A cylindrical tin with a label wrapping the full circumference

Wrap around labels

A wrap around label circles the container completely, overlapping itself so there is no exposed substrate. It gives most of the visual coverage of a sleeve on a straight-sided container, at pressure sensitive prices.

How it works

The label is sized so that it laps onto its own leading edge. That overlap has to bond to the printed surface rather than to the container, which makes adhesive choice and any surface varnish in the lap area important.

  • Cylindrical containers

    Straight-sided bottles, tins and tubs where a sleeve would be overkill.

  • Maximum print area

    Effectively the full circumference is usable.

  • No visible substrate

    Useful on containers whose bare surface is unattractive.

  • Cost control

    Cheaper than a shrink sleeve where the container is straight-sided.

What we'll ask you

Answering these up front is the fastest route to an accurate quote.

  • Exact container circumference, since the lap allowance depends on it.
  • Whether the lap area needs to be left free of varnish so the adhesive can key.
  • Whether the container is truly straight-sided — any taper causes wrinkling.
