How are shrink sleeve labels applied to bottles, cans, and other consumer goods?

Shrink sleeve labels are used to package a variety of consumer goods. This includes beverages, food products, cleaning products, soaps, mouthwash, canned goods, and so much more. Not only do shrink sleeves provide eye-catching packaging, but they can also be used to package dual and bulk packages and provide tamper-evident seals for food, cosmetics, supplements, and other products that must not be opened before purchase. But how are shrink labels applied? The best way to apply shrink sleeve labels is with automated heat shrink labeling equipment. 

An automated heat shrink labeler and neck banding system can be used to apply individual, custom sleeves to a variety of products at speeds of up to 300 units per minute. This machinery can be used with a shrink tunnel to easily, and quickly sleeve each unit and then apply heat to the product to shrink the sleeve to size, providing fast and affordable, hands-free packaging solutions for manufacturers across industries.
