Morphology

bander = band (transparent) = band + er

This is a regular agent noun built from the verb 'band' plus '-er', so the meaning is directly recoverable.

Etymology

Bander comes from band ('a strip or strap') plus the agent -er ('one who does'). So a bander is literally someone or a machine that 'puts a band' around boxes or bundles to hold them together.
