can:
• Separate seams
• Collapse carton corners
• Trigger additional handling fees
• Increase damage claims
• Add unexpected shipping costs
Over time, these fees add up quickly, especially for high-volume shippers.
Secure every package with consistent tension and durability that meets UPS & FedEx shipping standards—built for UPS & FedEx-ready tape banding.
Tape banding distributes load across the surface, keeps seams intact, and protects cartons in transit.
Avoid UPS & FedEx Additional Handling fees, which can range from $2 to $30+ for each shipment.

Click here to download the PDFThe TM Series Tape Bander is engineered to deliver consistent tension that keeps seams intact and cartons protected throughout the shipping cycle.
In real-world shipment testing, tape-banded cartons remained intact while rigid-strapped cartons failed, breaking straps, separating seams, and triggering additional handling surcharges.
• Reliability – Consistent tension; seams stay intact; shipments arrive protected.
• Compatibility – Designed for a wide range of carton sizes and materials.
• Savings – Eliminates costly UPS and FedEx Additional Handling Surcharges.
Watch how tape banding maintains structural integrity and reduces the risk of surcharge-triggering failures.
