Description

 Sleeve Style Packaging: Key Takeaways

Sleeve packaging is a printed band or wrap that slides over a box, tray or bowl, also known as a belly band. It adds a branding surface and an extra layer around the pack, and it can change the look of a plain box without reworking the box itself. Custom sleeves start at 100 boxes at iBox Factory, with free design help and a digital proof before production.

 Sleeve Styles and When to Use Them

Custom Box Sleeve Packaging is the classic slide-on sleeve for an existing box or tray, and it can be made as a simple, full, window, tuck end or pull-tab sleeve. The Bowl Sleeve wraps a round or tapered bowl, common for prepared meals and takeout. The Sleeve with Cap Lock Box adds cap lock flaps that hold the sleeve in place on the box. The Sleeve with Product Retainers holds items in position inside the sleeve with die-cut retainers, useful for bottles, jars or tools that should not shift.

 Sleeve Stocks, Finishes and Ordering

Because a sleeve is mostly print surface, finishing matters. The product pages list white, colored, kraft, textured, foil metallic and holographic cardstocks, printed in CMYK or PMS with gloss, matte or spot UV coating. Gold or silver foiling, embossing and raised ink add texture, and a window cut-out with PVC sheet lets the product show through. Send your box or bowl measurements for a quote, use our free design support, approve a flat or 3D digital proof, and your sleeves ship free within the US.
