Shrink Sleeves
Shrink sleeves are a top choice for brands across industries—from sports nutrition and nutraceuticals to food & beverage, health & beauty, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. With bold colors, high-impact artwork, and 360-degree coverage, shrink sleeves create eye-catching packaging that connects with consumers and sets your product apart on the shelf.
Boost Your Visibility with Shrink Sleeves
Shrink sleeves provide a full 360-degree surface for branding and messaging, and enable modern brands to create head-turning graphics. Choose between a body sleeve and a full-body sleeve with a neckband.

Harness the Full Scope of Shrink Sleeves Possibilities
Shrink Sleeves for Safety and Security
Shrink sleeve neckbands can function as tamper evident labels. They can be clear or custom printed to complement the package design.
Full-body shrink sleeves can also provide a tamper evident seal. In this case, the body and the neckband are separated by a T-Perf for easy access to the product.
Shrink sleeves can also incorporate an optical brightener for automatic line ejection of mislabeled containers.
Increase the Shelf Life of Products with Shrink Sleeves
In the case of light-sensitive packaging, shrink sleeves can be used as a substitute for the different barriers used in UV-resistant containers.
Indeed, some sleeves incorporate a protection against UV rays and therefore allow to lower the total cost of packaging by choosing a more economical container while preventing the effects of light on taste, aroma and color.
Shrink Sleeves for Promotions and Multipacks
Multi-pack sleeves allow you to bundle multiple products into one convenient, retail-ready unit. The film conforms around containers of different sizes and shapes while allowing consumers to physically see the products inside.
How can you incorporate these into your current portfolio?
-
Create bonus and promotional packs – Add a free product, sample, or trial-size item to introduce new products.
-
Bundle multiple SKUs – Combine different flavors, scents, or product types into a single package.
-
Pair different sizes and shapes – Bundle a full-size product with a sample, travel-size item, refill, or complementary product.
-
Create seasonal and limited-edition promotions – Quickly develop holiday packs, special offers, and retailer-specific bundles.
-
Reduce secondary packaging – For suitable applications, shrink film can provide a lightweight alternative to folding cartons, helping reduce packaging material and overall package weight.
-
Keep products visible – Transparent or partially printed film lets consumers see the actual products, colors, containers, and fill levels inside the pack.
