ABOUT

About Shrink Sleeve Labels 

Shrink sleeve labels offer a maximum display area and 360-degree branding, providing a powerful shelf presence and high visual impact. Inovar was one of the first companies in the U.S. to produce these labels, making us a pioneer in the industry.

Shrink sleeves were introduced commercially in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Initially, they were mainly used for tamper-evident seals on pharmaceutical and food item products. Over time, advancements in materials and printing technologies expanded the applications of shrink sleeves to include full-body labeling and branding for various products across industries like food and beverage, cosmetics, household products, and more.

Today, shrink sleeves are a popular packaging choice for their versatility, aesthetic appeal, and ability to conform to complex container shapes. Our shrink sleeve label options include:

  • Body Sleeves: Full-body coverage excluding the cap.
  • Full-Body Sleeves: Covers the entire product, including the cap.
  • Neck Band Sleeves: Tamper-evident, printable neckbands, perforated for easy removal.
  • Tamper Evident Sleeves: Secure and protect your product while promoting your message.
  • Partial Body Sleeves: Also known as belly bands, covering part of the product.
  • Group Sleeves: Multi-pack sleeves for grouping multiple products.
