Sustainable stickers: how to make a responsible choice

Looking for a more considered sticker option for your brand or packaging? We can help compare paper, films and documented material features based on how the label will be used and disposed of.

Which material is appropriate?

Paper, plastic films and recycled materials have different trade-offs. Paper is not automatically better for every application.

Consider the amount used, intended lifespan, disposal routes and whether the label affects recycling of the underlying package.

How can you substantiate a claim?

Ask suppliers for specifications supporting the exact material and formulation, especially for recycled content or certified sourcing.

Avoid broad claims like '100% sustainable'. Explain a specific, documented property instead.

Quote checklist

  • What surface will the sticker go on?
  • What conditions will it face?
  • What size and quantity do you need?
  • Which material properties can be verified?

We help align material and production specifications with your particular project when preparing your quote.
