Sleeve Labeling Machine
Automatic sleeve labeling solutions for water bottles, beverages and FMCG containers. Choose a suitable configuration according to bottle dimensions, sleeve material and production capacity.
Sleeve Labeling Machine for Bottles
A Sleeve Labeling Machine feeds, cuts and applies shrink sleeve film around compatible bottles and containers. A suitable shrink tunnel then uses controlled heat to form the sleeve around the package.
The system can be configured for full-body branding, partial sleeves or tamper-evident neck bands. Bottle shape, film dimensions and required output help determine the right configuration.

Send Your RequirementSleeve Labeling Machine FAQs
What is a Sleeve Labeling Machine?
It cuts and applies shrinkable film sleeves around compatible bottles or containers. A shrink tunnel can heat the film so it conforms to the container.
What is the machine's production speed?
Output depends on bottle dimensions, sleeve length and machine configuration. Confirm the required BPM against your actual packaging application.
Which sleeve materials can be used?
Common options include PVC, PET, PETG and OPS. Other films may be suitable when compatible with the machine and heating process.
Can the machine apply neck sleeves?
Yes. Suitable configurations can apply neck or tamper-evident sleeves as well as full-body and partial-body sleeves.
Is a shrink tunnel required?
A suitable shrink tunnel is required when the film must contract around the container. Tunnel type depends on the film and required finish.
Can it connect to an existing conveyor?
Integration can be planned after checking conveyor height, bottle spacing, available floor space and the required line speed.
