About Printed Shrink Labels
Printed Shrink Labels also known as printed shrink sleeves, are a type of packaging label that is made of plastic and designed to fit snugly around a container or product. These labels are printed with high-quality graphics, text, and branding elements using advanced printing technologies. They are then applied to the product or container and exposed to heat, causing them to shrink and conform to the shape of the item. Printed shrink labels are used in various industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics, to provide a high-quality, attractive, and durable labeling solution.
Customizable Shrink Labels for Every ApplicationOur shrink labels are available in customizable widths (20 mm400 mm) and thicknesses (3080 microns), ensuring a tailored fit for various packaging needs. Whether you require rolls or pre-cut sleeves, these labels support advanced printing options for vivid branding on bottles, jars, and containers.
Exceptional Durability and Eco-friendly PrintingCrafted from durable non-woven materials, these labels offer tear resistance and high shrinkage rates. Using eco-friendly, non-toxic inks, we ensure vibrant, full-color prints without compromising recyclability, suitable for PET, HDPE, glass, and metal packaging.
Effortless Application through Heat ActivationInstallation is simplified with recommended heat tunnel or heat gun methods. When exposed to temperatures between 95C and 110C, the labels shrink tightly around your product, delivering reliable tamper protection and a moisture-proof finish without adhesives.
FAQs of Printed Shrink Labels:
Q: How are printed shrink labels applied to containers or packaging?
A: Printed shrink labels are applied using a heat tunnel or heat gun. When exposed to heat between 95C and 110C, the label shrinks and conforms tightly to the shape of bottles, jars, or containers, providing a secure and professional finish.
Q: What types of materials are compatible with these shrink labels?
A: These shrink labels are compatible with PET, HDPE, glass, and metal surfaces, making them ideal for a wide range of industrial packaging applications, including bottles, jars, and containers.
Q: What is the shrinkage rate and how does it benefit my packaging?
A: Printed shrink labels offer up to 70% shrinkage in the transverse direction (TD) and 20% in the machine direction (MD), enabling them to fit tightly around complex shapes for enhanced branding, tamper-proofing, and product protection.
Q: Can I customize the size and printing style of shrink labels for my brand?
A: Yes, you can customize the width (20 mm to 400 mm), thickness (30 to 80 microns), length, and printing style. Full-color, high-clarity prints are available via UV, flexographic, rotogravure, or digital methods to align with your branding requirements.
Q: Are these shrink labels eco-friendly and recyclable?
A: Absolutely. We use eco-friendly, non-toxic inks for printing and design our shrink labels to be recyclable, supporting sustainability in industrial packaging solutions.
Q: Where are these shrink labels suitable for use?
A: These labels are suitable for industrial uses such as packaging, branding, surface protection, and tamper-proofing on bottles, jars, and containers commonly found in manufacturing, importing, and wholesale supply chains.
Q: Is there a minimum order quantity and what forms are available for supply?
