Product type
Shrink sleeves are a type of packaging label that is made from a polymer material, typically PVC, PET, or polyolefin. These sleeves are designed to fit snugly around products when heat is applied, causing the material to shrink and conform to the shape of the item. This provides a full 360-degree branding surface and can enhance product visibility on shelves.
