Eastgate Group, a leading American provider of contract package labelling and decorating services, has announced expanding its beverage can sleeving line to meet growing demand from manufacturers of beverages. The company’s investment in state-of-the-art technology and equipment will allow for additional production capacity and the ability to produce full-height pallets for customers needing them.
“When we entered the can sleeving market in 2019, most of our customers preferred half-height pallets, but as our customers have continued to grow in size and scale, the need for a full-height option became clear,” said Grady Ludeke, VP of Eastgate Group.
Full-height pallets allowed customers to produce more efficiently by reducing the number of pallets loaded into each manufacturer's filling line.
“While many suppliers have exited the market, we remain committed to providing the highest quality sleeved cans at industry-leading prices and lead times. We know that when a customer comes to us with a project, they trust us to take good care of their brand, and we take that incredibly seriously.”
The new production line will handle nearly any size or shape of can, including standard, sleek, and slim. With infinite graphic potential and the option of matte, gloss, metallics, and tactile varnish, shrink sleeves provide a unique opportunity for beverage brands to tell their story and differentiate themselves in an increasingly competitive beverage category.
