What is Shrink Sleeve Labeling?

Thursday, February 2, 2023 6:37 PM

Shrink sleeve labeling is a process in which a pre-printed label is applied to a product and then heated so that it shrinks and conforms to the contours of the product. Shrink sleeve labels are commonly used for packaging beverages, personal care products, and household cleaning products.

There are several options for shrink sleeve labeling, including:

• Heat tunnel: A heat tunnel is an automated machine that uses hot air to shrink the shrink sleeve label onto the product.


• Heat gun: A heat gun is a hand-held tool that uses hot air to shrink the shrink sleeve label onto the product.


• Steam tunnel: A steam tunnel is an automated machine that uses steam to shrink the shrink sleeve label onto the product.


• Infrared heat lamp: An infrared heat lamp is a hand-held tool that uses infrared radiation to shrink the shrink sleeve label onto the product.


• Induction heating: Induction heating uses electromagnetic fields to heat the shrink sleeve label and shrink it onto the product.


• Flame treatment: Flame treatment uses a flame to heat the shrink sleeve label and shrink it onto the product. This method is typically used for PVC shrink sleeves
