We are excited about adding an eco-friendly group of materials to the Lightning Labels lineup. Many have been asking us to find alternatives that would support your desire to be earth friendly as well as present your product that way. While there are many definitions of “eco friendly,” we have two options for you. Some are 100% post consumer waste while one is biodegradable.
The new options include:
- BioStone – A biodegradable material that makes presenting a “green” label easy. If you have been looking for a biodegradable product, you now have an excellent choice—and the print quality on this material is stunning.
- Kraft – Is recycled from 100% post consumer waste. Packaging takes on a natural look and promotes your commitment to being earth-friendly with the use of this recycled material. One great way to make Kraft printing pop is to add white ink under your print. The highlight creates a great focus on your label but keeps the natural look everywhere else. Our sample in the sample pack shows a great example of this effect.
- Vellum paper – Also a 100% recycled post consumer waste material. If the natural look is not what you want, but you want to present an earth-friendly label, vellum is a good paper option.
If you would like to see examples of these materials for your application, please request samples free of charge.
