Abstract
Banding apparatus, which is capable of high speed operations, opens perforated, heat shrinkable, plastic tubing by use of a floating mandrel. Rollers or fingers, which exert force against the sides of the mandrel, are used to feed the tubing, tear the tubing at the perforations to form bands, and then push the bands off the mandrel and onto or over containers or articles to be banded.
