Labels

Characteristics

All our Shrink Sleeve Labels are gravure printed in up to 10 colors, allowing to include matte & effects on a single label. The printing process is realized in Taiwan under high quality standards.



Dase-Seal Shrink Packaging Technology is one of the world's few Shrink Sleeve Integral suppliers. We extrude the film, print the labels, both in the inside & the outside with double printing for transparent products, we produce Cap Seals, Double Sleeved labels, and also manufacture the Labelling Machines and both Electrical and Steam Heat Shrink Tunnels.


Shrink Sleeve Labels are sold per 1000 units and we offer PVCs with 50%, 58% or 63% of Shrinkage. If higher Shrinkage is needed, we offer 70% PET & OPS Higher percentage raises production costs. We offer labels with adhesive, which is activated by heat, for conical containers.

Shrink Sleeve technology is suitable for 360° wrapping, that is, the whole packaging surface is suitable for the most complex applications and bottle formats, whether it is made out of metal, plastic, etc… with different diameters along the bottleneck, even to cover the seal.


Being gravure printed, labels need high precision diamond-printed cylinders, and one unit is needed for each color. Labels can be shipped in rolls or pre-cut, at the same price. The packaging allows us to successfully isolate labels from the heat so they can be exported to warmer countries like Iran, Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, Brazil, Thailand, etc… Labels should be stored under 20°C in a ventilated place not exposed to sunlight. If the client needs Sample Proof Printing for color approval, about 50 pre-cut labels are sent via DHL.



Design

We advise the label's artwork procedure and perform a detailed distortion analysis before cylinder engraving in order to determine what texts or images fall under risk of distortion after Shrinkage. With this analysis, alongside client’s approval. We proceed to cylinder engraving for Sample Proof printing, followed by the complete order and delivery.

Sample Proofs do have a cost which includes the set up of the Labelling machine, the cost of the film and the delivery of approximately 50 units via DHL so that the client can approve colors for printing the order.

This step delays initial development by ~2 weeks. Due to the process of printing, sending and waiting for feedback of the sample proofs.

Once the artwork is approved with texts on Illustrator & images on Photoshop at 500 d.p.i, initial development times is roughly 2 months, consisting of:

   – Distortion Analysis & Client approval: 5 days.
   – Gravure: from 1 day up to 10 days depending on the amount of cylinders.
   – Printing: 21 days.
   – Shipping: from 16 days up to 30 days depending of the destination. (By Ship)

Promotional


We offer innovative promoting alternatives in our Shrink Sleeve labels such as:

  – Magic Window:   It is a label with a transparent window/circle that, if the product hasn’t been consumed then it’s not possible to see towards the other side, however, once consumed, it can be seen towards the internal opposite side, and thus see an impression that shows if the customer is the winner of a certain prize. or simply show a "keep participating” message.

  – Double Sleeve:   Double label joined in the center, made to measure for two bottles of the same or different shape and diameter, which can be printed in up to 12 colors. This innovative concept allows two bottles or containers to be joined for a promotion, without need to use adhesive tapes that leave the container or bottle with glue, thus avoiding an improvised promotional image and, in addition, giving an excellent impression and image to the customer.

  – Special Dates or Events:   We have high printing technology to print photos of well-known characters (such as Santa Claus, soccer players, celebrities, etc…) with low minimum quantities to print, making it easy to carry out an attractive promotion including change in labels for events such as: Christmas, Olympic Games, World Cup, etc…

  – Double Sided Labels:   This system is only used for transparent products such as water, shampoo, oil, etc. It’s printed on both the inside and outside of the label, therefore giving a three-dimensional effect, innovative and attractive to the customer.
