A method of producing and applying printed packaging sleeves comprising the steps of: (i) printing a plurality of design sets on both sides of a reel of flexible packaging material, each set comprising the same repeating design extending as a column along the length of the packaging material, the designs on both sides of the packaging material being in register; (ii) sealing the printed sides with a protective coating suitable for food use; (iii) cutting through the reel to separate the columns to provide individual design sets; (iv) transferring each cut reel as required to a package machine to be fed as a continuous web to a packaging station; (v) winding the web around a respective container of packed product with the desired printed face outwards; (vi) cutting from the web the portion of the material wrapped around the packed product container and fixing together the co-operating edges, whilst the material is under tension, to form a sleeve. |
