Shrink Sleeves

At New Printing Era, we specialize in producing high-quality shrink sleeves for a variety of product packaging needs. Shrink sleeves are an innovative and eye-catching packaging solution that wraps around the entire product container, offering 360-degree branding and product information coverage. Ideal for industries like food and beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and household products, shrink sleeves not only enhance your product’s shelf appeal but also provide a durable and tamper-evident solution.

What Are Shrink Sleeves?

Shrink sleeves are made from a heat-sensitive plastic film that fits around the container or product and shrinks when heat is applied, conforming to the shape of the container. This process ensures a snug fit, providing a fully customizable, vibrant, and seamless design that covers the product’s entire surface. Shrink sleeves allow for intricate designs, high-quality graphics, and detailed product information to be printed, maximizing the visual impact of your product packaging.

These sleeves are especially effective for products with complex or irregular shapes, as they can conform to curves, edges, and indentations without compromising the design.

Benefits of Shrink Sleeves

  1. 360-Degree Branding
    Shrink sleeves offer full 360-degree coverage, allowing you to utilize the entire surface of the packaging for branding, product information, or design elements. This maximizes brand exposure and helps create a strong shelf presence in competitive markets.
  2. Durability & Protection
    The durable plastic film provides protection against moisture, abrasion, and wear, ensuring that the design and branding remain intact even in challenging environments such as cold storage or transport. This enhances the longevity of your product packaging and keeps it looking new.
  3. Tamper-Evident Seal
    Shrink sleeves can serve as a tamper-evident seal by covering the entire product, including the cap or lid. This gives customers peace of mind by ensuring that the product has not been tampered with before purchase, adding an extra layer of security to your packaging.
  4. Versatility for Various Shapes
    Whether you’re packaging cylindrical bottles, tapered containers, or uniquely shaped products, shrink sleeves can be customized to fit perfectly around any shape or size. This flexibility makes them a go-to solution for products in industries with non-standard packaging needs.
  5. Enhanced Design Opportunities
    With shrink sleeves, you can experiment with vibrant colors, complex designs, metallic finishes, and even transparent elements to highlight the product inside. The design possibilities are limitless, allowing your brand to stand out on the shelf.
  6. Eco-Friendly Options
    We offer eco-friendly shrink sleeve materials, such as recyclable films, to help brands reduce their environmental impact. This aligns with sustainability goals and appeals to eco-conscious consumers.

Types of Shrink Sleeves We Offer

At New Printing Era, we provide several types of shrink sleeves to meet different packaging and branding needs. Our shrink sleeves are fully customizable and designed to elevate your product’s appearance.

Full Body Shrink Sleeves
Full body shrink sleeves cover the entire product, including the body, neck, and cap or lid. This option maximizes branding opportunities, offering a large surface area for printing, making it ideal for products that need detailed information or bold graphics. Best For:

    • Beverage bottles (water, juice, alcohol)
    • Food jars and containers
    • Household cleaning products

      Shrink Sleeve Labels

          • Promotional product bundles
          • Food and beverage multi-packs
          • Household product sets

          Perforated Shrink Sleeves

            • Drink bottles with promotions
            • Products with safety or easy-to-open requirements

            Shrink Sleeves for Irregularly Shaped Containers
            If your product has a non-standard or irregular shape, shrink sleeves are the perfect solution. They can conform to a wide range of shapes, ensuring that your packaging remains seamless and visually appealing, no matter the complexity of the container. Best For:

              • Unique or custom-shaped bottles
              • Cosmetic containers
              • Specialty food and beverage items
