If you haven’t heard, more and more companies across a variety of industries are opting for shrink sleeves rather than traditional paper and film labels. Shrink sleeves maximize the amount of print surface space available for your brand. They can be shrunk to almost any size packaging, greatly extending your options for container size and shape. They also can provide tamper-evident packaging built right in. We’ve extolled the many virtues of shrink sleeves elsewhere, but have you considered high decoration options for your shrink sleeve?

Metallic labels are one of the most versatile trends in label design, gaining in popularity across industries as varied as health and beauty products to food and beverage. Whether your brand is a nutraceutical hoping to stand out in an increasingly crowded field or an industrial product that wants to differentiate itself from the competition, metallic elements in your label design can help you achieve your brand goals. Incorporating metallic elements onto a shrink sleeve can be an incredible way to outshine the competition. We can print in metallic inks in various colors on shrink sleeves; if you’ve got metallic aspects to your label, we can make sure they are included if you decide to go for a high-impact shrink sleeve!

Another great way to incorporate metallic elements onto shrink is one that the craft beer industry uses often. If your container is already metallic, like the aluminum cans breweries often use to package their offerings, leaving unprinted space on a clear shrink sleeve lets the metal shine through (see Berkshire Brewing Company's amazing InHOPnito shrink sleeves above). This can be an economical way to achieve the metallic look you are going for. Leaving unprinted design space on a shrink sleeve can also help you achieve a “no label look” that many standout brands are choosing.

If you desire an extremely luxe appearance, Dion can also include Cast and Cure™ and foil options in a variety of patterns and colors right onto shrink sleeves. Cast and Cure™ provides a holographic finish to specific areas of graphics or the entire surface area of your label. Cast and Cure™ on a shrink sleeve is a sure way to make sure your label has the impact you want it to. We can also use foil applications to create a dazzling effect on your shrink sleeve. Cold foil on a shrink sleeve enables you to use metallics in a way that exceeds the capabilities of metallic ink or packaging.

Parent Company Inovar Continues Growing: New Headquarters in Dallas, TX

by Gina Lisella • 21 Nov, 2023
As part of Inovar Packaging Group, Dion Label Printing is working to creating a world-class enterprise by building an innovative platform to drive sustainable growth and handle the increasingly complex demands of our diverse range of customers. Over the last several years, our parent company Inovar has acquired new facilities at a quick pace, including, most recently: Cimarron Label in Sioux Falls, SD and Amherst Label in Milford, NH. Acquiring is a major part of Inovar’s strategy to grow the company and better serve our customers and our internal teams, and we are concurrently working to expand our capacity, capabilities, and service offerings in other ways. To that end Inovar has recently moved into a newly renovated headquarters building in Dallas, TX. Located just a short distance from Inovar’s previous facility headquarters, the new location was built to showcase the mission of our brand. At triple the size of the last facility, this brand new building with its huge increase in both office and production space will enable us to provide even more solutions and support to our customers. The new facility is not just larger, however. In order to increase our capacity, capabilities, and offerings, and give our customers the highest quality labels and packaging solutions, we’ve added two new flexographic presses and a new digital press. Our Director of Marketing, Ashley Stewart, states, “the additional capacity, services, and embellishment capabilities will greatly increase our ability to meet all the requirements of even the most demanding brands. The team is thrilled to debut the new facility and showcase our capabilities to our existing and future customers.”  We also have other expansions in the works. An addition of almost 20,000 additional square feet of production and warehousing space will expand Inovar’s Milwaukee, WI, location, Flexo-Graphics, and its presence in the area. We are excited for the opportunities our growth provides us to continue our rise as a premier label and packaging solution provider. Contact us today and let our growth help fuel yours.
