Product Branding With Shrink Sleeves
With a maximum printing area and brilliant full color graphics, shrink sleeves are an excellent promotional tool. In addition to the many labeling advantages of shrink sleeves, shrink bands can be used to package multiple items together. Create a promotional offering by packaging two or more items together with shrink sleeve promo bands. BEE Packaging’s promo bands are made of custom shrink film printed with your artwork, logo, and message. Shrink film is seamed into promotional sleeves and items to be packaged are placed inside. With the application of heat, promo bands shrink and conform tightly to the shape of the packaged items. The result is a stylish and aesthetically attractive promotional package with your company’s name and logo clearly indicated.Contact Us to create a promotional package for your business or special event.

Tamper Evident Shrink Sleeves
Shrink sleeves create vibrant product packaging and labeling solutions that are both promotional and functional. BEE Packaging can provide shrink bands with full color digital graphics that fully encompass a product when heat is applied. With a maximum printing area and the advanced printing capabilities of a four color digital printing process, heat shrink labels will pique interest and boost sales. Shrink sleeves also offer practical packaging benefits. Custom shrink film is seamed to fit around a product. When heat is applied, sleeve shrinks to conform to the product’s shape even if it is unique or irregular. Stylish and aesthetically appealing, shrink bands will enhance product packaging and improve marketability.

Shrink SleevesSizing:When designing and ordering a shrink sleeve, a number of important measurements are taken. The slit width is the total width of the sleeve before it is seamed. Slightly smaller than the slit width, the critical art width is the area of the sleeve that is printed. A shrink sleeve’s layflat width is the width of the seamed sleeve or the width of the finished product. The cut length is the total height of the sleeve and the critical art height is the height of the printed area on the sleeve. Generally, the critical art height is 4 mm less than the cut length, leaving 2 mm on the top and the bottom of the sleeve without printing.
Printing & Varnishing:After the size of the shrink sleeve has been determined, art can be sized appropriately and prepared for the printing process. The imprint is applied to the inside of the material. Depending on how the sleeve is being applied to the container, a varnish may need to be applied over the printing to ensure that the imprint does not scratch and the sleeves run smoothly on the application equipment. The imprint is scratch resistant after the sleeve is applied to the container because it is on the inside of the label. Perforations: BEE Packaging can provide an option of perforation for shrink sleeves. Perforations are often used on sleeves that will be applied to bottles with screw off tops to provide tamper resistance. Perforations can also be applied to the side of a sleeve to allow easy removal. There can be up to two perforations per sleeve. Seam and Fold Areas:When designing a shrink sleeve, the seam and fold areas must be considered. Important design components such as ingredient information or UPC codes should not be on a fold. Seams can fall in the center of the sleeve or off center. Shrink Sleeve Finishing:Shrink sleeves can either be individually cut or finished on a roll depending on the application method. For many machine-applied shrink sleeves, the labels are finished on a roll. If the labels are to be finished on a roll, the outer diameter of the roll, core size, and rewind position of the roll are critical to ensure the roll will work on the application equipment. We will work with your shrink sleeve applicator to confirm the best finishing method. |
