Design shrink sleeve labels in Adobe Illustrator

Toolkit for Shrink Sleeves is a unique application to simulate a heat shrink sleeve around one or more objects.

See in Adobe® Illustrator® how your artwork will distort and automatically apply a counter distortion, based on substrate specifications. Produce great looking 3D PDF files and avoid trial-and-error. Print your shrink sleeve packaging the first time right, every time.

Compensate for shrinking

Getting artwork for heat shrink packaging and labels right, is a tough job. As the film shrinks, the branding and the design can be seriously compromised, rendering the packaging or labels useless.

Artwork for shrink sleeve packaging needs to be repositioned and compensated for the shrink factor of the substrate. Without Esko’s Studio 3D view, you are working blind.
