What is Sleeve?

A sleeve is an open-ended paper/board band slipped over a box or product. It serves as the outer shell in slide (drawer) boxes and as a print/branding surface on single items. Being one piece, it is economical.

Example: The printed band that slides over the inner tray of a chocolate or cosmetic set is a sleeve.
