Packaging sleeve
A packaging sleeve is an open-ended wrap that fits around a product, tray or inner box.
What it means in packaging
It can provide branding and hold a set together while leaving the ends exposed. The fit depends on the wrapped object, material thickness and seam. A sleeve alone usually provides less containment than a closed carton.
A practical example
A printed paperboard sleeve wraps around a soap bar or an unprinted tray to add product information.
What to check
Try the finished material over the actual item and allow for sliding clearance without an excessively loose fit.
