FAQs

Can I use this sleeve with glass bottles?

While it is designed for plastic bottles, you might be able to fit it over smaller glass bottles if the diameter is compatible. However, its adjustability is primarily for plastic bottle shapes.

Is the sleeve waterproof?

The cardboard sleeve itself is not waterproof. It is intended to cover a plastic bottle that holds water. Ensure the bottle is watertight before using it as a vase.

How do I clean the sleeve?

Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents or submerging the sleeve in water, as this can damage the material.

What does 'recycled board' mean?

It means the cardboard used to make the sleeve is made from post-consumer recycled materials, helping to reduce waste.

Can I choose which side faces out?

Yes, the sleeve has a different design or orientation on each side, allowing you to flip it to display the side that best matches your decor.

How should I dispose of it when I'm done?

The packaging is designed to be easily perforated and recycled. The sleeve itself can also be recycled with paper and cardboard if it is clean and dry.

What are the dimensions of the sleeve before cutting?

The product information does not specify exact pre-cut dimensions, as it is designed to be trimmed to fit various bottle heights. Its primary dimension is its circumference, which fits common bottle diameters.

Troubleshooting

Sleeve is too tall for the bottle.

Use scissors or a craft knife to carefully trim the bottom edge of the sleeve to the desired height.

Sleeve doesn't fit the bottle diameter.

While designed for most bottles, very wide or unusually shaped bottles may not fit. Ensure you are using a standard plastic bottle.

Pattern alignment is off after cutting.

Carefully align the pattern before cutting. The design may have a slight seam where the ends meet, which is normal.

Cardboard feels flimsy.

The sleeve is made from recycled board for eco-friendliness. For added stability, ensure the bottle inside is fully intact and use it on a stable surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select a clean, empty plastic bottle.
  2. Measure the desired height for your vase, considering the bottle's height and the sleeve's potential to be trimmed.
  3. Carefully cut the cardboard sleeve to your measured height using scissors or a craft knife.
  4. Slip the trimmed sleeve over the bottle.
  5. Optionally, insert a liner or use the bottle directly if it holds water sufficiently.

  • Height is adjustable by cutting.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking.
  • Keep away from direct sources of heat or moisture to maintain structural integrity.
