It’s no secret, shrink sleeve labeling is one of the most popular technologies in the manufacturing and packaging industry. Shrink sleeve labels and tamper evident banding are some of the best, easiest, and most affordable options to utilize for manufacturers looking to create high-quality, full-color, and versatile packaging that is also affordable and able to be fully automated. Overall, the benefits of shrink sleeve labeling are numerous. However, have you ever wondered what the shrink sleeve label process looks like? First, you have to find a custom shrink sleeve designer, decide what type of material you would like to print on, decide if you would like to include tamper-evident neck banding, and make a few other choices. This also includes designing the label. Luckily, shrink sleeve labels are incredibly versatile and won’t deform the design that you create for your product.
