Specification
Recycled labels from Hummel Print
Recycled labels consist wholly or partly of material that has already been used once or was left over in production. We print them like any other label by flexo or digital printing and supply them on rolls, fanfolded or on sheets. For a statement such as "made from recycled material" to hold on your packaging, it needs details about the material. You find them in the data sheet.
- Label material with recycled content, paper FSC® certified on request
- Flexo printing with up to 8 colours in one pass or inkjet digital printing
- Variable data such as batch, barcode or QR code
- Adhesive to suit the surface: permanent, high tack or removable
- On rolls, fanfolded or on sheets
- Samples on the material of your choice before the production run
Evidence
What lies behind the recycled content
Post-consumer material comes from used products, for example waste paper. Post-industrial material is left over in production and used again there. Which share of which origin is in the label differs from material to material.
Since 27 September 2026 stricter EU rules apply to environmental claims on products. General terms such as "environmentally friendly" need evidence, and a claim about recycled content has to match the actual material. So ask for the data sheet with your quotation. It states the recycled content on which you base your packaging claim.
Applications
Typical applications
Natural cosmetics and personal care
Soaps, creams and oils whose packaging relies on recycled material overall get a matching label.
Organic food and delicatessen
Jars and boxes with organic products carry a label with a natural paper look and all mandatory information.
Beverages and craft products
Short runs for craft beer, juices or spirits, printed digitally on recycled paper.
Shipping labels made from recycled paper
Shipping and address labels for online retail, blank or preprinted with your logo.
Industrial and chemical products
Labelling on containers and cartons where customers ask about the material of the label.
Labels with a lower material thickness are shown on the page Thin labels, FSC® papers and the climate contribution on the page Sustainable labels.
