Esko Studio 10 And Visualizer Studio Toolkit For Shrink Sleeves ((new)) -

For "full-body sleeves" that cover the cap and bottle, the shrink rate differs (caps are rigid, bottles are flexible). In the Toolkit, create two separate shrink simulations: one for the bottle body (55% shrink) and one for the cap (20% shrink). Align them via a "masking layer" in Illustrator.

| | Why It Happens | Esko Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Font Arching | The sleeve shrinks faster at the top than the bottom. | The Toolkit applies a "vertical distortion curve" that pre-bends fonts down, so they shrink straight. | | White Ink Show-Through | White ink trap is too small, allowing bottle color to bleed through. | Studio 10 applies a "substrate color" (e.g., green glass). You can see exactly where white ink is needed. | | Crease Wrinkles | The sleeve film bridges a concave dip. | The physics engine displays wrinkles as actual 3D geometry, not just a texture. You see a raised ridge. | | Registration Shift | The sleeve rotates during shrinking. | Use the "Orientation Lock" tool to anchor the sleeve to the bottle’s unique feature (e.g., handle). | For "full-body sleeves" that cover the cap and
