Almost every product industry can use shrink sleeves, however, Consolidated Label has found that certain industries benefit the most from shrink sleeves.

Food & Beverage – Shrink sleeves work well with food & beverage products (especially juices, energy drinks, alcoholic beverages) because the tamper evident protection seal keeps food & beverage products from being opened intentionally or unintentionally. The aesthetic design also can tempt consumers’ taste buds with vibrant colors and graphics.

Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical – Product safety is an important factor when making custom labels for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. Shrink sleeves’ tamper evident protection seal, damage resistant material and structural design decreases the chances of a product being accidentally or purposefully opened. Complying with government regulations is easier with shrink sleeves because the graphics and text can be easily changed out while allowing the containers to be reused for the new shrink sleeve. 

Household Cleaning Products –Detergents, soaps and cleaning agents can benefit from shrink sleeve labels because its material can withstand moisture, friction and varying temperatures. In most cases,household cleaning products using shrink sleeves will look as new as the day they were bought regardless of how many times the product has or will be used.

With more choices available on store shelves, businesses need a way to differentiate their product from competitors and one way they’re doing that is through shrink sleeve labels. Shrink sleeve labels are a relatively new type of label that has been making a name for itself in the label industry for several reasons:

1. Its full body design allows for more creativity with graphics, color and impact.
2. The sleeve film is durable, abrasion resistant and waterproof.
3. Labels can be removed from bottles and containers allowing the bottle/container to be reused.

Although shrink sleeves tend to cost more than other types of labels, they can in some cases increase market share and improve the product’s shelf appeal. Shrink sleeves can also decrease container expenses because a generic, cost-effective container can be used since the product is completely covered with the sleeve. Shrink sleeve labels are used in a wide variety of industries and will continue to grow in popularity as companies see the benefits of shrink sleeve labels.
