A sleeve<\/strong> is a flexible packaging or label solution that is placed around a product or packaging like a cover. It is usually a printed film or paper tape that fits snugly to the shape of the product or is placed loosely around it. <\/p>\n\n In the food sector, sleeves are often used for cups, bottles, trays or multipacks. A distinction is made between shrink sleeves<\/strong> (shrink films that adapt to heat) and wrap-around sleeves<\/strong> (banderoles made of paper or film). <\/p>\n\n Sleeves offer a flexible way of designing packaging without having to change the primary packaging itself.<\/p>\n\n ASleeves make it possible to customize products quickly and cost-effectively – for new varieties, limited editions or co-branding, for example. At the same time, they offer additional space for brand communication. <\/p>\n\n The most important advantages:<\/p>\n\n Sleeves are particularly interesting for brands that want to react agilely to trends or campaigns.<\/p>\n\n Sleeves should not just be thought of as a label, but as an integral part of the packaging design. Color schemes, typography and imagery must match the brand and be effective on the shelf. <\/p>\n\n This is where packaging design, brand strategy and production consulting<\/strong> come together.<\/p>\n\nWhy sleeves are relevant for food brands<\/h3>\n\n
