Shrink sleeves remain a customer favourite and for good reason, this daring alternative to standard self-adhesive labels offer 360 degree exposure, and with unlimited design opportunities your product becomes your marketing platform. Additionally, as demand forecasting becomes trickier and Sku volumes smaller, shrink sleeves allow for greater Sku flexibility and serves as an efficient alternative to printed bottles and cans.

The production of shrink sleeves is highly technical with little margin for error. As a result, precision and quality is of utmost importance throughout the production process, which is why SA Litho has invested in state-of-the-art equipment.

Our AccraSeam Shrink Sleeve Seamer perfectly seams material and holds industry lay-flat tolerances at 600m/h, making it the fastest commercially-available seamer. The accompanying DM12 Shrink Sleeve inspector boasts an automatic seam inspection capability, delivering predictable quality.

To guarantee our customers’ satisfaction with the end result, when launching new products or artwork, we make use of our digital print capabilities and an in-house shrink application technique to provide them with physical product to sample and proof before commencing with production runs.

Furthermore, our digital print capabilities accommodate shorter runs and provide a platform for clients to create customised customer experiences using the packaging as a voice piece. Our cutting edge flexo print technology is suited to medium and longer print runs, so whether you’re a large volume producer or a niche contender, we’ll help your brand stand tall.

Our experience in servicing a host of different product markets means that we understand the unique requirements associated with each market and are able to meet them consistently.

Despite having the latest technology and a specialised team, it’s the end result that matters most and that means that quality always comes first. We comply with the most stringent of industry standards. We are a BEE Level 4 vendor and are FSSC 22 000 and FSC Certified.

The proof is in the pudding;

The ability to provide 360 degree decoration ensures we achieve the shelf impact expected as a market leader. To consistently achieve cosmetic quality standards in shrink sleeving is not easy and we therefore choose to work with organisations like SA Litho Label Printers, that not only have the print capability but, as importantly, the conversion capability allowing them to consistently provide a high quality sleeve suitable for automatic application.” Says Nathan Bradley – Innovation, Packaging Development & Strategic Sourcing at Indigo Brands.
