About

 

Viscose is a BRC AA* and ISO (9001:2015, 14001:2015 & 45001:2018) certified, leading UK packaging manufacturer of tamper-evident shrink sleeves, decorative full-body shrink sleeves, and a distributor of caps.

Established over 130 years ago, we have built a strong reputation for quality and reliability within the packaging industry, with our customers at the heart of everything we do. From our factory in Llansamlet, Swansea, we export to over 30 countries worldwide, serving a wide range of sectors including food & drink, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial gas.

Our core business is manufacturing high-quality shrink sleeves, both tamper-evident sleeves and full-body decorative sleeves. We design our tamper-evident sleeves to safeguard products against contamination and counterfeiting, ensuring brand integrity through to the point of use. At the same time, our full-body decorative shrink sleeves elevate on-shelf presence, using up to eight-colour, high-resolution printing to deliver bold, full-colour graphics that make brands stand out.

As consumer expectations continue to evolve around safety, sustainability, and trust, we deliver shrink sleeve solutions that provide reassurance while enhancing visual impact—strengthening brand confidence and supporting modern packaging standards worldwide.

We can combine sleeves with our contract sleeving services, helping businesses reduce operational complexity, avoid investment in additional machinery, and maintain flexibility across varying production volumes

Sustainability is our passion, we are the world’s only producer of self-shrinking, plastic-free shrink sleeves—an innovative, one-of-a-kind solution manufactured in Swansea and exported globally. These sleeves are biodegradable, home compostable, and completely plastic-free. In addition, our traditional heat-shrink sleeves are available in a range of eco-conscious materials, including PET, rPET, and PLA.

We are also a market leading UK distributor of caps & closures with supply partnerships spanning over 40 years across a portfolio that includes metal ROPPs, oil pourers, tethered plastic caps, PET/PVC capsules and cork stoppers.

All of this is made by possible by our people who are  the heart of our business, a team of 40 employees with a combined 500+ years of service. Over half our workforce has more than 15 years’ service, reflecting the depth of knowledge, experience, and dedication that underpins our reliability and long-standing customer relationships.
