Sleeve Applicators
Sleeve applicators apply printed or clear sleeves to containers before shrinking. They are typically considered for full-body sleeve labels, neck-band tamper evidence, promotional multipacks or shaped containers where pressure-sensitive labels are not the preferred route.
- Suitable for shrink sleeve labelling and tamper-evident banding.
- Can be specified with a matching shrink tunnel or steam/heat shrink stage.
- Supports shaped packs where conventional labels may be difficult.
- Project review should include container shape, sleeve material and artwork tolerance.
