Application fit

Where this sleeve route usually fits.

  • large cap diameter and skirt height
  • band material and shrink ratio
  • wide container stability
  • tunnel heat distribution around the lid
  • operator changeover for tub sizes
  • pack shape and stability at conveyor speed
  • sleeve material and shrink percentage
  • barcode, seam and opening-feature position
  • heat sensitivity of product, cap and container
  • changeover range across the product family

FAQ

Protein Powder Tub Tamper Band Applicator questions

Can this be handled by an automatic sleeve applicator?

Often yes, but the answer depends on container stability, sleeve size, target speed and the required tunnel finish.

Do I need steam or hot air for this application?

The tunnel route depends on the container shape, film material and finish expectations. Shaped and full-body sleeves often need more careful tunnel testing.

What should I send for a recommendation?

Send container photos, dimensions, sleeve artwork or band height, target output, line layout and any tamper-evident requirements.

Project support
