Shrink labels are and fit snugly around packaging so every contour and every curve of the packaging is entirely covered allowing for a complete 360 degree seamless display for advertising the packaging itself. While traditional labels are flat and therefore leave gaps, and look detached, and shrink labels give full coverage. In retail environments, products compete for attention, and capture the attention of buyers with vibrant prints that contrast the background. Under lighting, the shrink labelled packaging is highly visible, therefore the scenery, the name of the product and packaging will pop out to buyers. Seeing the scenery, name and packaging is a bold feature and is useful, especially when products are competing for attention. Shrink labels get the job done especially when it comes to staying visible and bold to the buyers.
Shrink labels offer brands a highly customizable solution to capture a unified label identity, encompassing shape, size, and even tactile characteristics. This enables a beverage company to adopt a label with glossy, bright colors with the intent to fabricate an illusion of freshness, and a premium skincare company to concentrate on an understated shape with muted colors to capture an illusion of luxury. Shrink labels simplify the enforcement of consistent design and branding for cross line products, and they reinforce brand identity. Familiar designs evoke brand associations, driving quicker decisions in consumers.
Shrink labels look attractive and provide essential product information. Their full-coverage design offers sufficient space to add ingredients and nutrition information, product details, and even usage instructions and certification logos (FDA, EU, GRS, etc.). In trust-sensitive markets where food, beverages, and cosmetics are sold, disclosure helps build trust. Information is presented as clearly and legibly as possible so that consumers do not have to struggle to find what they need. For example, frozen food products can use shrink labels to disclose cooking instructions and highlight “no preservatives” claims to appeal to health-conscious consumers.
Shrink labels can endure the complete supply chain, including manufacturing, shipping, storage, and display. They hold up against scratches, smudges, and moisture, so the labels remain in good condition no matter how many times someone handles the product. This is important for the product’s appeal; if the label is faded or poorly maintained, customers may assume the product inside is of poor quality, even if it isn’t. Shrink labels work for refrigerated or damp-storage items like sauces or dairy products because the design won’t peel and moisture resistance keeps the label in good condition. Brands make sure their product stands out from the moment it gets to the store to the moment it gets purchased.
Containers come in many different shapes, whether they be tall beverage bottles, small cosmetic jars, or even snack tubs with irregular shapes. Shrink labels are great at adapting to different shapes and fitting snugly without wrinkling or leaving empty spaces. This means brands are not limited by the design of the container when they are making their labels. For instance, craft beer brands can use a shrink label to accentuate the curved shape of the bottle while displaying the logo and other flavor details. This ability to fit to any container is why many products choose to use shrink labels instead of the flat labels that many competitors use. When a label is designed specifically for the container it goes on, the container gives a polished, cohesive appearance that will entice shoppers.
