Why Do People Use Shrink Sleeve Labels?

Labels on shrink sleeves are the best way to sell products. Shrink sleeve labels help consumers notice a product by standing out on the shelves with their vibrant colours and modern design, which in turn helps build brand awareness. Labels with shrink sleeves come in a variety of styles, including full-body, full-body with tamper-evident cap, middle sleeve, and multi-pack.

Shrink sleeves with a whole body design wrap around the container from top to bottom. Both single packaging and multi-pack packaging can employ these sleeves. By using a larger shrink sleeve, numerous containers are packaged as a "multi-pack." When offering a two-for-one deal, packing goods to sell extra inventory, or adding a new sample to an existing product, this style of packaging is frequently employed. 

A portion of the container is covered with sleeve shrink labels. Usually found on consumer goods like beverages, food, and health and beauty products.

When employing a full-body and cap sleeve, the tamper-evident band on the sleeve covers the container's cap. A perforation is frequently included on the tamper-evident band, making it simpler for customers to open. Assuring customers that the goods they are buying has not been opened is a standard safety technique that uses tamper bands.

How Do Shrink Sleeves Applied?

Applying shrink sleeve labels can be done manually or automatically using devices like the LX-100, LX-150, and LX-350 from Orianaa. Orianaa manufactures sleeve applicators for a variety of production speeds and settings, depending on the size and application speeds necessary. Shrink sleeve machinery is widely used by businesses to maintain high production rates and maximise operational effectiveness.

The labels are placed on a sleeve roll that is fed into the label applicator for automated application. The labels are then fed into a cutting assembly by the machine and cut to the desired height. The label applicator wheels on the apparatus are then used to apply the cut labels to the container.

A heat source is then used to shrink the label to the container once the sleeve has been placed over the container. Depending on the desired finish and aesthetic of the product, there are numerous heat tunnel kinds to pick from.
