Containers and Tube Packaging
Tubes and containers are a demanding group for labelling because of their narrow, curved surfaces. The available area is limited, yet the requirement for ingredients, warnings and multilingual text is usually high.
This is where booklet labels and shrink sleeves come in. A multi-page label applied to a narrow body multiplies the content area several times over without changing the diameter of the tube.
Key features
- Curved surface compatibilityAdhesive and film selection that will not lift on small-diameter bodies.
- More content in less spaceBooklet construction creates a wide text area on a limited surface.
- Chemical resistanceSurfaces resistant to creams, ointments and oily contents.
- Full wrapUninterrupted 360° visual area with shrink sleeves.

Let us start with a sample. Before series production we print a digital sample and recommend testing it on your own filling line where possible. Folding structure, legibility and adhesive performance are then verified before production starts.
