Sleeve Labelling Line Integration with Filling, Capping and Shrink Tunnels
Sleeve applicators work best when the surrounding line is planned properly. Filling, capping, conveyors, coding, shrink tunnel and packing can all affect the final sleeving result.

Best-fit applications
Where this sleeve applicator route usually fits.
The sleeve applicator should not be treated as an isolated machine. Lancing can review the full line so the applicator, tunnel and conveyors fit the process around them.
- New packaging lines requiring sleeve labelling
- Existing lines adding tamper-evident bands or full sleeves
- Projects needing conveyor changes or layout review
- Manufacturers wanting one joined-up line route
- Upstream filling and capping speeds
- Conveyor height, width and available footprint
- Product spacing and accumulation requirements
- Coding position before or after shrink
- Operator access, guarding and changeover needs
Specification checks
Details to confirm before choosing the machine.
Good sleeve applicator selection starts with the real pack, the real sleeve and the target output. The checks below help narrow the applicator, conveyor and tunnel route before a quotation is prepared.

Line integration questions
Can a sleeve applicator be added to an existing line?
Yes, but conveyor height, product spacing, upstream speed, tunnel position and downstream packing should all be checked.
Where does coding go on a sleeve labelling line?
It depends on the pack and code location. Coding may be before or after shrink, but heat and sleeve movement must be considered.
What causes integration problems?
Common issues include poor product spacing, unstable transfer, insufficient accumulation, tunnel footprint limits and no allowance for changeover access.
