Shrink Sleeve Labeling Machine supplied by TrueGlow Imaging

Product Overview

A shrink sleeve labeling machine running at 100 to 600 bottles or cans per minute, built in SUS304 and designed to the customer's own requirement. Shrink sleeves wrap the full container, which is what makes them the choice for contoured bottles and for full-body graphics that a wrap-around label cannot cover. Minimum order is one unit with 100 units produced per month.

Key benefits

Why Buyers Choose This Specification

Full-Body Decoration on Any Shape

A shrink sleeve conforms to a contoured bottle where a paper or adhesive label cannot sit flat. That is the reason to choose sleeving over labelling in the first place.

SUS304 Construction

Stainless construction stands up to the wash-down regime that a filling hall runs on, which a painted frame does not.

Speed Range of Six to One

100 to 600 containers per minute covers small craft lines through to high-speed water and soft drink bottling on the same machine family.

Designed to Your Requirement

The machine is designed to different customer requirements rather than adapted from a standard build, which matters where container shapes are unusual.

Application scenarios

Where It Is Used

  • Full-body sleeving of contoured PET bottles
  • Tamper-evident neck sleeves on beverage bottles
  • Can decoration where full-wrap graphics are required
  • Dairy bottles requiring full coverage labelling
  • Juice bottles with shaped profiles
  • Promotional packs needing a different sleeve without changing the bottle
Who it is for

The Buyers This Product Suits

Beverage Brands With Shaped Bottles

A contoured bottle is a marketing decision that makes conventional labelling impractical. Sleeving is the answer to it.

Producers Needing Tamper Evidence

Neck sleeves are applied by the same machine type, which avoids a separate station on the line.

Plants Running Frequent Promotions

Changing the sleeve artwork is far cheaper and faster than changing the container.

Problems it solves

What It Fixes

Labels That Will Not Sit on a Shaped Bottle

A shrink sleeve conforms to the container profile rather than needing a flat panel.

Corrosion in a Wash-Down Environment

SUS304 construction is specified for the filling hall environment.

Machines That Do Not Suit an Unusual Container

The machine is designed to the customer's specific requirement rather than supplied as a fixed standard.

How It Ships And What Comes With It

Packing And Loading

Shipping volume for this item depends on the configuration and capacity you select, so no fixed container figure is published. Confirm the specification and the destination and a loading plan is issued with the quotation, rather than a figure we cannot support.

Documentation On File

Sourcing And Inspection

This product is supplied through TrueGlow Imaging, working with manufacturing partners whose facilities are visited and verified rather than taken on trust. In-process quality control and delivery supervision are available so goods are inspected before the container is sealed. Certifications quoted on this page are those stated on the product specification and belong to that product range rather than to our trading entity, so ask for the certificate covering your specific item.

Handling guide

Getting It Right First Time

Step 1

Send container drawings and samples, since sleeve length and diameter are set from them.

Step 2

Confirm the sleeve film type and thickness before the shrink tunnel is specified.

Step 3

Set the line speed requirement within the 100 to 600 per minute range.

Step 4

Trial the artwork distortion on the actual container before committing to print.

Step 5

Plan steam or hot air supply for the shrink tunnel at the installation position.

Guides That Cover This Product

Balancing a Packaging Line Before You Buy It

A line runs at the speed of its slowest machine, and that machine is rarely the filler. Every speed in this range is published, so the bottleneck can be found with arithmetic.
