DECORATIVE SLEEVES
Our printed decorative Shrink Sleeves offer the opportunity for both 360-degree graphics and also ‘top to toe’ decoration of a product container. Our decorative Sleeves can be seamlessly applied to almost any shape of product container and come in a variety of different environmentally friendly materials. They offer full freedom to a brand from a design perspective allowing fully customisable product packaging.
Our Shrink Sleeves can be applied to the total container as a full-body sleeve or to part of it as a partial-body sleeve. Watershed supplies both UV Flexo and Offset Litho-printed Sleeves to ensure the best print results and competitive pricing for all projects, from start-ups to long-run requirements.
promotional sleeves
Watershed’s promotional Shrink Sleeves are a great way to hold multiple items together for added point of sale appeal.
Promotional Shrink Sleeves can be printed or unprinted and are also supplied as cut singles. They can be applied to two or more products appealing to consumers, leading to increased sales through offering additional sample products or with a ‘buy one, get one free’ promotion.
tamper evident sleeves
Available from Watershed Packaging as either cut Sleeves or supplied in reel form for automated application. They can be applied individually or in combination with a full-body application.
Tamper Evident Sleeves can either be printed or supplied as a lower cost plain Sleeve option. Watershed’s tamper-evident Sleeves help protect your customers, your brand and your reputation by providing a tight seal over the closure of a bottle or container.
Sleeve machinery
Watershed’s fully automatic range of Shrink Sleeve Applicators enables our clients to apply Sleeves onto a wide range of container shapes and size. Our high quality and highly efficient applicators apply decorative full body Sleeves or alternatively tamper evident Sleeves, onto plastic or glass containers.
contract sleeving
We also provide a contract sleeving solution. We can print and apply your Sleeve onto any container or bottle that you provide, or we can source the bottles for you.
We apply Sleeves onto bottles/containers in-house at our Leeds production facility. The Sleeves can be applied individually or in combination with a full body application.
