Sleever says the Glassleeve system “guarantees the inalterability of the decoration despite a wide variety of external aggressions”. It utilises a specially designed thermoplastic mono-oriented elastomer TPE-S 40 and 50µm film developed to “resist the significant mechanical constraints undergone by decoration throughout the supply chain” combined with helio-engraving based on “new generation”, low energy solvent-free inks. Sleever says it “represents a perfect alternative” to traditional surface techniques (including lacquering, satin effects, opalisation and dyeing), all in a single operation.
The automated process is carried out on the latest Sleever Powersleeve Evolution machines, which can sleeve up to 24,000 bottles/hour “at optimum quality”. Glassleeve is available on both heat-shrink (Powersteam) and infrared (Powerskinner) versions.
