Here’s a structured breakdown for printing sleeves in white color with thicknesses ranging from 1.5mm to 10mm:
1. Material Options for White Printing Sleeves
Polyester (PET): Common for flexographic/rotogravure printing, good for thin sleeves (1.5–3mm).
Polypropylene (PP): Lightweight, used for mid-range thickness (3–6mm).
Nylon/Composite: For heavy-duty or high-precision sleeves (6–10mm).
Foam-Core Sleeves: Lightweight with shock absorption (3–8mm).
2. Printing Techniques
Flexographic Printing: Ideal for thinner sleeves (1.5–5mm), uses photopolymer plates.
Rotogravure Printing: High-quality prints for mid-to-thick sleeves (3–10mm).
Digital Printing: Best for short runs/variable designs (1.5–6mm).
3. Thickness Guidelines
1.5–3mm: Thin, flexible sleeves for labels/packaging.
3–6mm: Balanced durability for mid-sized print runs.
6–10mm: Robust sleeves for industrial/large-format printing.
4. Surface Treatment for White Base
Primer Coating: Ensures ink adhesion (critical for white backgrounds).
Gloss/Matte Finish: Adjust based on application (e.g., glossy for vibrancy).
5. Applications
1.5–3mm: Labels, flexible packaging.
3–6mm: Corrugated boxes, shrink sleeves.
6–10mm: Heavy-duty industrial printing, large-format graphics.
6. Suppliers & Customization
Key Suppliers: Rotec, Tesa, Rossini (offer custom white sleeves).
MOQ: Varies; sample sleeves often available for testing.
7. Cost Factors
Thicker sleeves (>6mm) cost more due to material usage.
