Plastic packaging

Shrink sleeve manufacturer

Full-body sleeves that turn a standard container into a shelf-ready brand — and, where needed, into tamper evidence. Material choice decides shrink behaviour on your container's curves, so we test the film against your container before the run.

What we supply

Full-body and partial shrink sleeves for bottles, jars and cans
Tamper-evident neck bands and cap seals
Multi-pack and promotional sleeves
Sleeves with perforations for easy removal and better recyclability
Design support: distortion-aware artwork preparation for the shrink curve
Low-quantity runs for launches and limited editions

Materials and structures

PETG (most commonly recyclable with PET streams in several EU markets), PVC and OPS films, with a range of shrink curves and thicknesses. Material selection depends on the container geometry and the shrink tunnel — send the container or its dimensions and we propose the film and shrinkage.

Structure

Printed flat, seamed into a tube, then shrunk to follow the container; shrinkage grade must match the container curve.

Printing, artwork and finishing

Rotogravure and digital printing up to 10 colours, with 360° coverage, matte / gloss / metallic finishes and tactile varnishes. Artwork must be pre-distorted for the container's shrink behaviour: we provide the distortion template and check the artwork before printing.

Where it is used

Beverages, dairy and juices
Personal care and cosmetics
Household and cleaning products
Food jars and sauces
Promotional and limited-edition packaging

Compliance documents that come with the order

Declaration of Conformity (DoC) — issued against EU 1935/2004 and, for plastics, EU 10/2011, naming the material and the intended food contact conditions.
Material composition sheet — every layer, its material code and grammage, so your importer can register the packaging and complete PPWR documentation.
Migration / food contact test reports — from accredited third-party laboratories (SGS, TÜV, Intertek or equivalent), on request.
Recyclability statement — design-level statement of whether the structure is mono-material, how it sorts in EU collection streams, and what limits recyclability if it is multilayer.
Declaration on heavy metals and substances of concern — covering the sum-of-concentration limits under EU 94/62/EC (as amended).

Frequently asked questions

Do you provide the compliance documents my EU importer needs?

Yes. Every order ships with a Declaration of Conformity, a material composition sheet and a recyclability statement; migration test reports from accredited laboratories are provided on request. Under PPWR (Regulation (EU) 2025/40) your importer must be able to produce technical documentation within 10 days of a market surveillance request, so we prepare the file before the goods leave the production site.

What is the minimum order quantity?

It depends on the structure and the printing process — rotogravure, flexo, offset and digital runs all start at different quantities. Send us the item, size, quantity and artwork status and we confirm the exact MOQ together with the quotation, in writing.

Can you supply samples before production?

Yes. We first provide a plain or white-sample mock-up so you can check dimensions against your filling line, then a printed proof of your artwork. Sampling time depends on whether the structure is stock or bespoke — we confirm the dates with the quotation.

How do you work with buyers who have never sourced from China?

Four steps: you send the specification, we return a quotation with lead times and documents, we produce pre-production samples for approval, and we ship with the full document pack. You get a named contact, weekly production reports and photos at each stage — no surprises at the port.
