At SystemPAK, we specialise in producing high-quality, custom cardboard sleeves for food containers that help your products stand out on the shelf, in store, or at the counter.

Why Choose Cardboard Sleeves?

Cardboard sleeves are a flexible and cost-effective solution for food packaging. They not only add a premium touch to your product but also serve practical purposes like product identification, labelling, and compliance.

Here’s why they’re a smart addition to your packaging:

• Branding made easy – Show off your logo, brand colours, and product information with full-colour, professional-grade print options.
• Eco-conscious option – Our cardboard sleeves are recyclable, making them a sustainable choice for eco-friendly brands.
• Versatile use – Ideal for meal prep containers, takeaways, frozen meals, dips, boxed snacks, and more.
• Secure and snug – Each sleeve is designed to fit your container perfectly for a polished finish that stays in place.

Self-Adhesive Labels vs Cardboard Sleeves – Which Should You Choose?

If you’re deciding between self-adhesive labels and cardboard sleeves, it really comes down to the look and function you need. Labels are ideal for minimal branding or ingredient info. But if you want a sleek, retail-ready presentation that wraps around your container and communicates your brand story, a bespoke sleeve is the way to go.

The bonus? At SystemPAK, you can mix and match – use a sleeve for the main branding, and a label for nutritional or regulatory info. We’ll help you get the balance right.

Fully Customisable Printing Options

No two food brands are the same – which is why our cardboard sleeves are completely customisable. Whether you’re after something bold and vibrant or subtle and elegant, we offer a wide range of finishes and print styles to bring your brand vision to life:

• Full-Colour Printing
• Pantone Spot Colour Printing
• Foil Block Printing
• Embossing & Debossing
• Spot UV Varnish
• Matt, Gloss, Soft-Touch & Anti-Scuff Lamination
•  Die-Cutting to your exact shape and size
• Digital & Litho Printing – from 1,000 units and up, no upper limit!

We also offer in-house design support, so if you’re not sure where to start or need help fine-tuning your artwork, our creative team is ready to help.

Designed to Fit Your Packaging

Our sleeves are specially created to complement our tamper-evident containers and packaging solutions. Every sleeve is measured and cut to fit securely and comfortably around your chosen container – so it won’t slip, slide, or shift in transit.
