Engineered for form and function in any sector

Full-body shrink sleeves offer far more versatility than common pressure-sensitive labels:

  • 360-degree design — Get 150% additional real estate to enhance your brand with more story, bigger graphics or custom embellishments on your can or bottle.
  • Increased performance and protection — Because we print art inside of the sleeve, the material itself protects your brand from moisture, friction and chemical exposure.
  • Tamper proofing — Extend the label over your container’s cap to protect your consumers and your product— and we’ll test multiple configurations and materials to find the right solution for you.

With Resource Label Group, you’ll never worry about label lead times again.

Cost varies — but you’ve got options

You’ll need a custom consultation to accurately estimate shrink sleeve costs, but these factors affect the per-label price:

  • Material selection — When choosing between PETG, PVC, OPS and PLA shrink sleeves, it comes down to price and shrink needs. Learn more here.
  • Container shape — Shrink sleeves can conform to anything, but it’s easier to engineer sleeves for generic containers. Greater complexity requires more engineering, driving up costs.
  • Digital vs. flexo printing — For large runs, flexographic shrink sleeve labels are cost-effective. Go digital for short runs or for VDP customizations.
  • Embellishments — They increase per-label costs, but cold foil stamping, custom finishes and UV metallic inks can also differentiate your product from competitors.
