Lid band position
The sleeve must sit consistently over the lid, rim or cap so the final pack looks intentional.

Jars, pots and tubs
Sleeving routes for jars, tubs, lids and shorter containers.
Jar and tub sleeving projects often focus on tamper-evident lid bands, decorative body sleeves or promotional sleeves. Shorter containers may require careful handling because the sleeve has less vertical guidance and the lid or rim can affect shrink behaviour.
When a sleeve sits over a lid or upper rim, perforation, consumer opening, shrink tightness and final appearance should be considered before the applicator and tunnel are selected.
Typical projects
- Jar lid tamper bands
- Food pot sleeves
- Supplement tub sleeves
- Cosmetic jar seals
- Promotional pack bands
Opening feature
Perforation or tear support should be planned early where the sleeve is part of the consumer opening process.
Product handling
Wide, low, light or unstable containers may need dedicated guides, spacing or transfer methods.
