How Do Shrink Sleeve Labeling Machines Work?
Commonly used for food, beverage, or personal care items, shrink sleeve machines work by applying heat to shrink sleeve labels. The heat causes it to tightly conform to the body of the product’s packaging, creating an eye-catching label that can easily be recycled.
There are multiple types of shrink sleeve machines. The right one for your business depend on your industry’s demands.
Benefits of Shrink Sleeve Packaging
Besides high-speed production and reduced operating costs, switching to shrink sleeve labels improves your product. Here are a few ways this occurs:

- Shrink sleeve labels can be used to create tamper evident band for easy product seals, empowering your customers to shop safely
- Enables creativity to shine through the product’s packaging with 360° labeling
