Custom Packaging Sleeves

From providing additional branding space to offering functional benefits such as product protection and evidence of tampering, custom-printed product sleeves and belly bands can help enhance product presentation and grab consumer attention. Product sleeves are ideal for items that either can be sold without any packaging or come in their own generic packaging. Soaps, fruits in plastic containers, pre-packaged cookies, tool sets, and clothing items are just some of the many products that are often packaged and branded using custom belly bands to elevate product presentation, improve brand visibility, and engage consumers on a deeper level.

How do Product Sleeves Work?

Custom packaging sleeves are typically shipped flat with a self-adhesive double-sided tape on one end of each sleeve. In order to apply the belly bands or sleeves to a product, the bands are wrapped around the underlying product packaging and the two sleeve ends are then sealed together with the help of the double-sided tape. Product sleeves can be made in custom sizes using a wide variety of different materials in order to have the required coverage area and durability.
