SleeveCo Success Stories : Pennzoil-Quaker State

Setting up Pennzoil-Quaker State to race off the shelves

The Concept:
A full-body shrink sleeve for 10W-30 motor oil in bottles shaped like Pennzoil-Quaker State’s NASCARŽ racing car. The 360° marketing potential of shrink labels and the popularity of NASCARŽ were a perfect combination to help Pennzoil-Quaker State stand out in the saturated motor oil market.

The Challenge:
The car-shaped bottle contained curves on the wheels, windshield, hood and other places that the shrink sleeve needed to match perfectly (the wheels are a primary example) to created an authentic look. These distortion issues had to be addressed to ensure success of the project.

The SleeveCo Solution:
Intensive R&D with both the blow molder and application team to ensure that our final shrink labels would properly shrink onto the container without melting its thin walls. Our work resulted in a very successful package that really paid off at retail for Pennzoil-Quaker State and garnered several packaging industry awards.
