Cardboard Sleeve Packaging is a custom-printed paperboard sleeve that wraps an inner box, tray, or product for brands that want a low-cost branded layer over plain packaging. Each sleeve is printed to your artwork in full-color CMYK.
A sleeve adds a full-color brand face and product copy without re-tooling the box underneath, so you can refresh a look or run a seasonal edition cheaply. It works well over a kraft tray of bath bars or a candle base, holding the contents together while showing your logo and ingredient line on the band.
