Elastically applied full-body labels requiring no heat or adhesive for a clean, sustainable solution.
Stretch sleeve labels are manufactured from highly elastic film that is mechanically stretched over the container and released, allowing the film's natural elasticity to grip the container tightly. Unlike shrink sleeves, stretch sleeves require no heat tunnel, reducing energy consumption and simplifying the application process.
This label format is particularly well-suited for round and slightly contoured containers where a full-body decorated appearance is desired. Stretch sleeves are increasingly popular among brands pursuing sustainability goals because the label can be cleanly separated from the container during recycling, and the mono-material PE film is widely accepted by recycling streams.
Stretch sleeve labels combine environmental responsibility with outstanding production efficiency.
Mono-material PE construction is compatible with existing recycling infrastructure. Labels separate cleanly during the float-sink process.
Eliminates the need for heat tunnels, reducing energy costs, floor space requirements, and production line complexity.
Provides near-360-degree graphics coverage for maximum brand visibility and a seamless, professional container appearance.
High application speeds with lower operating costs compared to shrink tunnels. Minimal changeover time between container sizes.
Stretch sleeve labels are ideal for high-volume production lines where speed, cost, and sustainability are key decision factors.
SYSCON delivers stretch sleeve labels with precise elasticity control and consistent print quality.
