Custom Burrito Sleeves
A burrito is only held together by the roll, and the roll starts to relax the moment it is put down. The sleeve is what stops the far end opening and the filling arriving on the table.
That means compression matters more here than coverage.

Design Your Own
Design Your Custom Burrito Sleeves
Pick a colour, put your name on it, and see how the idea reads before you ask anyone for a price. It is a sketch rather than a manufacturing proof — the real shape is cut from the product you already serve.
Sleeve colour
Finish
A narrow band uses less board than a full wrap and carries the same name. Wrap deeper only where the filling actually runs.
Carry this into the full designerThe full page adds the size, board, print and quantity, then sends the whole specification over in one go. Nothing is committed to at any point.
Compression, Not Just Coverage
A loose sleeve looks fine and does nothing. The wrap needs to be slightly under the diameter of the rolled burrito so it holds it closed rather than sitting around it.
That is a fine tolerance, and it is why sizing from a real burrito rather than a stated tortilla size is worth the effort.
How Customers Actually Eat a Burrito
The eating pattern decides where the sleeve should sit:
- They unwrap the top third only, and eat down through it.
- They push the sleeve down as they go, so it must slide without tearing.
- They put it down half-eaten, at which point the sleeve is holding everything.
- The base collects juice, so a closed or folded bottom is worth having.
A sleeve that tears when pushed down is worse than no sleeve, because the burrito is already open by then.
Foil-Lined and Paper-Lined Behave Differently
Many burrito operations wrap in foil first and use the printed sleeve outside it. If that is your process, the sleeve does not need grease resistance at all and can be a lighter, cheaper board. Tell us which way round you work.
Ordering, Artwork and Delivery
Getting a Quote
Measure the made-up item as it leaves your pass, at its widest point. We reply with a written specification, the minimum order quantity and the lead time for your job.
Artwork
We send a flat die line so artwork is built on the right shape. Full file requirements are set out in our artwork guidelines.
Turnaround
Lead times depend on the print method, run length and press schedule, so we confirm yours on the quote rather than publishing a single figure.
Delivery in the UK
Orders are dispatched on national carriers to any UK address. Seedelivery information for how dates are given.
Custom Burrito Sleeves: Common Questions
Do we still need a sleeve if we wrap in foil?
The foil holds the burrito; the sleeve carries the brand and gives a clean surface to grip. Where foil is used first, the sleeve can be a lighter board, which reduces cost.
What size should the sleeve be for a 12in tortilla?
That depends entirely on how tightly your team rolls and how much filling goes in. Two kitchens using the same tortilla can produce burritos a centimetre apart in diameter, so we size from a real one.
How tight should a burrito sleeve be?
Slightly under the diameter of the rolled burrito, so it holds the roll closed rather than sitting around it. A loose sleeve looks fine and does nothing.
Do we need one if we wrap in foil first?

What size fits a 12in tortilla?
That depends entirely on how tightly your team rolls and how much filling goes in. Two kitchens using the same tortilla produce burritos a centimetre apart.
Will the sleeve tear as the customer pushes it down?
Not on an appropriate board. A sleeve that tears halfway through is worse than none, because the burrito is already open by then.
Should the base be closed?
Worth having. The base collects juice as the filling settles, and an open bottom delivers it onto a customer's hands.
Can we print a filling name on each sleeve?
On digital printing, yes, and it saves staff opening wrappers to check. Send the number of fillings and the split between them.
Do these work for shawarma and wraps?
The same tapered principle applies. What changes is the diameter, so measure a made-up item of each rather than assuming they match.
How do these ship?
Flat and die-cut, assembled at the pass. That keeps storage small, which matters in the compact kitchens most burrito operations run from.
Prefer to Talk It Through?
Sizing questions are usually quicker on the phone, especially if you have the product in front of you.
