As an experienced manufacturer of shrink sleeves – also known as shrink labels – we offer innovative packaging solutions for products in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, food, beverage, and many other industries. We combine strong brand impact with recyclable sleeve solutions that meet current and future requirements for sustainable packaging.
Our printed shrink sleeves enable full-surface decoration in a full-body design and transform every package into a real eye-catcher at the point of sale. The film is processed into a tube and applied to the container with a precise fit using hot air or steam. The result: a sleeve that fits your product like a second skin – for a secure hold, reliable protection of authenticity, and maximum advertising impact.
Our rPET and C-PET sleeves are recyclable and help to minimize your ecological footprint. What's more, our shrink film labels are perfectly compatible with our own sleeve packaging machines, sleeve shrink tunnels, and sleeve steam tunnels – for a smooth packaging process from a single source.
Our recyclable shrink sleeves are customisable, flexible and perfectly tailored to your requirements. The sleeves adhere to the product solely through shrinkage and can be removed without leaving any residue thanks to tear-off perforation. The opaque film provides protection from light and/or visibility.

Our rPET shrink sleeves are made entirely or partially from recycled PET and offer an environmentally friendly, sustainable packaging solution for PET bottles, tubes, and cans. They can be individually printed and are suitable for hot air and steam shrink processes, making them ideal for eye-catching full-body designs at the point of sale.
Advantages of rPET shrink sleeves:
Use of recycled PET for an improved carbon footprint Fully printable for customized packaging design Compatible with hot air and steam shrink processes Cost-effective solution for standard applications Important note on recyclability: rPET shrink sleeves do not automatically separate from the PET bottle during the recycling process. Acceptance by retailers, brands, and recyclers depends on the overall PET recycling system. rPET is ideal when the focus is on material recycling and CO₂ savings.
C-PET shrink sleeves are the future-proof solution for sustainable shrink sleeve packaging. They are made from high-quality virgin PET and specially developed for optimal recycling. C-PET sleeves are printable, compatible with hot air and steam shrink processes, and enable clean PET bottle recycling.
Advantages of C-PET shrink sleeves:
We are a licensed DPG system partner and produce printed shrink sleeves including deposit markings – precisely, legally compliant, and recyclable. Thanks to state-of-the-art printing technology, we seamlessly integrate the DPG logo into your sleeve design and guarantee maximum machine readability in the return process.
Technical requirements for the DPG deposit logo To ensure that your product is correctly recognized by the deposit machine, the following criteria must be observed:
Placement: Above the EAN barcode in the so-called “ladder format” Minimum sizes: Without quiet zone: 10 × 13 mm With quiet zone: 14 × 16 mm Printing inks: Certified special inks in accordance with DPG guidelines Materials: Surface resistant to abrasion, moisture, and transport Positioning: No creases, seams, or perforations in the logo area We would be happy to advise you on the optimal implementation for your individual product: info_at_tbs-pack.de
Our innovative shrink sleeves made of POF (polyolefin) are particularly environmentally friendly and impress with their excellent recyclability. Thanks to their low density, the sleeves can be easily separated from PET bottle material in modern recycling plants.
How the float-sink process works:
While the heavier PET bottles sink in the water bath, our lightweight POF sleeves remain on the surface. This physical separation enables efficient recovery of the PET material – an important step towards single-type recycling and greater sustainability.
