Precision Die-Cut Carton Sleeves
Custom packaging sleeves—also referred to as custom printed packaging sleeves, paperboard packaging sleeves, custom box sleeves, carton sleeves, or belly band packaging—are engineered paperboard wraps designed to slide over products, trays, or primary boxes. As a direct manufacturer, PM Packaging produces printed belly bands for boxes and paper sleeves for boxes and trays to give your products a high-end presentation, enable cost-effective SKU varianting, and reduce total material usage.
We specialize strictly in paperboard packaging sleeves and paper sleeves for boxes and trays.
Note: If you require heat-shrink plastic film labels for bottles, that is shrink sleeve technology. PM Packaging manufactures structured, eco-friendly paperboard sleeves and belly band packaging. Eco sleeve packaging is supported through 100% recyclable, plastic-free paperboard options.
