Shrink sleeves
Shrink sleeves printed by UV flexo, full body even on complex shapes.
Shrink sleeves are used mainly on yoghurt, spread and butter cups and on plastic bottles of detergents. Reverse printing gives the pack gloss and resistance.
Shrink sleeves are more demanding to produce and apply than self-adhesive labels. That is why we test material suitability on your application line.
