Our Sustainable Materials
We believe in transparent, certified sourcing for environmental claims on product packaging. Key sustainable options include:
- Kraft and recycled card: Choose our 100% Recycled Card or biodegradable Unbleached Brown Kraft for authentic eco-credentials.
- Certified stocks: Review our complete substrate analysis in the Eco-Friendly Swing Tags Guide.
- String and attachment: Pair with unbleached organic cotton twine or natural jute cords from our Strings & Ribbons range.
Ask for evidence behind environmental claims
Terms such as recyclable, biodegradable, and plastic-free depend on the entire specification. Compare the practical stock, print and attachment choices in our kraft swing tag guide. We also uphold ethical manufacturing standards across our supply chain—read our Modern Slavery Statement.
What to Avoid for True Recyclability
If recyclability is a priority, review finishes that can introduce another material or change how the tag is processed:
- Lamination: While protective, plastic laminates can impact kerbside pulping unless separated.
- Foil stamping & Spot UV: Keep foil coverage minimal if tags are destined for domestic paper recycling.
Build a lower-impact specification
Choose a practical size, avoid unnecessary layers and finishes, and order a quantity based on real usage. Check our Material Comparison Tool or request physical swatches via our Sample Pack Service.
