Shrink Sleeves: Preventing Unwanted Spills
Everyone’s worst nightmare is getting home and finding out that the bottle they just bought from the store fell over and leaked everywhere in the back seat. Let’s face it, for a consumer, this leaves a negative impression of that product in their minds.
Don’t let this be your product. Sometimes a cap just isn't enough to keep all of your product inside. Thankfully shrink sleeves offer excellent solutions to ensure that your product doesn't leak or spill, leaving those negative impressions on your consumers.
3 types of shrink sleeve solutions that prevent spillage
#1 Shrink Sleeve Neck Bands:
Neck bands are thin linings of plastic that wrap solely around the cap and the neck of the product. Because neck bands hold the cap tightly to the neck of the product, they ensure that nothing from inside the bottle is coming out until the proper time, even if the bottle is tipped upside down! You’ll most commonly find neck bands on products containing liquids, gels, or similar over-the-counter substances
#2 Full Body Shrink Sleeve over the cap:
These full coverage labels offer a multitude of benefits to a product. Relevant to this discussion, the full body shrink sleeve over the cap allows for the cap to be held securely to the product, eliminating no possibilities for a product's content to leak. The increased label real estate will also allow for companies to increase brand awareness and maximize design display.
#3 Multipacks:
Multipacks are wonderful solutions for companies that want to increase sales or brand awareness though promo deals like BOGO’s or 6-packs. But most consumers don't realize that multipacks also protect against spills. Along with holding the multiple products together, multipacks usually wrap around the lid, minimizing any possibility of premature openings and unwanted leakings.
An additional benefit of these shrink sleeve solutions
Shrink sleeves are great solutions for keeping everything in, but they also work to keep everything out. Shrink sleeves double as tamper evident sealing. Consumers can rest assured that their product has not been tampered with, so long as there is no breakage or removal of the plastic wrapping around the cap.
Ensured product purity has become an increasingly important demand from consumers. Several products already require tamper evident sealing by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and we can only expect these demands to rise in months to come, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic, which has likely increased hygiene awareness for the long term.
