Shrink Sleeving
     


Shrink sleeving can differentiate your product from that of your competition. It is versatile and adds attractive graphics and colour to the packaging of your product. Products that typically fit into this category would include premium alcoholic beverages, beer, food, spirits, dairy and sparkling wine items.

Shrink sleeving entails placing a pre-printed plastic sleeve onto a container and then applying heat to the plastic film (typically between 40 - 70 micron) so that the film shrinks to the shape of the bottle. The technology of shrink sleeving has been around for twenty five years and has come a long way since then; mainly due to the innovative properties of modern day plastic film.
