Packaging labels are an integral component of product packaging, acting not only as an ID card for each item being packaged but also advertising and salesman of those same products. Unfortunately, however, packaging labels produce waste that pollutes our environment negatively; for this reason more product manufacturers or sellers are turning towards eco-friendly designs in packaging labels for better environmental stewardship while simultaneously strengthening brand image. Here are a few examples of environmentally conscious label designs to provide inspiration and reference.
Edible fruit labels. Edible fruit labels are an innovative design of packaging labels on fruit that use edible material such as natural pectin, water and food color to form their labels - perfect for eating right off or along with fruits without peeling, discarding or wasteful practices! With such convenient yet safe designs reducing wasteful practices can significantly decrease pollution caused by fruit labels!
Degradable seed paper labels. This design uses degradable seed paper as packaging labels, which contains seeds of various plants that will naturally decompose in soil once discarded and germinate to grow new plants - this concept combining beauty and functionality while decreasing wasteful paper usage, thus contributing to greener ecosystems.
Recyclable magnetic labels. Recyclable magnetic labels are metallic packaging labels made out of recyclable magnetic material that use magnetism for attachment to products without glue or other adhesives, then can easily be removed for reuse or recycling later. This design is simple yet practical - helping reduce wasteful metal label use as well as saving resources!
Color Changeable Temperature Sensitive Label. This plastic packaging label design employs temperature-sensitive material with color changing abilities that responds to temperature variations to produce smart packaging labels with various temperature-sensitive materials that change colors according to temperature fluctuations and show product shelf lives or best before dates. When products expire or become degraded, their warning color turns red or black or another red warning signal for customers not to consume the item anymore - an ingenious and smart solution which reduces waste while keeping food safe!
Environmental label designs represent an innovative solution, meeting current social needs while being stylish enough for product manufacturers or sellers to increase environmental consciousness, foster social responsibility and foster consumer trust and loyalty.
