Precautions

Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Keep labels in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, humidity, or heat sources to maintain their quality and adhesion properties.

Avoid Contact with Excessive Moisture: Although eco-friendly labels like PLA and cellophane are designed to be durable, prolonged exposure to moisture may affect their adhesive strength. Store them in sealed packaging to protect against humidity.

Use Within Recommended Time: For optimal adhesion and degradation performance, use the labels within the recommended shelf life as indicated by the manufacturer. Over time, the adhesive may lose effectiveness.

Other properties

The eco friendly product should be stored in a clean, dry, ventilated, temperature and relative humidity warehouse, not less than 1m away from the heat source, and must not be stacked under high storage conditions.

The remaining materials should be sealed with plastic wrap + aluminum foil to prevent moistur absorption.

Packing Requirement

Technical Insights & Knowledge Sharing on Biodegradable Stickers

Understanding the Core Materials of Biodegradable Stickers

Choosing the right material is the foundation of truly sustainable stickers. YITO offers eco-labels made from three major renewable resources:

PLA (Polylactic Acid): Derived from corn or sugarcane starch, PLA stickers offer excellent transparency and print compatibility. It’s industrially compostable and well-suited for both food and cosmetic packaging.
Sugarcane Bagasse Paper: Made from agricultural waste, bagasse paper is strong, naturally off-white, and fully compostable. It's ideal for brands seeking a rustic, organic look.
Plant Fiber Paper: Sourced from bamboo, hemp, or straw, this option provides great ink absorption and is biodegradable in home composting environments.

Water-Based Adhesives vs. Traditional Sticker Glue

Most traditional sticker glues, like hot melt or solvent-based adhesives, contain petrochemicals that hinder compostability and leave residue. In contrast, YITO uses water-based compostable adhesives:

Made from natural rubber or synthetic latex
Fully degradable without toxic residues
Certified for food-safe applications
Peel away cleanly, ideal for zero-waste packaging

How to Tell If a Sticker is Truly Biodegradable

Claims like "eco-friendly" or "biodegradable" mean little without proof. To ensure a sticker is genuinely compostable, ask your supplier for:

EN13432 (EU Standard): Certifies packaging will biodegrade in industrial compost within 12 weeks.
ASTM D6400 (US Standard): Confirms materials disintegrate under municipal composting conditions.
OK Compost / Home: Indicates suitability for home compost bins with lower temperatures.

YITO supports full transparency. Upon request, we provide certification documentation for all raw materials and adhesives used in our biodegradable sticker lines.

Printing Limitations and Solutions for Sustainable Labels

Foil, UV, Lamination—What’s Possible with Eco Stickers?One of the most common questions from B2B buyers is:

“Can I do foil stamping? UV gloss? Spot lamination on compostable stickers?”

In most cases, traditional glossy finishes or plastic laminations compromise biodegradability. However, we offer eco-friendly printing alternatives:

Soy- or water-based inks for vibrant, safe color reproduction
Compostable matt coatings for surface protection
Non-toxic embossing/debossing for tactile effects

While foil stamping or UV coating may not be feasible, our team helps adapt your design using sustainable techniques — so you don’t have to compromise aesthetics for responsibility.

Packaging, Storage, and Shelf Life Tips for Biodegradable Labels

Biodegradable materials are more sensitive to moisture and heat than conventional plastics. Here’s how to properly store and transport your eco-labels:

Keep in a dry, cool environment (15–25°C)
Avoid direct sunlight or high humidity
Use airtight secondary packaging for long-distance shipping

Under ideal conditions, our labels maintain adhesive performance and print quality for up to 12–18 months. We include batch production dates and shelf life indicators for better inventory control.

Are Compostable Stickers Safe for Food and Cosmetics?

Yes — and it’s one of the most important questions buyers ask.

All of YITO’s food-grade biodegradable stickers are manufactured using FDA-approved materials and adhesives that meet EU 10/2011 food contact requirements. We regularly test for:

Heavy metals
VOC emissions
Migration levels under heat and moisture

We also offer FDA reports upon request, making our labels suitable for use on produce, deli containers, cosmetic jars, and more — without compromising safety or sustainability.
