We put all our expertise to your service, in order to move your printing orders through this workflow, advising you on colour spacing and shrinkage ratios. As the basic materials are perfectly transparent, you can play with colour or even leave some parts of the foil transparent, so that the colour(s) of the product packaging reinforce your message.
Some types f packaging actually beg for a shrink sleeve label. You can use up to 8 colours, not counting the colour of the packaging itself, to create a stunning result. In consultation with our technical and sales staff, we can even add more colours for applications that require them.
