What are eco-friendly labels?
Made from wood pulp, this material is certified compostable making it environmentally friendly.
It's then printed with certified compostable & vegan inks on our HP Indigo printer.
This material is made from organic compounds that react to moisture.
That means it can get wet for short periods of time, but is not suitable to go in a dishwasher or shower environment. It is, however, resistant to scratches & splash proof.
Eco-friendly labels get cut digitally in any shape around your design.
Choose any size from 0.39"- 27.56" (1cm-70cm) wide, up to 196" (500cm) long.
These labels can be supplied on sheets or rolls.
Eco-friendly labels are backed with a medium-strength adhesive, so they will stick to most surfaces, including slightly curved surfaces.
Eco-friendly labels are available on either rolls or sheets, so you can get the format that works best for you.
We recommend rolls for machine or high-volume applications. Sheets are better for lower volume, due to the smaller minimum order quantity. And easier storage.

Product reviews
Eco-friendly labels that look like plastic, without the plastic
Our eco-friendly labels are made from a white, glossy, compostable film produced from wood pulp from managed plantations. They look and feel like a regular plastic label, so you get a polished finish without adding more plastic to your packaging.
Compostable, inside and out
The film is certified compostable, and we print it with certified compostable, vegan inks on our HP Indigo press. The material is also safe for contact with food, which makes it a natural fit for jars, coffee bags, bakery boxes and drinks.
Where to use them
Because the film is made from organic compounds, it reacts to moisture. It's splash-proof and scratch-resistant, so it handles short spells of wetness, but it isn't designed for the dishwasher, the shower or long-term outdoor use. For products that live in water, choose waterproof labels instead.
Rolls or sheets
Choose rolls or sheets. Rolls suit labeling machines and high-volume runs; sheets suit smaller batches, have a lower minimum order and are easier to store. Pick any size from 0.4" to 27.5" wide, in any shape.
Prefer a matte, paper finish?
Our biodegradable paper labels are made from sugarcane byproduct and have a natural matte look. And if you need individually cut pieces rather than labels, see our eco-friendly stickers.
FAQs
Are eco-friendly labels waterproof?
They're splash-proof, so they can get wet for short periods, but they aren't suitable for the dishwasher, the shower or long-term outdoor use. For wet conditions, choose our waterproof vinyl labels.
