A box sleeve is a cost-effective packaging solution that is often used in place of or in conjunction with product boxes. It can function as either primary packaging when used to encase the product or as secondary packaging when it is slid over a closed product box. Product sleeves provide additional space for branding and informational content and enhance the unboxing experience. A thoughtfully designed product sleeve improves the visual appeal and makes a lasting impression on consumers.

A belly band is a type of product sleeve. These bands typically wrap around the middle of products and product boxes. Belly bands perform dual functions by keeping the products secure while providing additional branding space. The terms, packaging sleeves and belly bands, are often used interchangeably.

Additionally, belly bands generally do not have any creases or fold lines as they are often used to wrap softer products like clothing or blankets.
