Shrink & Stretch Sleeve Solutions for Chemical Products
Serving the Lawn & Garden, Automotive, and Home Care Markets
From fertilizers to fuel additives and household cleaners, chemical products demand packaging solutions that withstand tough conditions and build consumer trust. At Axon, we offer shrink sleeve, stretch sleeve, and tamper banding systems designed to maintain label integrity, provide tamper-evident protection, and accommodate a wide variety of container shapes and sizes.
Our systems are trusted across three key segments within the chemical industry:
Home Care
Shrink Sleeve & Tamper Banding for Household Cleaners
Axon supports home care manufacturers with systems that can handle everything from standard-sized spray bottles to oversized gallons and multipacks. Whether you're labeling disinfectants, degreasers, or laundry detergents, our solutions ensure labels remain secure and legible—even when exposed to moisture, chemicals, or consumer handling.
We offer both standard and custom systems to accommodate unique bottle shapes and wide film applications:
- Aurora® Wide – Mid-speed system designed for full-body sleeves or tamper bands on containers up to 9.8" in diameter
- EZ-Wide – Low to mid-speed option for wide tamper bands and shrink sleeves on club store multipacks or bulk containers
- ThermoPoint® Steam Tunnels – Engineered to deliver consistent shrink results on complex shapes like trigger spray bottles, making them ideal for challenging containers
These systems are ideal for brands needing reliable, high-coverage labeling on larger household chemical containers.

Automotive
Labeling Solutions for Automotive Fluids & Lubricants
In the automotive sector, container variety and product tampering are major concerns. From fuel additives and pre-mixed gas cans to refrigerant bottles and car detailing sprays, Axon's shrink and stretch sleeve applicators offer:
- Precise fit and durability for uniquely shaped bottles
- Secure tamper evidence to protect against counterfeiting
- Label adhesion that withstands oil, grease, and moisture
Stretch sleeve systems like the Styrotech® ST-2650 and ST-1550 offer a cost-effective, high-speed solution for jugs and containers where pressure-sensitive labels fall short. Shrink systems such as the Aurora® Mid-Speed and EZ-Series provide a range of speed and format options to meet your production needs.

Lawn & Garden
Tough Labeling Solutions for Outdoor Chemical Products & Beyond
Lawn and garden products—like pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides—are exposed to weather, dirt, and handling, making label durability a must. Axon’s shrink and stretch sleeve solutions stand up to these harsh conditions, ensuring labels remain intact and legible.
For manufacturers producing a wide variety of container sizes, our systems deliver flexibility, accuracy, and uptime. The Styrotech® ST-2650 stretch sleeve applicator, for instance, uses servo motion control for precise placement, on-the-fly speed changes, and height adjustments, making it a top choice for jugs and bottles of varying shapes.
Axon also shines in tackling unique challenges—like the time we successfully sleeved plantable starter pots, a textured, non-traditional container not suited for pressure-sensitive labels. This kind of custom problem-solving is part of what sets Axon apart.

- Custom and standard solutions for a wide range of shapes, materials, and sizes
