Rotogravure shrink label printing is the flexible packaging industry’s highest quality printing process.

We have refined and engineered this 100-year-old technology to create the fastest, most consistent shrink label printing with the highest level of image reproduction. Rotogravure printing utilizes lower cost inks but delivers more ink to substrates, resulting in beautiful, saturated colors.

Color options are limitless—from metallic to fluorescents—with PMS spot color accuracy. The rotary method of applying ink to the film in the rotogravure process renders your art in high definition with no degradation of image quality despite running in massive volumes.

In addition to the benefits of low-cost high production runs, accuracy and repeatability of quality printing, rotogravure is ideal for shrink sleeve printing since it provides the precise control required to print on the thinnest of shrink films.

Shrink label printing goes beyond the standard printing process, requiring a higher level of finesse—the ability to create two-dimensional art for a three-dimensional surface. Sleeve Seal’s experienced staff provides this expertise as well as timely proofs to ensure your label looks its best.

Shrink Label Printing Design

Once your design is complete, Sleeve Seal provides either a digital or printed proof so you can review and refine your design before any ink is applied to our high-quality substrate materials.

We print on PETG, OPS and PVC film materials with up to eight colors on our state-of-the-art rotogravure presses. We adhere to the strictest quality control standards from start to finish for the best results. From the production of raw materials, the engraving of high-speed precision printing cylinders, to the final output, we meet our customers’ requirements for price and delivery time.

Through the use of thinner substrates, we embrace sustainability while simultaneously realizing cost savings. With the same high-end look as other films, we are able to offer labels as thin as 20 microns—half the thickness of standard sleeve labels.

PVC is the most common shrink film type in the market today. Raw materials are readily available due to applications in other industries, and PVC remains a “proven” performer for shrink sleeves. Excellent optical clarity, high shrink rates at lower temperatures and durability make PVC film a popular choice.
