Shrink packaging is a versatile packaging technique that encompasses shrink sleeve labels, shrink cap seals, and shrink wrap bags. In this packaging method, products are first wrapped with shrink film, which can be made from materials like PVC, PET, OPS or POF. The film is then heated to tightly conform and adhere to the product's surface.

Unlike traditional labels that are adhered directly to the product or container, shrink sleeve labels are applied loosely around the product or container and then subjected to heat, causing the label to shrink and conform tightly to the shape of the item. Shrink sleeve labels are commonly used in the packaging of beverages (bottles and cans), food products, personal care items, pharmaceuticals, and other consumer goods. They have become popular due to their ability to enhance shelf appeal, differentiate products, and communicate important information effectively.
Also known as shrink neck bands or shrink tamper-evident bands, are a type of packaging material used to seal the caps or closures of bottles, jars, or containers. They are commonly used in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries to provide a tamper-evident and secure seal to the product's container. They are a popular packaging solution due to their ability to ensure product integrity, enhance product presentation, and provide a sense of security to consumers.
Shrink bags are commonly used for packaging various products, including food items, stationery, toys, and other consumer goods. They are widely used in retail, e-commerce, and industrial applications, providing a protective barrier against dust, dirt, and moisture, keeping the enclosed items clean and well-preserved.
