How to Achieve Perfect Shrink Sleeve Labeling with the CN4040A Infrared Shrink Tunnel

A Guide to Seamless, Professional Shrink Sleeve Application on Bottles, Cans, and Containers

In today’s competitive packaging industry, shrink sleeve labeling has become the go-to solution for branding bottles, cans, and containers. Unlike direct printing, shrink sleeves offer 360-degree design coverage, vibrant graphics, and durability—all while accommodating complex container shapes. At the heart of this process is the CN4040A Infrared Shrink Tunnel, designed to deliver a flawless, professional finish for your products.

Why Shrink Sleeves?

Shrink sleeves provide a full-surface print, meaning every curve and contour of your bottle or can is utilized for branding. This versatility makes them ideal for energy drinks, pharmaceutical containers, paint tins, deodorants, and more. Their resistance to moisture, scratches, and fading ensures your product maintains shelf appeal, while their easy application reduces production costs.

The CN4040A Advantage

The CN4040A infrared shrink tunnel is specifically engineered for shrinking printed sleeves seamlessly around your containers. It features a roller-based conveyor system that ensures smooth, uninterrupted transportation of bottles and cans through the tunnel. The infrared heating elements deliver targeted heat from the top, sides, and bottom, achieving a consistent and uniform shrink.

A key feature of the CN4040A is its integrated fan system inside the heat chamber. This fan ensures even heat distribution, preventing localized overheating and eliminating print warping or uneven shrinking. The result? A smooth, professional finish that enhances product presentation and consumer confidence.

Infrared Heat Technology: Gentle and Effective

Unlike conventional heating systems, infrared shrink tunnels operate at lower temperatures, making them perfect for sensitive products. This gentle yet effective heat application ensures that while the sleeve shrinks uniformly, the product inside remains unaffected. Whether you’re working with beverages, cosmetics, or pharmaceuticals, the CN4040A delivers reliability and precision.

Perfect for Diverse Applications

The CN4040A is a versatile solution for businesses across industries. From uniform bottles and cans to energy drinks, pharmaceutical containers, paint tins, and deodorants, this shrink tunnel ensures your products look impeccable and retail-ready.
