Custom Sleeves
Custom sleeves give businesses a practical way to brand a box, jar, cup, or individual product with a fitted wraparound structure that stays visible without changing what is underneath. Add your logo and brand colors through custom printing on paperboard, kraft, or shrink film.
Custom Boxes Deals makes this sleeve packaging in house for food, cosmetic, candle, and retail brands across the USA. Send us the product and your artwork, and you get a quote back within one business day.
Final pricing depends on dimensions, material, printing, finishing and quantity.

Which Sleeve Should You Choose?
Custom sleeves come in six main styles: box sleeve, belly band, container band, cone sleeve, window sleeve, and shrink sleeve. Box sleeves and belly bands suit rectangular packaging. Container bands fit round or curved shapes like jars and cups. Cone sleeves suit ice cream and food service items. Window sleeves solve for shelf visibility, and shrink sleeves solve for a fully sealed fit.
Build this as a three column table on the page. Style, best for, how it fits.
- Box sleeve. Boxes, trays, mailers. Scored wrap slides over the base and lid.
- Belly band. Cards, soap, bundled items. Narrow band wraps around the middle.
- Container band. Jars, cups, bottles, candles. Custom band shaped to a round or curved surface.
- Cone sleeve. Ice cream cones, food service. Wraps a tapered shape without crushing it.
- Window sleeve. Retail shelves. Die cut opening leaves the product visible.
- Shrink sleeve. Full coverage seals. Heat applied, shrinks tight to the container’s shape.
Custom Box Sleeve and Sleeve And Tray Box Packaging suit rectangular boxes and trays where the sleeve slides over a base and lid.
Belly Band Sleeves and Belly Band Packaging suit cards, soap, and bundled items where a narrow wrap is all the branding needs.
Candle Jar Sleeve suits jars and other round containers where the band has to follow a curved surface.
Ice Cream Cone Sleeve, Ice Cream Waffle Cone Sleeve, and Custom Cone Sleeves suit a tapered shape that a flat wrap would crush.
Custom Shrink Sleeves and Shrink Sleeve Packaging suit brands that need full coverage sealed tight to the container.
What Size Sleeve Do You Need?
Custom sleeves are made to the exact size of the product they wrap rather than from a standard size chart, since the sleeve has to follow that shape exactly rather than just cover a flat area. A belly band and a box sleeve for the same product are built completely differently even though both wrap the same item.
Send these with your inquiry:
- What the sleeve wraps, such as a box, jar, cup, or cone
- Its exact dimensions, including height and circumference for round shapes
- Whether you need a snug band, a full wraparound, or a shrink fit
Send the product or the measurements and we will confirm the size before anything is printed.
What Materials and Finishes Are Available?
Custom sleeves are made from paperboard, kraft, or shrink film. Printing is full color CMYK, Pantone for exact brand colors, or unprinted. Finishes include matte and gloss lamination, Spot UV, embossing, and gold or silver foil.
Cardboard Sleeves and Cardboard Sleeve Packaging suit most retail lines, printing cleanly at a sensible unit cost.
Custom Paper Sleeves and Paper Ice Cream Cone Sleeve suit food contact and lighter weight applications.
Which finishes are available depends on the stock and the style you pick. Not every finish works on every material, and we will say so when a combination will not hold up.

How Ordering Works
- Send your product details, the quantity, the style you have in mind, and your artwork if you have it. We reply within one business day.
- We come back with the stock, style, print method, and finish we recommend, plus a price for the job.
- We prepare or check your artwork and dieline. There are no design fees, and you get a free 3D mockup so you can see the sleeve before approving it.
- Nothing goes to production until you sign off the artwork.
- Before bulk production starts we send a video of your actual packaging. You are looking at the finished sleeve rather than a render, while there is still time to change something.
- Standard production is 6 to 8 business days after final artwork approval. Rush production is 3 to 5 business days when approved, with a 10 percent surcharge. Time spent waiting on artwork or approval does not count as production time.
- Free standard shipping worldwide. Standard transit is 10 to 15 business days after production. Expedited transit is 7 to 10 business days for qualifying destinations, with a 10 percent surcharge.
Our minimum order is 100 units per design.
Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful answers about this packaging category, customisation, production and delivery.
What is the minimum order for custom sleeves?+
100 units per design. A belly band and a box sleeve count as two designs, and 100 units of each.
How do I measure my product for a sleeve?+
Measure the height and the circumference or width at the widest point the sleeve needs to cover. For a cone or tapered shape, measure both the narrow and wide ends so the fit is correct along the whole length.
Can a sleeve go over a box I already have?+
Yes. Send us the box's dimensions, or the box itself, and we will build a sleeve sized to slide over it.
Do shrink sleeves need special equipment to apply?+
Shrink sleeves need heat to shrink into place, either a heat gun for small runs or a heat tunnel for larger volumes. Tell us your production setup and we will confirm the shrink sleeve is the right fit before you order.
Do you ship outside the United States?+
Yes. Standard shipping is free worldwide, with transit normally 10 to 15 business days after production. Customs duties, import taxes, VAT or GST, and any destination country charges are the customer's responsibility and are not included in the quote.
