Stretch sleeves
Stretch sleeves are a sustainable and cost-effective way for brands to achieve 360-degree product decoration on bottles, cans, and jars. With no adhesive or heat required for application, they provide full-body label appeal across a wide range of markets — while supporting recyclability and reducing environmental impact.
Our stretch sleeves are made with linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), offering the high elasticity (30–40%) needed to conform to highly contoured containers. We can incorporate a perforation for tamper-evidence or to help consumers remove the sleeve prior to recycling the container.
Sustainable Stretch Sleeve Solutions
At C-P Flexible Packaging, we proudly offer recyclable stretch sleeve labels that align with APR guidance and contribute to a circular packaging system.
- Mono-material PE construction – Enables recyclability with compatible rigid containers like HDPE bottles.
- C-Fit™ Stretch Sleeves – All-polyethylene stretch sleeves that meet recyclability requirements when paired with HDPE containers.
- Available with surface or reverse printed film, using wash-off inks for a clean recycling stream.
Stretch sleeves are an ideal solution for brands looking to reduce label waste, improve recyclability, and simplify their application process — without compromising design or performance.
