shrink sleeve
Start a US procurement brief for shrink sleeve by locking film, shrink ratio, lay-flat width, neck finish, print status, quantity unit and destination before any factory is asked to quote. Shrink Sleeve Sourcing compares wholesale replies on that written basis. It does not sell sleeves from stock or publish a discount percentage.

What belongs on one RFQ line
A 2026-09-20 Ahrefs US matching-term export recorded informational, commercial and transactional labels on shrink sleeve. That observation is search-intent context, not a ranking claim. ISO ICS 55.020 supplies packaging-unit vocabulary (pieces, rolls, cartons). It is not a factory certificate.
| Check | PETG full-body sleeve | PVC promotional band |
|---|---|---|
| Typical duty | Beverage or personal-care bottles that need 360-degree graphics and a high shrink ratio around the contour | Neck or mid-body promotional bands where a shorter height and lower film cost matter more than full wrap |
| Gauge to write | Often 40–50 μm; confirm the steam or electric tunnel window in μm and mil | Often 40–70 μm; a thicker band is not a substitute for a full-body PETG construction |
| Shrink ratio | State MD and TD percentages the tunnel can actually run, not a catalog maximum | Usually applied to a shorter height; do not copy a full-body shrink ratio onto a band |
| Neck finish | Write the bottle neck finish (for example 28-400) and whether the sleeve must clear or cover the closure | Write band height in mm and the diameter at the application zone |
| Documents | Migration testing and food-contact files if contents are food or beverage | Resin SDS plus food-contact files only if the PVC grade is specified for food |
A 2026-09-15 observation of the public Packhelp quote brief shows a specification-first path. That page is a process reference. It is not this site's factory network, inventory, or lead time.
Where buyers usually start
HDPE handles and recessed panels change lay-flat width. State handle cut-out if required.
Band height and perforation are separate from a full-body sleeve. Keep them on different quote lines.
Edge crush test or burst of the carton is a different RFQ from the sleeve film itself.
