Abstract
An apparatus and method of bundling bulk items, such as for example papers and magazines, that includes applying a double-sided label to the top and bottom of the material stack, compressing the material stack, applying two binding materials around the material stack, and then relieving the compression on the material stack to allow the binding material to maintain the compression on the bundled material. The binding material, including the double-sided label, can be automatically removed from the bundled material by removing the binding material from the stack of materials and vacuuming the binding material away from the stacked material.
