ST-2650 - Stretch Sleeve Label Application on Plastic Bottles

This video demonstrates the ST-2650 stretch sleeve applicator applying stretch sleeve labels to plastic bottles. The system is shown placing stretch sleeves accurately and consistently as containers move through the application zone.

The ST-2650 is a servo-driven stretch sleeve applicator designed for steady, repeatable operation on higher-throughput production lines. In the video, plastic bottles are sleeved without the use of heat or adhesives, illustrating how stretch sleeve technology delivers full 360-degree coverage while maintaining container integrity.

Stretch sleeve labeling is commonly used for plastic containers in applications where chemical resistance, durability, and energy efficiency are important. The video highlights how the ST-2650 supports smooth label placement and reliable operation for plastic bottle applications requiring consistent results.

FAQs

Why are stretch sleeves a good labeling solution for plastic bottles?
Stretch sleeves provide full-body decoration without the use of heat or adhesives, making them well suited for plastic bottles that require durable, chemical-resistant labels with low energy usage.

What types of applications is the ST-2650 used for?
The ST-2650 is used for stretch sleeve labeling on plastic containers, including bottles and jugs, in applications where consistent placement and steady throughput are required.

How does stretch sleeve labeling differ from shrink sleeve labeling?
Stretch sleeves are mechanically applied and stretched over the container without heat, while shrink sleeves require heat tunnels to conform the label. Stretch sleeves eliminate the need for heat and associated utilities.

Why choose the ST-2650 over lower-speed stretch sleeve applicators?
The ST-2650 is designed for higher-throughput operations that benefit from servo-driven control, improved repeatability, and smoother steady-state performance.

Can the ST-2650 be integrated into existing production lines?
Yes. The ST-2650 stretch sleeve applicator is designed for integration into production lines and can be configured to work with upstream and downstream equipment based on application requirements.
