Our Two Main Types of Eco Films

• PLA films (white or clear) are fully compostable films derived from corn starch from annually renewable crops. (PLA= Polylactic Acid)
• Cello films (white or clear) are industrial and home compostable films manufactured from regenerated cellulose.

These products are available in combination with our wide range of adhesives or as adhesive-free thicker tags.

Applications and Benefits 

• Biodegradable and Compostable Face Materials: Both types of films are biodegradable and compostable in accordance with the EN13432 European Standard, which deals with, "The requirements for packaging recoverable through composting and biodegradation ‐ Testing scheme and evaluation criteria for the final acceptance of packaging."
• Available with a wide range of adhesives: Choose from permanent, removable, freezer, water wash-off, wetpack and hotmelt adhesives to suit most labelling applications.
• Ideal for labelling or tagging compostable packaging constructions: Note - only suitable when the label forms less than 1% of the entire packaging. This limitation does not apply to adhesive free tags.
• Printable with a wide variety of print technologies: Suitable for Thermal Transfer printing with many printer/ribbon combinations. The smooth high quality surface is ideal for flexographic and rotogravure printing methods
