Thermo shrink sleeves
The most popular and increasingly widespread, with the possibility of using materials from 20 microns upwards
Elastic stretch sleeves
Less known but very interesting due to their characteristics of eco-compatibility, low cost and low enery consumption made of LDPE 30 micron upwards.
The latest developments on materials have led to new sleeves with high elasticity values (around 50%), making it possible to apply stretch sleeves even on containers with contour profiles, which up til now could only be made with shrink sleeves.
The applications are:
Primary decoration
of various types of containers (bottles, canisters, cans, kegs, crates, pots) with shrink and/or stretch
Multipacks
The sleeves, both shrink and stretch, are also used to make multipacks
Tamper Evident
Shrink sleeves are also used as tamper evident seals for caps
