FAQs
What types of bottles can I use?
The sleeves are designed to fit most standard plastic bottle diameters, from thin 250ml bottles to 2-liter fizzy drink bottles.
Can I use this for live plants with water?
While the sleeve itself is not waterproof, you can use it for live plants if you place a waterproof container or liner inside the plastic bottle to hold the water. This prevents the cardboard from becoming saturated.
How do I clean the vase sleeve?
Wipe gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the cardboard, as it can damage the material and print.
How is this product packaged?
It comes flat-packed with minimal packaging, designed to be easily posted inside an envelope. The packaging itself is recyclable.
Does the geometric pattern cover the entire sleeve?
Yes, each sleeve features a geometric design. One design is present on each side, allowing you to choose your preferred orientation.
Can I cut the sleeve to a custom height?
Yes, the sleeve can be easily cut down to fit the specific height of the bottle you are using.
Is this product made from recycled materials?
Yes, the cardboard sleeves are made from recycled board.
Troubleshooting
Sleeve is too tall for the bottle
Carefully trim the bottom of the cardboard sleeve with scissors to match the desired height of the bottle.
Sleeve is too loose on a narrow bottle
You can gently fold or crease the sleeve vertically to create a tighter fit, or use a small piece of tape on the inside seam if needed.
Cardboard feels damp
Remove the sleeve from the bottle and allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid placing near direct heat sources.
