Custom Packaging Sleeves (Belly Bands)
Design your own packaging sleeves for a stylish and affordable way to brand your products, without paying for a fully printed box. Use them to bundle invitations or give your handmade soap a polished look. These custom belly bands feel premium and show your customers they are getting something special.
Branded Packaging Sleeves
Choose packaging sleeves, also known as belly bands, to wrap cups, bowls, boxes, jars, soaps, mailers, or any other items you need.
Why Choose Sleeves Over Custom Boxes?
Packaging sleeves are a cost-effective and flexible option instead of fully custom boxes. They let you brand standard packaging without needing large orders, help cut down on materials, and make it easy to update designs for promotions or seasonal changes. This makes sleeves a great choice for fast-moving food, retail, and e-commerce brands.
Cost Efficiency
Save costs by updating your seasonal branding or limited edition scents without having to throw away your current plain box inventory.
Sustainability
Make your packaging more sustainable by using smaller strips of recycled material instead of covering the whole surface. This helps lower your environmental impact.
Versatility
A single sleeve size can often work for several product variations, making your fulfillment process simpler.
Visual Contrast
Combining a matte-finish sleeve with a high-gloss box gives your packaging a unique look and feel that standard printing can’t match.
The "Unboxing" Difference: Texture and Fit
When you slide a well-fitted sleeve off a product, you should feel a smooth glide, not a struggle. We use 10pt to 16pt cardstock because it stays crisp around corners and is flexible enough to prevent cracking. Thinner paper often wrinkles during shipping, but our premium sleeves keep their shape from the warehouse all the way to your doorstep.
Built to Last in Everyday Use
We know how annoying it is when sleeves slip off or tear during shipping. That’s why our sleeves have carefully placed crease lines to keep them secure. For items like meal prep containers, we use moisture-resistant coatings so they stay strong and keep their color, even in the fridge.

We want to answer your most common questions about custom-printed packaging sleeves and share useful information.
See all FAQsHow do I measure my product for a perfect sleeve fit?
For a snug but easy fit, wrap a strip of paper around your item and mark where it overlaps to find the full girth. Add 1/16 inch to your measurement to allow for the cardstock’s thickness. This helps the sleeve slide on smoothly without pinching your product.
Can I use packaging sleeves for food items?
Yes, you can use sleeves for food items, but it depends on how you use them. If the sleeve will touch the food, you need to use FDA-approved, food-safe materials. For sleeves that go over sealed containers or wrapped items, our standard premium cardstocks are a popular choice because they are durable and print well.
Do these come pre-glued or flat?
To save you on shipping costs, we ship sleeves flat to keep shipping costs low and prevent damage. You can also choose to have strong adhesive tape already on the ends, so you just peel and stick them together. Assembly takes less than three seconds per sleeve.
