Shrink sleeves, also known as heat-shrinkable sleeves, are innovative packaging solutions that decorate, protect, and sometimes group products with a 360° printed design. Thanks to their versatility, they are suitable for the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial sectors.

Available in various sizes and materials, our customizable sleeves offer endless possibilities to enhance product visibility, improve protection, and ensure regulatory compliance.

Applications and features of shrink sleeves

Shrink sleeves are used for various packaging needs:

Decorative sleeves

Shrink sleeves allow full-surface printing on almost any container shape. Their immersive design maximizes brand visibility and captures consumer attention on the shelf.

Tamper-evident sleeves

Sleeves can incorporate a tamper-evident band to ensure product integrity until first use. This solution is especially suited to sensitive sectors such as cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals

Co-packing sleeves

Shrink sleeves are also used to group multiple products into a single promotional pack, streamlining logistics and transport.

Materials and printing

Our sleeves are made from technical materials, ensuring strength and adaptability:

• Recyclable PET, partially recycled PET, and low-density PET for enhanced eco-responsibility
• PO (polyolefin) with a density below 1 for easier waste sorting by flotation
• Cello email (reverse printing) for excellent scratch and abrasion resistance
• Moisture and cleaning agent resistance, ideal for demanding environments

Benefits of shrink sleeves

Shrink sleeves offer many advantages for packaging and product presentation:
