Product Overview

A printed paperboard sleeve adds branding and required product information to an existing tray, tub, or carton without replacing the base container. It is a practical format for takeaway counters and packaged-food lines that need a fast packing step and a clear front-facing message.

The sleeve is cut to the container’s circumference and can carry ingredients, preparation notes, barcodes, campaign artwork, and a closing tab where needed. Common applications include bakery trays, meal-prep packs, snack bars, and deli containers; the board and coating are selected after the packed food and contact conditions are known.
