Frequently Asked Questions
Popular Question
What is a shrink sleeve machine?
A device that applies heat-sensitive labels to containers, using steam or heat to ensure a snug fit and seamless finish.
Popular Question
Why use a shrink sleeve machine for product labeling?
It offers full-label coverage, enhances brand visibility, and provides durable, tamper-evident packaging.
What types of shrink sleeve materials can the SST Shrink Sleeve Machine use?
Compatible with PVC, PET, and OPS materials, accommodating different labeling requirements.
Is training required to operate the SST Shrink Sleeve Machine?
Minimal to no training is needed due to its user-friendly design, but we offer comprehensive support.
What are the most common hazards when working with shrink sleeves?
One primary hazard is the potential for overheating the shrink film. Applying excessive heat can lead to burn holes in the film, undermining the integrity of the seal around the product and compromising the protective barrier.
What is the difference between shrink wrap and shrink sleeve?
Shrink wrap labels typically cover only the central portion of a container, whereas shrink sleeves envelop the entire container from just below the cap threads to the base, providing a comprehensive labeling solution.
Can you use a hair dryer of heat gun for shrink sleeves?
While a heat gun can be used due to its higher temperatures, both it and a hair dryer are generally inefficient and less precise compared to using the SST Shrink Sleeve Machine, which offers even heat distribution and optimal shrink quality without the risk of damaging the sleeve.
What are the advantages to shrink sleeves?
Shrink sleeves offer full-body coverage for enhanced brand visibility, fit various container shapes, and include tamper-evident seals for product security. They are also highly durable against moisture and abrasion, ensuring that branding remains intact and visible throughout the product's lifecycle.
What are the maintenance requirements for a shrink sleeve machine?
Routine maintenance included cleaning steam paths for calcium, rust and lime dependent on the quality of water being used. View our SST reFresh Kit.
How much is shipping?
We offer free shipping to customers within the contiguous US48 and Canada. Shipping costs will vary amongst customers outside the free shipping zones.
When will my shrink sleeve machine be shipped?
