    What are Packaging Sleeves?

    Packaging sleeves are printed wraps that fit around products such as retail items, food containers, soaps, boxes, and other packaging. Depending on the fit and construction, a sleeve may help keep grouped items or a lid-and-base box together while adding branding, product details, and promotional information, making the packaging look more attractive and professional.

    Take your product presentation to the next level with custom packaging sleeves. These affordable branding solutions wrap neatly around your products, helping them look more attractive on store shelves while reinforcing your brand identity.

Printed sleeves can also be used as decorative accents for invitations, cards, books, and promotional materials, making them a versatile choice for creative branding.

    Customize Packaging Sleeves for Your Products

    Packaging sleeves can transform an ordinary box into attractive packaging that grabs attention and encourages customers to pick your product over competitors. With us, you can create your next set of packaging sleeves as per your custom requirements.

    Here’s how you can create your custom packaging sleeves:

    Select The Right Size For Your Packaging Sleeves

    The first step in creating your packaging sleeves is to determine the right size. The standard packaging sleeve size ranges from 4″ x 2″ to 26″ x 12″.

    However, if you require a size other than standard sizes, we also offer custom sizes to create sleeves that fit your products perfectly.

    Materials for Custom Packaging Sleeves

    Material is the main factor that offers the overall appeal of your box. The right material defines a lot about your brand and product type. We offer a wide range of material options for packaging sleeves:

    • SBS or coated cardstock
    • Kraft paperboard
    • Uncoated cardstock
    • Recycled-content cardstock
    • Textured or specialty paperboard
    • Food-contact-suitable paperboard where required

    Popular Packaging Sleeve Styles

    Choosing the right sleeve style helps improve both product presentation and functionality. Different products require different sleeve structures to ensure a secure fit and a professional appearance. We offer the following packaging sleeve styles:

    We use the CMYK and Pantone (PMS) color systems to ensure color accuracy. Exterior printing is standard for most sleeve applications. Interior printing may also be available depending on the material, construction, artwork, and order specifications.
