Sleeve Sizing – Let’s Get the Fit Just Right

To help us tailor your sleeve to the exact container size, we need a few key measurements. Most food containers are trapezoidal – meaning the top and bottom widths differ – so it’s important to provide precise sizing to avoid a poor fit.

Please confirm the following dimensions when requesting a quote or placing your order:

  • Width: The front-facing panel width of the container

  • Top Depth: Distance from front to back across the top edge

  • Bottom Depth: Distance from front to back across the bottom edge

  • Height: Vertical side height from bottom to top edge

Please confirm the dimensions of your box / container that you would like your sleeve to wrap.

Please Note: if you’re not 100% sure on the accuracy of your measurements, you can order your sleeves supplied with double sided tape pre-applied but un-assembled for you to then wrap around and seal to help ensure a snug fit

Prefer us to do the measuring?
You’re welcome to send us a physical sample of your food container or box. We offer a measurement and test-fit service to ensure a perfect sleeve fit – please note this does attract a small sleeve fitting service charge.

Let us know if you’d like to include this service when requesting your quote.

Sending in your food container for our sleeve fitting service ensures the highest accuracy in custom sleeve creation.

If you prefer a partial coverage for your food containers, you can use our sizing calculator to determine the right dimensions. When entering your measurements, input the desired sleeve width rather than the full width of the box. This will ensure that the sleeve doesn’t cover the entire container, allowing some parts of the box to remain exposed as per your requirement.
