How the Shrink Sleeve Labeling Process Works

The shrink sleeve labeling process begins by choosing the ideal label based on your container’s shape, material, and desired shelf appeal.


High-quality shrink sleeves are then printed with vibrant, 360-degree graphics to maximize brand visibility.


Using precision shrink sleeve applicators, the labels are accurately applied—even on uniquely shaped containers. Finally, products pass through a
heat shrink tunnel, where the sleeves tightly conform to the container, providing a secure fit and striking, professional finish.
