Plastic-based shrink sleeve labels sometimes referred to as shrink labels or shrink wraps, are a type of packaging label. They are frequently employed in the packaging sector to label a wide range of goods on bottles, cans, jars, and containers.
Because they are made to shrink into the shape of the container when heat is applied, shrink sleeve labels are distinctive. The labels are made of plastic that has been precisely designed to consistently shrink when heated. This enables the label to cover the full outside of the container, including its curved surfaces, unusual shapes, and contours.
There are normally three processes involved in applying shrink sleeve labels. Printing: Using top-notch printing procedures, the labels are printed with the appropriate design, branding components, product details, and visuals.
Application: Specialised equipment is used to apply the labels to the containers. When heat is applied to the labels after they have been originally put to the containers in a loose manner, the labels shrink and securely conform to the container.
Shrinkage: A heat tunnel or an oven is used to pass the containers with the sloppy labels through. The shrink film is activated by the heat, which makes it shrink and firmly stick to the surface of the container.
There are various benefits to shrink-sleeve labels. They cover the entire container in 360 degrees, giving you the best chance to brand and communicate. Additionally, they serve as a tamper-evident seal because any attempt to remove or tamper with the label will result in it tearing or changing shape. Shrink sleeve labels also have a high level of resistance to fading, moisture, and abrasion, ensuring the durability of the label’s appearance.
Shrink sleeve labels are generally well-liked in the packaging sector because of its visual appeal, marketing possibilities, and robustness. They are frequently used for a variety of goods, including drinks, foods, personal care items, home chemicals, and more.

The dairy, beverage, and nutraceutical industries have found it challenging to adapt, and packaging needs to shield the product from light exposure and subsequent spoilage. Brands frequently package these goods in HDPE, PP, or dark-colored PET as a result. These plastics can be recycled, however transparent PET plastic has a smaller environmental impact, is more generally accepted by recyclers, and can be recycled numerous times.
