The toolkit can wrap a single sleeve around multiple objects, which is essential for beverage and household multi-packs.

You start by creating a 3D model of your bottle or container. Using the toolkit, you can upload a photo of the product, trace its profile, and revolve it into a 3D object. Alternatively, import a STEP or IGES CAD file from the brand owner. You can even define the "shrink zones"—areas where the film will shrink more or less.

Traditionally, shrink sleeves required multiple physical prototypes to get distortion right; Esko allows for "first time right" printing.

: Once the shrink is simulated, you can select artwork in Adobe Illustrator and apply "counter-distortion" with one click to ensure graphics appear correctly on the final product. Alternatively, import a STEP or IGES CAD file

Designing for shrink sleeves is notoriously difficult because what you see on a 2D artboard is never what you see on the shelf. As the film is heated, it shrinks unevenly—graphics on the neck of a bottle might compress by 70%, while the base remains at 10%. Without specialized software, designers often face: that look "squashed" or "stretched." Barcodes that become unscanable. Alignment issues where the seam meets. 2. Esko Studio 10: The 3D Foundation
