Augusta Label adds shrink sleeve machinery
Augusta Label & Printing in Burr Ridge, Illinois, has installed automatic shrink sleeve machinery in response to the evolution of craft brewing and a market demand for alternative packaging trends in the midwest wine markets.
Companies worldwide are growing sales through the use of 360-degree marketing using evolving shrink sleeve technology. With the craft beer market progressing primarily from bottles to more economical, recyclable and cooler-friendly cans, shrink sleeves produce a cleaner look than traditional pressure sensitive labels.
The applicator, combined with the 3 Axis Steam tunnel system will sleeve and shrink more than 50 12oz cans per minute. The company stocks Rexam 12oz and 16oz bullets and growlers.
In addition, this applicator can sleeve 750 ml aluminum wine bottles with screw tops directed at local Midwest wineries. These bottles are also in stock and available for immediate delivery.
Augusta Label is the only decorator in the Chicago metro market dedicated to the craft beer, wine and distillery markets. Click here for a video of the machinery in action.
