Shrink Label

Container Measurements Are Taken: The company printing your labels will need to take detailed measurements of the size and shape of your product’s can or container.

Artwork Design: A labeling company will take your vision and bring it to life using digitally designed artwork.

First Test Run: Generally, the first test run will help designers fit the product’s branding, nutritional information, and other important text and images onto the can. This is typically done with grid-patterned sleeves. The images are then transferred to computer software.

Art Manipulation: After the first test run, the designers will then go back to the board to address any issues they saw with the label.

Full Test Run: Before going through with the entire run, the label must go through a final checking process to ensure that the artwork is properly wrapped and that the label fulfills the brand’s design concept.

Sleeve Printing And Cutting Process: Some businesses like to apply shrink sleeve labels by hand, and if so, they’ll be cut to accommodate that. With considerations to things like run size and cost-time benefits, it’s more common for labels to be applied by a machine.
