Printed shrink sleeves that can conform to virtually any shaped container
For everything from everything from food and beverage bottles to personal care and nutraceuticals packaging.
Shrink Sleeves
Shrink sleeves are durable, scuff-resistant and fade-resistant as the images are printed on the inside of the sleeve. The entire container can be decorated from top to bottom and around the entire surface, offering increased brand and communication space and a strong shelf presence. They are ideally suited for decorating unusually-shaped containers, and can be used on glass, plastic and metal containers. Brands can also incorporate tamper-evident and compliance features into the design, making it a very effective and efficient package solution.
Reasons to choose sleeves
Bolder branding
Because shrink sleeves wrap around the entire product, they provide 360° of graphic real estate for companies to catch the consumer’s eye and provide vital product information.
Durability
Shrink sleeve labels are durable and will hold up to scratching, tears, liquids, moisture or dirt that may come into contact with the product.
Inventory management
Rather than printing and applying conventional labels to unfilled containers, then running the risk of obsolete graphics on your inventory, you can keep your unlabelled packaging on hand then apply shrink sleeves as needed with your most current artwork.
Reuse outdated designs
If you’re sitting on an inventory of outdated pre-printed containers, shrink sleeves provide the perfect cover. It’s a smart way to keep packaging costs down by re-using existing stock and giving it a boost with new graphics.
Sophisticated Shrink Sleeve Prepress Software
Shrink sleeve artwork is a challenge because the shrinking process can compromise the design. Our team of experienced prepress professionals use sophisticated shrink sleeve software that simulates warping on the container to accurately predict artwork distortion. The final result is a beautifully printed and shrunk package that accurately presents your brand.
Personalised sleeves
We have leading edge HP Indigo Digital Offset printing technology which provides excellent print quality and is ideal for short runs and multiple varieties. In addition, digital printing offers the opportunity to add variable data or even personalise so that every sleeve is different.
Prototypes are part of the service
We offer a specialised 3D mock-up service so you can see what the shrink sleeve will look like on the container prior to printing. See your product come to life with an interactive 3D file that realistically shows the finished print look.
