Our facilities include the most advanced equipment for applying sleeves to bottles, jars or other packaging, either automatically or manually.
Quality Control and Research & Development
All sleeves undergo rigorous quality tests to guarantee resistance and performance, including numerous checks and verifications. We invest continually in research and development to provide innovative, high-quality solutions tailored to our clients’ needs.
How Do We Work?
Step 1
We receive the unlabelled or bulk product and apply the pre-manufactured sleeve, either supplied by us or by the client.
Step 2
After sleeve application, the product is re-packed. It may also undergo additional labelling, handling or grouping, depending on logistical requirements.
Step 3
All products are packed with maximum care to protect materials from temperature fluctuations. We ensure full legal and logistical compliance to maintain ideal product conditions.
Step 4
Products are then placed on pallets and returned to the client or shipped directly to retail or logistics centres
