Packaging Sleeve Material & Specification Guide
Our packaging engineers match paperboard calipers, coatings, and adhesives to your exact application, guaranteeing optimal structural performance.
10pt to 18pt SBS Paperboard (250–400 GSM)
Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS) paperboard provides a bright white, ultra-smooth printing surface. It delivers sharp typography, vivid color reproduction, and clean score lines that do not crack at 90-degree corner folds.
Recyclable Unbleached Kraft Stock
Manufactured from long virgin wood fibers, natural brown kraft offers high tensile tear resistance. Perfect for eco-focused brands seeking curbside recyclable packaging printed with non-toxic vegetable inks.
FDA Food-Grade Barrier Coatings
Formulated with aqueous, poly-coated, or grease-resistant liners that prevent oil absorption and moisture weakenings on ready-to-eat meals, bakery trays, burgers, and hot takeaway food.
Adhesive Strips vs. Interlocking Tabs
Specify pre-applied double-sided tape for permanent seal applications, or custom die-cut interlocking tabs for reusable friction-fit packaging that allows customers to slide sleeves on and off smoothly.

Technical & Procurement FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Essential details on measuring, paperboard selection, and bulk ordering
How do I measure my product or box for a perfect sleeve fit?
Wrap a flexible measuring tape around the container to obtain the total outer circumference. Add 1/16 inch (1.5mm) to the length measurement to account for paperboard thickness. This ensures your sleeve slides on smoothly without pinching or tearing.
Are your packaging sleeves suitable for direct food contact?
Yes. We supply FDA-compliant food-grade paperboards equipped with grease-proof poly-coatings or aqueous barrier liners suitable for bakery items, takeaway bowls, burgers, and hot soup cups.
Do sleeves ship pre-glued or flat-packed?
To minimize shipping volume and freight costs, sleeves are shipped flat. You can choose pre-glued seams for slide-on application, interlocking die-cut tabs, or pre-applied double-sided tape strips for instant assembly.
What is the standard turnaround time for wholesale sleeve orders?
Standard production takes 8–10 business days post artwork approval. Expedited rush production is available for urgent product launches, delivering completed orders in 5–6 business days.
Can I request metallic foiling or spot UV on Kraft paper sleeves?
Yes. We combine rustic unbleached Kraft stock with hot gold/silver foil stamping, raised spot UV varnish, debossing, or custom window cutouts to create distinctive eco-luxury packaging.
What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
Our minimum order starts at just 50 pieces. Price per unit decreases significantly as order volume scales to wholesale tier quantities.
