This is a very versatile form of packaging and can offer you full body decoration, promotional packaging and tamper evidence. You can print up to 8 colours, which enhances that ever-important visual impact. This process is used on a wide variation of products such as glass, metal or plastic and this further illustrates the practicality of this type of packaging.
Of special note is the ability to produce tamper evident sleeves which can incorporate easily removable perforations or special tear tapes. As a result the consumer can feel secure in the knowledge that such products are tamper proof. Heat Shrinkable Sleeve Labelling is also used where a customer has a particular bottle/pack of unusual shape. The sleeve fits the contours of the bottle for perfect 360 degree decoration.
For high speed, high volume manufacturers, sleeves are available in continuous reel form for fully automatic application. There is also the option of single pre-cut sleeves for application by hand.
