Printed cardboard sleeves or belly bands can provide your packaging with increased flexibility, whilst capturing consumer attention and driving sales too.



With bright, bold colours – as well as your branding – printed sleeves can allow you to consolidate your packaging boxes (reducing costs) and differentiate between varying ranges packaged in the same outer cartons. They are also ideal for short lived promotions, seasonal information, and special offers.

Cardboard sleeves provide your business with a great deal of flexibility too.  Firstly, they can help with rationalising / consolidating your packaging inventory.

Rather than having a wide variation of printed packaging to cover all of your different products, it is possible to package multiple products within a streamlined range of boxes. The sleeves effectively allow for the specific items / ranges to then be identified.

This simplification of your packaging inventory can significantly reduce costs through economies of scale, as well as simplifying processes for your manufacturing and packing teams.

Similarly, sleeves can be used for adding extra information to existing packs. This could, for example, include details of seasonal promotions, competitions, product updates and special offers etc.

 

Paper packaging sleeves can be wrapped directly around an object - like a soap bar or a pair of socks
