Shrink sleeve

What is Shrink sleeve?

A printed plastic sleeve heat-shrunk onto a container, giving full-surface decoration and often doubling as a tamper-evident seal. Cheap to change between markets compared with direct printing, which makes it a practical route to a market-specific label without new tooling — but it usually breaks a mono-material recycling claim.
