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.
