Food Sleeves

Custom Sushi Sleeves

Sushi is bought with the eyes through a clear lid, so a sleeve must not cover the food. It sits as a band across part of the pack, carrying the name and the required information.

Getting the balance right — enough branding, not so much that the sushi is hidden — is most of the design work.

Design Your Own

Design Your Custom Sushi 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

Name on the pack

Finish

Show a repeating pattern

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 designer

The 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.

Cover as Little of the Lid as Possible

The product is the packaging's main selling point. A wide band across the centre hides the pieces the customer is choosing between.

Bands that run across one end, or down one side, leave the arrangement visible while still giving a substantial printed area.

Chilled Retail Requirements

A barcode area on a flat section, readable at the till.
Room for a date label applied after packing.
Allergen information, which for sushi is rarely short.
A finish that copes with condensation in a chiller.
Colours that hold up under cabinet lighting, which drains warmth.

A band that curls in a chiller looks cheap and is usually a board and lamination problem rather than a design one.

The same construction is used for bands for hot meal boxes, with different priorities.

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 Sushi Sleeves: Common Questions

Will the band curl in a chiller?

It can if the board is light and unlaminated, because one face takes up moisture faster than the other. A laminated or coated board resists it, and it is worth specifying if packs sit in a cabinet for hours.

How much of the lid can the band cover?

Less than most designers want. The arrangement of the pieces is what sells the pack, so an end band or a side band nearly always outperforms a wide central one.

How much of the lid should the band cover?

Less than most designs want. The arrangement of the pieces is what sells the pack, so an end band or a side band outperforms a wide central one.

Where does the barcode go?

On a flat section clear of folds, so it scans reliably at the till. That has to be planned rather than fitted in afterwards.

Do we need space for a date label?

Yes, applied after packing. Reserve the area in the artwork so the sticker does not land across your logo or the barcode.

Can the band carry allergen information?

It can, though for sushi the list is rarely short. Many operations use a printed panel for the fixed part and a sticker for what changes.

Will cabinet lighting change how the print looks?

It drains warmth from colours. Check a printed sample under your own cabinet rather than approving from a screen or in daylight.

Can we run several pack types in one order?

On digital printing, yes. Send the number of variants and the quantity of each so the split is priced properly.

Do bands work on trays with a domed lid?

They can, though the band has to clear the dome. Send the tray and lid together rather than the tray alone.

Can we run a vegetarian and standard band?

On digital printing, yes, and it saves staff checking. Send the quantity of each rather than a total.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

Sizing questions are usually quicker on the phone, especially if you have the product in front of you.
