A leading shrink sleeve manufacturer has developed a bright new ink-based solution for the latest modern juice range, Evoid Drinks.

Chadwicks Sleeves has created a PVC 50 micron shrink sleeve that uses speciality inks to give Evoid its signature vividly-coloured identity. 

Evoid Drinks had previously encountered application problems with its sleeve design, due to the use of fluorescent inks. Chadwicks Sleeves was able to colour-match the drink manufacturer’s existing design and maintain Evoid’s intense, fluorescent look without hampering the smooth application onto the bottles.

Evoid contains no less than 78 per cent fruit juices and comes in a variety of four flavours – Cherry, Blueberry, Lemon and Mixed Berry – in a can, carton or bottle. One drink can provide one of your five-a-day, and consumers can choose between still or sparkling varieties. 

As part of the Performance Films and Foils business unit of the Flexible Packaging Division of the global Clondalkin Group, Chadwicks works with sister company Nyco in Switzerland to deliver expert packaging solutions to its customers. 

Mike Kelly, sales manager at Chadwicks Sleeves, said: “Evoid is a unique new product, which is sure to be hit with the younger generation. It’s bright, fluorescent look really is a distinguishing factor, so it was important for us to locate and match the correct coloured inks that were needed to maintain its image.

“Using the expert knowledge of our in-house design and technical teams, as well as some robust research and testing, we were able to supply Evoid with a sleeving solution that matched its fantastic new products perfectly.”

Andrew Webb of Evoid Drinks, said: “We appointed Chadwicks as our shrink sleeve supplier due to its extensive experience and expertise in the drinks sector. We wanted a shrink sleeve that carries our modern design and reflects the zesty flavours of our variety of drinks. 

“Chadwicks quickly identified and provided a solution to our previous application problems and we have been extremely impressed by its high level of support and customer service throughout the project.”

Chadwicks has more than 50 years of experience in the flexible packaging industry and is a world-leader in pre-cut lid manufacture and a supplier of choice in shrink sleeve production.

Part of the Flexible Packaging Division of the Clondalkin Group, Chadwicks works with its sister company Nyco, a shrink sleeve manufacturer based in Switzerland, to provide a joint service to multi-site European buyers, meaning Chadwicks, together with Nyco, can provide a wider range of print processes including UV flexo, gravure and offset litho.

Clondalkin Group has more than 40 manufacturing sites located across Europe and North America.
