Contract package labelling and decorating services provider Eastgate Group has invested in a new beverage can sleeving line to address the growing demand.

The advanced technology and equipment will enable the company to increase its production capacity and provide the ability to develop full-height pallets of product.

According to Eastgate Group, the new line is designed to handle nearly any size or shape of can, including standard, slim and sleek.

The shrink sleeves offer beverage brands unlimited graphic potential in various options such as matte, metallics, gloss and tactile varnish.

Eastgate Group VP Grady Ludeke said: “When we entered the can sleeving market in 2019, most of our customers actually preferred half-height pallets, but as our customers have continued to grow in size and scale, the need for a full-height option became clear.

“Full-height pallets allow our customers to produce more efficiently by reducing the number of pallets they load into their filling line.
