Shrink Sleeve Applicator

The Nexus shrink sleeve machine applies full-body shrink sleeve labels to bottles, jars and containers of different shapes and sizes. The shrink sleeve applicator places the printed sleeve over the container, then a heat tunnel shrinks it to fit the container's contours. Supplied and supported Australia-wide.
