Notes
When used literally, 捆绑 implies a firm and secure tying, often with ropes or straps. In business, it implies combining items into a package deal. Avoid confusing 捆绑 with simple 绑 (bǎng), which also means "to tie" but is more general and less formal. 捆绑 often suggests a stronger or more deliberate binding.
This word is formal and common in written and spoken Chinese, especially in business and logistics contexts.
