An Apparel Sleeve is a printed paperboard wrap that bands a folded garment or boxed apparel item for retail display. Each Apparel Sleeve slides over the product as an open-ended band and is custom-printed full-color to carry your brand, sizing, and care details.
Because the sleeve wraps rather than encloses, it keeps material and cost low while still giving shelf-ready branding, and it lets the fabric stay visible on both ends. Printed sizing and care copy on the sleeve also cuts the number of separate tags you need. A common use-case is banding folded tees or knitwear so a wall display reads as one consistent line.
