In the binding band for binding the wire bundle, a plurality of openings that can be inserted into the non-return locking body are provided in the band portion along the band portion, and the band portion is wound around the wire bundle. By turning the opening into the non-return locking body when turned, the band portion is locked to the non-return locking body to bind the wire bundle.

In this case, when the band is wound around the bundle of wires, the opening is inserted into the non-return locking member, so that the band is fixed to the non-return locking member and bound to the wire bundle. This eliminates the need for conventional engaging members, and eliminates the need for careful management of the mounting position of the binding band with respect to the wire bundle, and allows the wire bundle to be smoothly attached to panels such as vehicle bodies and electrical equipment. It is an object of the present invention to provide a binding band with low cost.
