Labelnet launches sustainable label range
With businesses becoming more and more conscious of using eco-friendly packaging, Labelnet wanted to provide a range of materials which would offer a solution to customers’ needs,’ said the company in a statement. ‘Self-adhesive labels are probably the most efficient form of printed packaging to promote a product, but are deemed to be hard to recycle due to the adhesive used to stick to packaging.
‘A solution to this problem is to offer a range of labels which have either already been recycled or upcycled from sustainable sources, making them an eco-friendly label which brands can shout about.’
Labelnet’s sustainable material range includes tree-free papers made natural resources including:
Crush Range – includes grape and citrus fruit which have no additional chemicals and a way to upcycle natural by-products of citrus fruits
Sugar Cane – made up of 95 percent sugar cane fibres, this material is also biodegradable and suitable for screen printing
Marble Base – a soft-touch paper sourced from 80 percent marble waste
The sustainable paper range is made up of FSC-certified papers and includes:
rMC Paper – 30 percent and 100 percent recycled semi-gloss paper
rNaturel – 100 percent recycled fibres make up this luxurious fine felt paper
rGranit – 100 percent recycled fibers are used to create this textured premium paper
PP60 – 30 percent and 100 percent recycled semi-gloss PP which looks similar to a standard PP
Labelnet works with other label printers who outsource their work, printing both digital and flexo labels at small and large capacities.
