Card Bands

• Paper not plastic
• Inexpensive
• Smart and Branded with your own marketing information
• Invisible
• Super easy to open and almost no packaging to throw away
• User friendly

Card bands are shaped translucent strips of paper used to bind envelopes and greeting cards into a single package. The strip across the front of the card is narrower which makes it almost invisible to the eye. On the back of the card the card the strip is wider allowing space for Barcodes and marketing materials.

Options – Vertical or Horizontal?

At first we thought customers should apply card bands horizontally, but we are now getting orders from publishers that want to apply the bands vertically. The advantages of Vertical bands are:

• The customers can be open and read greetings inside the card
• The bands do not catch in the racks

Design Rights

Self Seal Belly Bands were the first company to make card bands and we have a design registration and are sole distributors and manufactures for the type of translucent shaped variety of card bands illustrated above.

Non Biodegradable Poly Bags
