Sustainable Labels

Make sure your green product includes a sustainable label.

Sustainable Label Tips

Materials:

• 30% Post Consumer Waste label material is derived from recycled paper waste.
• Repulpable Paper can be ground up and repulped along with the corrugated it was on to create a new label stock or board.
• Soy-based nks are entirely natural and eco-friendly. They come from a renewable source.
• Renewable Paper & Films are produced with corn-based products.

Artwork:

• Your label should include a reference to your label materials to show you are using sustainable products.
• A QR code on your label can link your customer to information (video, web page, blog) about your sustainable efforts.

We believe that what is good for business can be better for the environment. We do not believe that being green has to cost more; no packaging professional should accept that. Here at Weber, we pledge to strive to develop products and process that improve our environment and our bottom line.
