Quote details
Information that helps shortlist the correct sleeve applicator route.
For a useful recommendation, send the container dimensions, filled weight, sleeve material, lay-flat, cut length, target output, photos or drawings, and where the sleeve needs to sit on the pack. If the project is going into an existing line, include available conveyor height, line direction, utilities and footprint.
- Container diameter, height, shoulder shape and filled weight
- Sleeve material, lay-flat, cut length, perforation and artwork position
- Required output in bottles per minute or packs per hour
- Tunnel choice, utilities, conveyor height and available footprint
- Changeover range, spare parts and operator access

Pack-led selection
Use the industry as context, then specify the actual container and sleeve.
Food, beverage, cosmetic and chemical operations may have different hygiene, moisture and product-handling constraints, but the sleeve applicator still has to be qualified against physical packs and controlled sleeves. Industry labels should not replace measurements or sample evidence.
State any product sensitivity, container temperature, wet surface, clean-down requirement or downstream inspection need alongside the pack dimensions. These conditions can affect static, sleeve handling, tunnel choice and the way finished packs leave the line.
Information to control in the project brief
- Container material, filled condition and temperature at sleeve application
- Surface moisture, condensation, dust or product residue around the pack
- Closure, shoulder and base geometry affecting the shrink zone
- Artwork, barcode, tamper band and consumer-opening requirements
- Cleaning, operator access and format-change expectations
- Downstream coding, inspection, packing and accumulation interfaces
