sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a business imperative. As UK brands and consumers alike shift toward greener practices, every detail matters, right down to the labels.
That’s why we offer a range of eco-friendly labelling solutions designed to reduce environmental impact without compromising quality or performance.
Whether you're rebranding your product range or launching a new eco-conscious line, we’re here to help you make your packaging as sustainable as your values.
Why Sustainable Labelling Matters
Labels may be small, but their environmental impact adds up—especially when they contain plastic films, petroleum-based adhesives, or non-recyclable liners. More UK retailers and regulators are setting stricter sustainability criteria, and your label choices can play a key role in meeting those targets.
At Bespoke Labels, we provide expert guidance and high-quality sustainable materials to ensure your products not only look great but also align with green expectations.

Eco-Friendly Labelling Options We Offer
Biodegradable Adhesives
Our biodegradable adhesives are made from natural sources such as plant starches or resins. They’re designed to break down in composting environments, making them ideal for use on compostable packaging.
Perfect for:
Organic and eco-certified products
Food-grade and natural product lines
Compostable pouches and containers
Recyclable & Compostable Label Materials
We supply FSC-certified papers, plant-based films, and compostable PLA labels that meet the highest environmental standards. These labels are fully compatible with recycling or composting streams, depending on your packaging goals.
Options include:
Recyclable paper labels with wash-off adhesives
Compostable film labels for food and drink packaging
Glassine or recyclable liners to reduce waste
Important: We’ll work with you to ensure your labels are matched to the recyclability or compostability of your packaging, helping you avoid greenwashing and waste stream contamination.
Water-Based INKS
Traditional inks can contain harmful solvents and heavy metals. We offer water-based INKS that are lower in VOCs and safer for the planet, without sacrificing print quality or vibrancy.
Great for:
Artisan food products
Health and beauty packaging
Retail items where eco-messaging matters
