Custom PVC Shrink Sleeve Labels for Bottles

Custom PVC shrink sleeve labels for bottle packaging

HY-020 is a PVC shrink sleeve label solution for bottle-packaging projects. It is supplied in roll format and developed around the bottle profile, required artwork, shrink behaviour and sleeve-application process.

A shrink sleeve can create a continuous printed label area around a bottle. The final result depends on the bottle shape, film orientation, sleeve dimensions, artwork layout and shrink-tunnel conditions.

Send your bottle sample and label specification to begin a practical review.

Start with the actual bottle shape

Sleeve dimensions should be developed from the real bottle. Provide the bottle sample or drawing, bottle height and diameter, shoulder and base geometry, label coverage area, bottle material and any existing sleeve sample.

Confirm shrink direction before approving artwork

Confirm shrink direction, lay-flat width, cut length, overlap, seam position, print-safe areas, registration marks and barcode placement before releasing artwork. Check the final graphics on the real bottle after shrinking.

Match the roll format to the application line

Confirm roll width, roll diameter, core size, unwind direction, sleeve cut length, application-machine type and steam or heat-shrink tunnel conditions. The roll specification should match the actual labeling line.

Validate the finished sleeve

Test sleeve positioning, print appearance after shrinking, barcode legibility, packing performance and the project’s target-market requirements on representative bottles.

What to include in your RFQ

• Bottle sample or technical drawing
• Bottle material, dimensions and label coverage area
• Required film finish and artwork files
• Sleeve dimensions, shrink direction and seam requirement
• Application-machine and shrink-tunnel information
• Target market and estimated order quantity

Frequently asked questions

Can a PVC shrink sleeve fit every bottle shape?

No. The sleeve must be developed around the real bottle profile and expected shrink behaviour.

Can the sleeve be printed with our brand artwork?

Yes. Provide approved artwork, brand colours and required information. Check the layout against the bottle contour and seam before production.

Is PVC the right material for every shrink sleeve project?

No. Material selection should follow the bottle, visual result, application process and target-market requirements.

Can the labelled bottle be described as recyclable?

Do not make a universal recyclability claim. It depends on the bottle material, label-removal route and recycling system in the target market.
