Recycled and Eco Labels

Cork Labels

Cork is one of the world’s most versatile materials, as it is 100% natural, reusable and recyclable. Made from natural cork with a coagulated backing to withstand washing. Natural bark is taken from the living cork oak trees, leaving the tree free from harm as they are one of the few tree species that can survive once the bark has been removed.

The suberin and ceroids contained in the cell walls, means cork is protected from liquids and gases – the materials resistance to moisture enables it to age without deteriorating. In terms of thickness, 1.3mm is the standard. Although, if the label needs to be thicker, a thicker backing can be applied to the cork.

This is a great natural product, with a small selection of natural ground colours available, and can be die cut to different shapes whilst achieving great printing results.
