Food Packaging Sleeves are printed paperboard sleeve wraps that slide around trays, containers, and bakery items for restaurants, meal-prep brands, and grocery lines that want branded packaging without a full box. Each sleeve is custom-printed to your size and artwork.
A sleeve adds a printed brand band to packaging you already use, so you upgrade the look without retooling your whole line. It holds a lid or wrap in place during transport and gives you room to print ingredients, a logo, and a story on one piece. Use sleeves on burrito and sandwich wraps, ready-meal trays, soap-style bakery bundles, or seasonal grocery items.
