Best-fit applications
Where this sleeve applicator route usually fits.
The machine route depends on whether the PVC sleeve is a short band, partial body sleeve or full-body label. Lancing can review sleeve samples before recommending the applicator and tunnel combination.
- Short tamper-evident bands and cap seals
- Bottle sleeve applications where PVC film is specified
- Projects with existing sleeve stock that needs machine matching
- Smaller to medium-speed lines requiring a compact applicator route
- PVC film thickness and shrink percentage
- Sleeve lay-flat and cut length
- Heat sensitivity of container and closure
- Tunnel dwell time and heat distribution
- Artwork position and perforation requirement

PVC sleeves questions
Can PVC sleeves be applied automatically?
Yes. Automatic sleeve applicators can feed, cut and place PVC sleeves when the film and pack dimensions match the machine range.
Is PVC suitable for full-body sleeves?
It can be used in some projects, but the sleeve supplier, product sector and packaging requirements should be checked before committing.
What information is needed for PVC sleeve testing?
Send the sleeve film specification, lay-flat, cut length, pack dimensions, cap details and expected output.
