Pressure Sensitive Labels vs Shrink Sleeve Labels 

Designing a new product or updating your branding? We work closely with you from early in development through application to ensure a smooth, worry-free project from start to finish, printing labels that will be easy to apply and highlight your brand on shelf.

Pressure-sensitive labels perform best on smooth, solid surfaces such as plastic, glass, or aluminum bottles or jars. They can be commonly seen on fast-moving consumer goods in categories including personal care and beauty, household products, food, beverages, spirits, and animal care.

Shrink sleeves are 360-degree labels that are applied with heat and can be produced to fit like a glove on a wide variety of shapes and textures in all of our markets. 

Sustainable Packaging

At Steinhauser, we have found that sustainability means many different things to different people. We listen to your needs and objectives and work with you to achieve your goals whether it is minimizing materials used, reducing waste, saving energy, APR guidelines for recycling, and more.
