And eco-friendly label stickers—this seemingly tiny packaging detail—are also blending into this green wave in an unprecedented manner.
Cellophane Label Stickers: A Sustainable Choice for Natural Colors
The core raw material of sustainable, eco-friendlycompostable label stickers comes from sustainably managed forest wood. The production process converts wood into pure wood pulp and ultimately produces sticker materials that combine environmental protection and practical functions, mainly presenting the following characteristics:
Complete biodegradation cycle: Under appropriate natural conditions, Compostable Cellophane Label can be decomposed by microorganisms and ultimately converted into water and carbon dioxide, returning to the natural environment. This feature helps eliminate the environmental impact caused by traditional plastic stickers.
Wide application compatibility: With good processing adaptability and adhesion performance, it can be applied to various product surfaces, from glass bottles and cans to paper product packaging, and can stably adhere to meet diverse packaging needs.
Application: Kraft Paper Box Stickers Label
Compostable Cellophane Label Stickers is about efficiency and sustainability. It is not only a carrier of information but also a key link in smooth processes and packaging cycles. Whether it's product labeling, batch traceability, or logistics guidance, Stickers must balance strong adhesion with easy removal. Without curling, falling off, or damaging the box—in order to ensure the true implementation of logistics efficiency and environmental protection commitments.
Ordinary stickers are easy to peel off and can fall off after stacking and handling. This affects scanning and recognition. They do not tear completely, and too much glue can soak into the fibers when removed. This damages the box's structure and makes recycling and reusing cardboard boxes harder.
For this purpose, we offer a special sticker solution for kraft paper boxes:
✔ Strong and durable adhesive, wear-resistant, and anti-warping
Adopting a glue system optimized for rough fiber surfaces, it quickly infiltrates and firmly adheres, resisting daily stacking, transportation friction, and temperature and humidity changes, ensuring clear and readable information throughout the entire process.
✔ Tear off clean and protect the box
Precise control of adhesive viscosity and permeability, making it difficult to remove paper fibers during removal, maximizing the integrity of the cardboard box, and supporting the recycling process.

PLA Stickers: A Clear Future Derived from Plants
PLA (Polylactic Acid) stickers are derived from renewable plants such as corn and cassava. By utilizing biological fermentation technology to convert plant starch into high-performance polymers, PLA has established a complete cycle of "coming from nature and returning to nature." The core of its environmental protection is reflected in
Low carbon footprint: From raw materials to finished products, PLA's full lifecycle carbon emissions are significantly lower than traditional petroleum-based plastics, making it a practical choice for brands to move towards carbon neutrality goals.
Transparency and Glossiness: PLA stickers have a glass-like clarity that highlights the product’s true colors and shapes, making your packaging look sleek and premium—perfect for food and beverage items that need to showcase the product clearly.
Compostable PLA stickers are not only environmentally friendly but also have excellent performance that meets modern packaging needs.
Application: PLA Glasses Sticker Label
In the retail and export process of glasses, a sticker is related to experience and trust. It is not only a carrier of product information but also directly affects customers' perception of brand professionalism. Whether it is temporary identification of lenses, frame labels, or display instructions, stickers need to achieve a precise balance between being firmly attached and completely peeled off—without falling off, leaving glue, or damaging the lens coating—in order to continue the product value and consumer experience.
Ordinary stickers often do not stick well. They can easily shift when displayed or worn. When removed, they leave sticky marks that are hard to clean. These marks can even scratch the mirror surface, which can hurt secondary sales. For exported products, if the materials and adhesives are not compliant, they may also face environmental inquiries from overseas markets.
For this purpose, we offer a specialized sticker solution for glasses:
✔ Gentle attachment, no trace when peeled off
Using a low-residue adhesive system suitable for smooth surfaces such as glass and resin to ensure stable adhesion, the surface remains clean after removal without the need for additional cleaning.
✔ Scene adaptation, easy to operate
Specially designed for lenses, frames, and exhibition labels, maintaining consistent performance throughout the entire logistics, warehousing, and sales process to enhance efficiency and professionalism.

Sustainable Sticker Solution Partner: YITO
Many stickers on the market that claim to be "environmentally friendly" actually only contain some bio-based materials or can only physically break, without true degradation ability. If the concept is misused in promotion, it is easy to fall into the controversy of "greenwashing," damage brand credibility, and even trigger platform delisting and compliance accountability.
The complex certification system further increases the confusion of selection. EN 13432, ASTM D6400, OK Composite, FSC... These standards are often mentioned in general terms, but in reality, the certification objects, testing conditions, and applicable scenarios are completely different. The brand must be clear about:
Does the certification cover the surface material or the whole body, including adhesive?
Is the product suitable for industrial composting, or can it be naturally degraded?
Once there is a misunderstanding, it may lead to a discrepancy between the promotion and the facts, directly directing the risk towards the brand itself.
To this end, we have established a genuine, clear, and traceable environmental compliance system, from the source of materials to the certification loop, allowing you to rest assured during the production stage and walk steadily in the international market.
Clear authentication, corresponding scenarios, making environmental protection real and trustworthy
