Packaging does more than keep your product safe. It shares your brand story in an instant. At Plus Printers, our custom cardboard sleeves are loud, striking, and crafted to boost sales. Whether launching a new line or giving old stock a fresh look, our sleeves combine looks with real-world strength. 

Think of your packaging as the first hello, shoppers get before they even touch the item. For that reason, we care a lot about five details: printing quality, color pop, sleeve style, a snug fit, and the right material. When those pieces come together, the package shows off your brand, shields the product, and grabs extra attention in-store or online.

From bars of soap to glass bottles and almost everything else, we build sleeves that fit snugly, feel premium, and look amazing. So, whether you want plain cardboard sleeves for soap or bright printed sleeves for retail, we help you step out from the clutter.   

What Are Cardboard Sleeves?   

Cardboard sleeves are sturdy paperboard bands that slip over a product or a box like a gentle jacket. Cardboard sleeves watch over the item, give it a fresh appearance, and show off your brand all at the same time. Every sleeve can be dressed in your colors, logo, slogan, or any artwork you imagine.

What are The Uses of Cardboard Sleeves?

They are cheap to make, sleeve guards, brand, and advertise nearly anything that slips inside. You will find them in kitchens, bathrooms, shops, and gift corners everywhere, proving their usefulness stretches far beyond one sales niche

Let us explore some common applications.

Want to Wrap Your Soaps in Style?

Slide a sleeve around each bar to show off a label while shielding the edges. Choose natural kraft for an earth-friendly vibe, print ingredients right on the side, or add a little clear window so the color pops.

Need Bottle Protection with Branding?

Pop on a fold-over wrap to cradle glass or plastic along its neck and base. The board keeps any bump from cracking the container, and the bold artwork turns plain cartons into mini billboards for cosmetics, drinks, or infusions.

Looking for Creative Gift Packaging?

Whether it is company giveaways or wedding favors, a tailored sleeve dressed in foil, gloss, or soft touch brings instant elegance. Finish with a spot for names, and recipients don’t just admire the outside-they keep it long after the gift is gone.

Selling Retail Products?

Flexi-pressed pouches weigh almost nothing and don't hog shelf space the way hard boxes do. Put a UPC, barcode, or a shiny QR code right on the flap, and customers can scan it, look around, and buy in seconds.

Types of Cardboard Sleeves

From classic belly bands to panel wraps, flat blanks to tuck-top boxes, every option can be sized, colored, and printed to match your project.

Custom Printed Sleeves

Add your logo, brand colors, product details, and artwork to every sleeve. These custom printed cardboard sleeves catch eyes and make your products pop on any shelf.

Size-Based Sleeves

Big or small, we make sleeves packaging that hugs your product just right. Soap bars, candles, glass jars, or beverage bottles-everything gets a neat, professional cover.

Wholesale Cardboard Sleeves

Launching a line or gearing up for mass sales? Place a wholesale order and receive consistent quality and sharp graphics, no matter the volume.

Sustainable Sleeves

Made from recyclable and biodegradable card stock, these wraps show customers you care about the planet while also reaching eco-minded shoppers.

Benefits of Cardboard Sleeves

Cardboard sleeves blend eye-catching branding, reliable product protection, and green appeal into a single package. Here are the top perks you can count on:

Targeted Branding

Print your logo, tagline, and eye-catching art right on the front. That way, customers notice you fast and remember who they bought from.

Physical Protection

A tough little sleeve wraps around each bottle or soap, keeping them safe from scratches, leaks, and the little dings that can happen on a store shelf or during shipping.

Green Choice

We make the sleeve from kraft or top-quality recycled board, so much less material winds up in a landfill, and eco-conscious shoppers appreciate the earth-friendly touch. It is packaging that does its job and still looks good.

Cost-Effective Packaging

Cardboard sleeves are cheaper and quicker to produce than full-set boxes. So even if your budget is tight, you can still create a strong, positive impression.

What Sampling Options Do We Offer?

Before you go into full production, we let you test your design so you feel confident with the final order.

2D Flat View

A quick PDF shows layout, colors, and bleed lines. It is perfect for spotting design issues before ink hits paper.

Video Mockup

Watch a short clip that shows your sleeve sliding onto the product. The motion helps you picture how it will look on the shelf.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I have been working with several companies - trying to nail down a box size and type for my organic tea business. Chris Martin was the ONLY rep in all of the companies I reached out to who was responsive, helpful, and walked me through the entire process. It was an absolute pleasure to give my small business dollars to Plus Printers! I will provide another review after I receive my custom product!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Chris Martin was so helpful and responsive! We needed custom folders made and looked at various different companies, but Plus Printers ended up offering the best quality and price. This was our first time ordering, but Chris guided us through every step and even sent us videos of sample folders and mockups of our final product so we could proceed with confidence. Thank you Chris and Plus Printers, we will definitely re-order when we run out of this batch.

We are very pleased with our packaging design! It was great working with Steven, I almost didn't work with Plus Printers because of their pricing but Steven went out of his way to try and negotiate prices with the sales department to fit our budget and offered us more budget-friendly packaging options as alternatives. Very responsive to my emails and made sure that our designs were how we wanted them! I look forward to working with them again soon!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

wonderful service from a company that went beyond expectation to help my project get up and running smoothly. My sales rep, Paul, and the design team at Plus Printers made sure to have every detail in place and gave me a quote other companies could not touch! Lead times were accurate and updates for shipping were by far the most stellar i have yet to see. Thanks a milion!
