Shrink-Sleeves
A label is more than just a brand’s identity. As the first connection between your product and customer, they invite attention, induce temptation and provide information. While self-adhesive ‘peel and stick’ labels are most popular for their convenience and economy, shrink sleeve labels, which flexibly adapt to the shape of the product, offer an all-around viewing surface that appeals from all directions.
Holographic shrink labels are gaining attention from manufacturers seeking to stand out from the crowd. Bright and vibrant, they completely cover the surface of the bottle to maximize visual impact. Originally used by market leaders and premium brands, they are fast gaining popularity even in SME segments. Also see Adhesive Labels

A holographic tape may be added to the sleeve as an authentication feature. This gives consumers the assurance of genuineness.
Durability

Branding
Shrink labels have more space for branding due to their wraparound character. Special colours and designs can be printed for impact.
