Are you looking for packaging and labeling options for your products? You’ve come to the right place. This blog post discusses various types of custom shrink sleeves and provides answers to questions that you might have regarding which ones are best for your project.
Package Multiple Items
If you’re looking for a great way to promote your products, shrink bands are a great way to package multiple items together. A shrink band not only provides this advantage but also allows you to promote your product through a message, logo, or artwork. This is achieved through the specially designed plastic that tightly contorts to the shape of your item once heat is applied. This results in both an aesthetically attractive and stylish package, where your brand is represented clearly.

Perforated Shrink Caps
Tamper-evident shrink sleeves don’t just offer full, 360-degree product packaging but also provide a vital safety feature through perforated caps to give away any unwanted tampering. This will ensure the quality of your products, along with the safety of consumers.
Partial Sleeve Labels
A standard shrink sleeve will partially cover your product’s packaging but doesn’t offer a tamper-evident seal on the cap. Available for most containers made from glass, metal, or plastic, a partial sleeve label can be recycled easily through the inclusion of a full-length zippered perforation.

Full Sleeve Labels
As you might have guessed from its name, a full-body shrink sleeve will completely encase the whole surface area of your product’s packaging, which includes the cap. This opens your business to a wide range of ways to showcase your branding, all in vivid colors and high-definition graphics.
Moreover, a full sleeve label will provide you with a tamper-evident seal for the safety of your consumers. A full sleeve label may also be installed with a full-length zippered perforation to allow for quick recycling and a simple way to remove the shrink sleeve from your products.
Tamper-Evident Neck Band
A tamper-evident neckband is known as the smallest kind of shrink sleeve label and is used to provide a tamper-evident seal around your packaging’s cap. This is done to make sure that your product stays secure before purchase. Neck bands can utilize zippered perforation and have space to place your logo, graphics, or instructions for further branding opportunities.
No matter which you end up working with, the various kinds of shrink sleeves available will need the right kind of equipment to ensure that it shrinks around your product. Unlike the traditional, pressure-sensitive label, a sleeve label doesn’t use adhesives and relies on the heat applied via steam or shrink tunnel. So before you think about using shrink sleeves, ensure that you invest in the proper equipment first.
