Printpack prints shrink and roll-fed labels, tamper-evident bands and heat shrinkable sleeves for multipacks in up to 10 colors using flexographic and rotogravure printing. For example, ZN brain-boosting energy drink from Fuzzee Bee Beverage Co. is packaged in a unique patent-protected rocket-shaped bottle decorated with a shrink sleeve label. The all black background makes a strong visual impact leading customers to associate the bottle with the brand. The label is printed on Pure Affinia PETG, enabling the label to shrink to the curves of the bottle, which tapers more than 75% at the top.
