A binding machine is configured to wind and bind an object to be bound with a band-shaped tape. The binding machine includes: a tape holder configured to hold a first end that is one end of a first part that is a part of the tape; and a tape remover configured to abut against the first end and configured to remove the tape from the tape holder.

A strap-cutting mechanism for a strapping device includes a strap-cutting head that has a through hole and clamping members. The through hole receives a knife sleeve extending therethrough. The clamping members are separated so that plates and a spacer arranged therebetween. The spacer is arranged between the plates so that a gap is formed between the plates for a packing strap to pass therethrough. The gap guides the packing strap so that a smooth strapping process can be ensured. An alternative spacer of a different thickness may be used to adjust the gap formed between the plates. This allows the plates and/or the spacer when become damaged or deformed after long use to be easily replaced, thereby extending the service life of the strapping device.

A method for packing includes a preparing step, a moving step, a first time feeding strap step, an encircling article step, a first time tightening step, a second time feeding strap step, a manual inserting step, a second time tightening step, and a strap cutting and bonding step. A strap feeding and retreating control unit of the strapping machine is controlled to tighten the packing strap tightly around the article, and then the strap feeding and retreating control unit is controlled to automatically pull out the packing strap, so that two insertion spaces are created between the packing strap and the article. The two right-angle pad elements can be respectively inserted into the two insertion spaces. Then, the packing strap is tightened to tightly wrap around the article and the two right-angle pad elements. Next, the packing strap is cut and bonded to complete the packing action of the article.
