Full-body steam sleeving and cap sealing
sleeving in Milan
Technology and precision for functional, customized packaging
Steam-applied full-body sleeving and cap-seal sleeving represent the most advanced solutions in shrink-sleeve packaging. At Bio Logistica, specialists in contract packaging and logistics in Milan, we can create high-performance decorative and protective sleeves for bottles, jars and containers of any shape and size.
Thanks to our dedicated equipment and continuous supply chain monitoring, we offer a flexible and precise service, suitable for both large-scale production and small customised batches. The heat-shrink plastic films we use ensure perfect adhesion, mechanical strength and high transparency, enhancing the product’s appearance while protecting it during transport and storage.
The total-body steam sleeving process involves applying a pre-printed tubular plastic film to the product, which is then exposed to heat generated by steam ovens. The heat causes the film to shrink until it perfectly conforms to the surface of the container, following its shape and ensuring a uniform result free from wrinkles or bubbles.
This technology is particularly suitable for bottles and containers of cosmetics, detergents, supplements and medical products, where aesthetics, functionality and safety must be combined.
The steam provides even heat distribution, preventing deformation and preserving the quality of the underlying material. Complete adhesion ensures the stability of the coating, even in humid environments or at fluctuating temperatures.
sleeving, seal and cap application
safety and guaranteed authenticity
In addition to full-body sleeving, we also provide cap-seal sleeving, ideal for sealing packs and bottles in an attractive, tamper-evident way.
This solution, often used in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical sectors, has a dual function: a tamper-evident seal and a brand communication element, since the film can be customised with logos, graphics or identifying text. The result is packaging with a coherent design that conveys a sense of quality and reliability to the end consumer.
Customised shrink films
The films used for sleeve labelling are available in various plastic materials, including PET, PVC and polyolefin, all selected according to the characteristics of the product to be covered and the desired degree of transparency or opacity. Each film can be printed in multiple colours with high-definition graphics, becoming a genuine decorative label or an informative covering that complies with industry regulations.
The film can cover the entire body of the container (full body) or only a specific section, such as the top or bottom, depending on aesthetic or functional requirements. This level of customisation makes it possible to create unique packaging that enhances product recognition at the point of sale.
sleeving application
Our steam-applied full-body sleeving and cap-seal sleeving lines are used across numerous manufacturing sectors:
- Cosmetics and make-up: bottles for creams, lotions, cleansers and fragrances;
- Pharmaceutical and medical: containers for medical devices and supplements;
- Chemical and industrial: cleaning products, solvents and disinfectants;
- Food & beverage: bottles and jars requiring a hygienic and decorative seal.
The versatility of sleeve labelling allows the technique to be adapted to any geometry, improving both product protection and its visual appeal.
quality, flexibility and process control
Each stage of sleeve labelling is monitored by vision inspection systems that verify graphic alignment and correct film shrinkage.
Thanks to our operational flexibility, we can manage production runs of all sizes, from prototypes to large series, while maintaining high standards of quality and punctuality. The entire process is tracked and documented, ensuring repeatability, compliance and safety for every order.
