Recycled Paper Labels
Sustainable labels made from recycled stock
A simple, sustainable way to reduce your footprint and highlight your brand’s values
Recycled paper labels are a simple yet effective way to reduce your environmental footprint while keeping your packaging professional and eye-catching. Made from post-consumer recycled fibres, these labels provide a sustainable alternative to traditional paper labels without sacrificing quality. Their natural, slightly rustic finish makes them a perfect choice for food labels such as organic or artisanal products, beverage labels including craft beer, wine, and specialty drinks, and cosmetic stickers for skincare, candles, and wellness packaging. They’re also well-suited to handmade goods and eco-conscious brands that want packaging to reflect their commitment to sustainability. Check out our Free label guide.
