Heat-Shrink Egg Sleeves 9 pcs by Arpex are thin, single-use shrink film caps designed to cover standard eggs after application of heat. These sleeves form a close, tamper-evident layer that protects the shell surface, provides a surface for printed labels or branding, and helps maintain hygiene during storage and transport. The set contains nine individual sleeves suitable for small-scale packaging tasks in retail, catering, or household use. A heat source such as a steam tunnel, hot-air gun, or heat shrink tunnel is required to shrink the film for a secure fit.
Advantages
The sleeves create a uniform, tight fit around each egg, reducing direct contact with contaminants and minimizing label peeling. Their thin material allows for clear printing and visible product information while remaining lightweight. Using heat-shrink sleeves provides tamper evidence and a professional appearance without adding significant bulk or weight. The product is compatible with common heat-shrinking methods, making it suitable for manual or semi-automatic packaging workflows.

How to use
Place a sleeve over the cleaned, dry egg so that it sits evenly on the shell. Apply a suitable heat source—steam, hot-air gun, or shrink tunnel—keeping the heat moving to avoid overheating any one spot. Shrink the film until it conforms tightly to the egg surface. Allow the sleeve to cool and set before handling or packing the egg. For printed sleeves, ensure ink is fully dry and adhesive labels are set prior to heat application to prevent smudging or displacement.
Usage recommendations
Use gloves and food-safe handling practices when fitting sleeves to eggs. Test one sleeve first to confirm heat settings and fit for your specific egg sizes and equipment. Store unused sleeves in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve film quality.
