Shrink Sleeve labels represent the most advanced frontier of flexible packaging. Unlike traditional labels, heat-shrink labels consist of a plastic film that, through a heat-shrinking process, adheres perfectly to the shape of the container—be it glass, plastic, or metal—enveloping it completely.
Adopting this technology offers competitive advantages that go far beyond simple aesthetics. The shrink sleeve label utilizes the entire surface of the container (from cap to base) for eye-catching graphics, product information, and brand storytelling.
The shrink sleeve offers the ability to extend the label up to the cap, creating a tamper-evident safety seal that guarantees product integrity for the final consumer.
Furthermore, the plastic film acts as a protective barrier against scratches and external agents, and in the case of transparent containers, it can offer partial protection from UV rays to preserve the contents.
From an aesthetic point of view, the shrink sleeve represents the ideal solution for containers with complex or ergonomic geometries where flat labeling would be impossible.
By developing shrink sleeves with low-density materials and films that are easily separable during the recycling phase, our labels facilitate virtuous container management (PET, PE, or glass).

Glossy, matte, or with a tactile paper-touch varnish, with metallic effects; shrink sleeve labels can be pre-cut, with micro-perforations, and cold foil applications.
Starting with a preliminary consultation and continuing with a thorough assessment of the possibilities related to the container’s shape and surface, we select the most suitable raw materials and the most appropriate printing technology. Our partnerships with leading application companies allow us to offer a turnkey service, guaranteeing an optimal final result.
