Best-fit applications
Where this sleeve applicator route usually fits.
Small pack projects may need a horizontal sleeve system, rotary handling or carefully guided inline application. Lancing can review samples to reduce the risk of unstable transfer.
- Vials, droppers and compact cosmetic packs
- Small nutraceutical and pharmaceutical-style bottles
- Slim products that may need horizontal transport
- Short sleeves, body bands and tamper-evident bands
- Bottle diameter, height and centre of gravity
- Whether the product should travel upright or horizontally
- Sleeve length and opening reliability
- Tunnel transfer without toppling or spinning
- Expected output and changeover frequency

Small bottles questions
Why are small bottles difficult to sleeve?
They can be lightweight and unstable, making sleeve drop, conveyor transfer and tunnel entry more sensitive.
Can small bottles be run horizontally?
Some products can be carried horizontally through sleeve application and shrink, which may improve stability for slim packs.
What samples are useful?
Send filled and empty bottles, sleeve samples, cap details and the expected range of SKUs.
