Packaging sleeves are an effective way to enhance the branding of your custom boxes and products. Not only do they provide an extra layer of protection, but they also offer a prime space for showcasing your brand and conveying product information. Paper sleeves are paper-based, but recyclability depends on the board, inks, coatings, laminations and adhesives you choose, and plastic lamination or soft-touch film reduces it.
