Sustainable Labeling and Printing: Finding the Right Material

In today’s environmentally conscious world, businesses seek sustainable solutions, and printing and labelling are no exception. The demand for eco-friendly practices extends from product packaging to informational labels, pushing manufacturers and consumers to re-evaluate their material choices.

Finding the right material for sustainable prints is important for minimising environmental impact while maintaining functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Embracing Sustainable Alternatives

Traditional label and printing often rely on materials derived from non-renewable resources, such as petroleum-based plastics. These materials can take centuries to decompose, contributing to landfill waste and environmental pollution. Fortunately, many sustainable materials and printing technologies offer viable alternatives. Fine Print Australia is a printing service provider that offers recycled stocks and soy-based ink, making their products and services eco-friendly.

Here’s a look at some key considerations:

Recycled and Recyclable Materials: Choosing labels made from post-consumer recycled (PCR) paper on plastic significantly reduces the need for virgin materials.
Biodegradable and Compostable Materials: Labels made from plant-based materials like sugarcane fibre, cornstarch, or wood pulp are biodegradable and compostable, breaking down naturally and returning to the earth.
Digital Printing: Digital printing methods can also reduce waste by reducing the amount of overproduced labels. This label and printing method is also very helpful for small runs.

As technology advances and consumer demand for eco-friendly products grows, the printing and labelling industry will continue to innovate and develop new sustainable solutions.

The project Fine Print competed to everyone's satisfaction was a 330-page perfect bound book, with a glossy laminate cover. The team was friendly, responsive and communicative, delivering a quality product well within the time frame specified. I have no hesitation in recommending Fine Print Australia to anyone who has any printing requirements.

Steven and other team members of Fine Print went above and beyond when we needed to get the booklet printing done on such short notice. They helped us with the artwork and bleeding adjustments and also replaced the misspelled sheet in less than two hours for us as we required the printing to be done urgently. Well done and we can't thank you enough. Highly recommended.
