Top Trends Shaping the Sleeve Label Market:

• Growing Sustainability trend

There is a growing sustainability trend in the sleeve label market due to growing concern over environmental degradation caused by traditional plastic-based sleeve label materials. 

Numerous market players are strategizing in this growing sustainability trend to capitalize on the changing market. For example, in May 2024, TOYOBO introduced “ReCrysta”, a PET film for shrink labels. It has been recognized for APR Design for recyclability by the Association of Plastic Recyclers. 

• Integration of advanced security features

There is a growing integration of advanced security features like UV protection and tracking systems such as RFID Chips and QR codes. UV protection features help extend the shelf life of products. Tracking systems such as RFID and QR Codes improve supply chain transparency through real-time monitoring and product authenticity, respectively. 

For example, Flint Group Narrow Web’s Evolution Series of UV-flexo coatings are designed to improve the recyclability of shrink sleeve and pressure-sensitive labels by integrating advanced security and sustainability features.

Sleeve Label Market Growth Drivers vs. Challenges:

Opportunities:

• Growing demand for packing driving the market: There is growing demand for packaging from various industries such as food and beverage, personal care and cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, among many others, driving the demand for sleeve labels. This allows manufacturers to increase the shelf-life of products while enabling targeted branding of the company. 
• The demand for increased shelf life: Sleeve labels are projected to grow in popularity due to the rising demand for long-term shelf life of products. These labels are generally made from high-barrier materials, offering protection from light, moisture, and oxygen, extending the products’ shelf-life. 

Challenges:

• Sustainability issue leading to increasing environmental regulations: The Sleeve labels are commonly manufactured from materials such as HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), which pose various environmental hazards. Hence, the EU and FDA regulations restrict the use of such harmful chemicals, thereby posing a serious challenge to the sleeve label market.
