California Label Introduces Water-Soluble Tag
You can print it, emboss it, calendar it, fold it, write on it, tear it, photocopy it and hang it on a garment.
And when you’re done with it, you can toss it in a glass of water and watch it dissolve.
California Label Products has introduced a 100 percent biodegradable label made from cellulosic fibers. The label is a new compostable and non-toxic label and comes in a range of weights and thicknesses.
Made in the United States, the label has the look of and feel of typical paper.
The water-soluble tag joins California Label Products’ growing catalog of eco-friendly tags, including recycled paper and recycled polyester, hemp and canvas tags, seed paper and chipboard, cotton twill, and cotton-blend tags with damask, satin or taffeta.
“You can’t coat it, but you can print on it,” said Gary Garfield, president of California Label. The biodegradable tags are printed with water-soluble inks, giving the final product a matte look.
The paper mill is in New Jersey, and the tags are made in Los Angeles, although for high-volume orders, there is an offshore factory available to manufacture the tags, Garfield said.
