Sleeve applicator and steam tunnel system for full-body shrink labeling of bottles

Shrink sleeve labeling enables full-body decoration and tamper evidence, requiring precise sleeve application followed by controlled heat shrinking.

Apply shrink sleeves and fix labels with controlled steam heat tunnels

The Elektromag M-SLV-A02 combined with the M-TNL-A01 steam tunnel forms a sleeve labeling system for high-speed application and shrinking of full-body labels on bottles and containers.

The sleeve applicator positions sleeves onto containers in continuous motion, while the steam tunnel applies controlled heat to shrink the sleeve uniformly around the product. This ensures tight fitting, consistent label appearance, and secure sealing.

The system supports a wide range of container shapes and sleeve materials, and is suitable for high-capacity packaging lines requiring decorative and functional labeling.
