The full tag design–adhesive, face stock and inks–is accredited as compostable by TÜV Austria under OK compost certification schemes for industrial and seedling.

Sinclair EcoLabel is food-safe, complies with EU and FDA regulations and is supplied on compostable Sinclair EcoLiner ® backpaper.

Colin Woodward, president and CEO of Sinclair, shared: “For Sinclair and the sector, launching the Sinclair EcoLabel is a ground-breaking moment. We have been working tirelessly for a number of years to provide a certified and fully compostable alternative for labeling. Sinclair continues to invest in eco-friendly labeling with this achievement. Our mission is to drive and inspire the fresh produce labeling industry to reduce the impact on the planet."

Sinclair EcoLabel will be showcasing on the Large Label V6 system designed for labeling large fresh produce such as melons, squash, pumpkins and more. Label sizes up to 3 x 2”, is height adjustable and offers flexible mounting options on a range of equipment.

Automating labeling of large labels can help manufacturers save time and cost when applying  labels.
