Seaming Innovation

Hammer has developed a proprietary innovation during the seaming process that produces a seam that is narrower than the industry standard. This allows us to eliminate edge-lift for a smoother finish, and avoid print gaps at the seam line when the sleeve shrinks.

Sustainable Solutions

We offer sustainable and recyclable solutions for shrink sleeve films, including deseaming technology and PET film options.
Hammer has a strong commitment to social responsibility and sustainability.

Innovation Update: EAS & RFID Solutions

Inventory shrink costs the retail industry over $40 billion every year. Intelligent packaging is gaining in popularity to reduce theft and track products through the supply chain lifecycle.

Hammer Packaging developed in-line equipment to adhere EAS tags to the inside of shrink sleeve packaging. These hidden chips trigger retail security alarms, without compromising packaging graphics.
