Neck Bander
The PDC neck bander (or "shrink labeler") applies heat-shrinkable tamper-evident neckbands to juice, water, tea, yogurt beverages and sports drinks.

The PDC neck bander is the fastest machines in its class, banding at speeds up to 1000 cpm. Engineered for 24/7 service, with continuous material web flow that doesn’t pause for cutting, the PDC neck bander applies, with exceptional precision and repeatability, 1-3” diameter bands at heights up to 2.375”. This makes it well-suited to a very broad range of consumer packaged goods.

The PDC neck bander is a single-headed, in-line system that is production-proven, highly ergonomic, and easy to use. Systems can be supplied with a “splice-on-the-fly” accumulator unwind stand that eliminates the downtime traditionally required for roll changes. Changing from one product to the next is quick and efficient, thanks to PDC’s tool-less changeover feature.

Shrink Labeler
Full-package shrink sleeves wrap and conform to a container's every curve, enabling complete decoration of unusual shapes – from top to bottom and 360 degrees. This allows package designers to create powerful brand identities, and maximizes the space for graphics, text and images in addition to ingredients, UPC codes and nutritional information.

The PDC shrink labeler was engineered for high speed beverage lines that demand, high performance, with quick changeover.

The PDC neck bander and full-package shrink labeler systems apply thin gauge (1.5 to 2 mils, 40 to 50 micron) banding materials, and are compatible with all petroleum-based and sustainable films, including PVC, PET, PETG, OPS and PLA films.

Like all PDC packaging systems, the PDC neck bander and shrink labeler systems use standard, readily available components. PDC manufactures a broad range of stand-alone neck bander systems, in addition to inline systems which can also be added as modules on labeling machinery.

The PDC R Series neck bander and shrink labeler are available in all stainless steel NEMA-4X construction for wet and wash-down environments.
