Sustainable tags from hip Labels offer the state-of-the-art in eco-friendly tags.

 
Biotag
BioTag is produced using a state-of-the-art polymer technology that relies on bio-based products such as corn, soybeans, sorghum, tapioca, and potato starches rather than fossil fuel-based resins. The end product has a natural composition that is biodegradable in the soil in approximately one year. BioTag is petroleum free and meets or exceeds all ASTM standards for compostable plastics and aerobic biodegradation.



 
Ecotag
We are pleased to introduce the EcoTag, a degradable alternative to traditional plastic nursery tags. As consumers begin to take notice of the green industry’s environmental responsibility, the EcoTag offers a consumer connection not to be overlooked. Manufactured using wind power as one energy component, Eco-Tag is environmentally friendly from beginning to end with plenty of consumer appeal during its useful life. These rigid nursery tags retain their integrity until buried in compost or disposed of in a landfill. The buried degradation process takes 1 to 5 years.



 
Repel
We are pleased to introduce Repel - the paper substrate for nursery tags. Repel is an innovative product containing 30% post-consumer waste, making it an environmentally responsible choice. The Repel product exceeds expectations of traditional paper labels by resisting curling and fading when exposed to water and sunlight. Unlike the glossy plastic tags commonly used in the industry, printing on Repel paper produces a soft, matte image. The natural look reinforces the environmental benefits of the tag, appealing to the consumer’s senses with a soft look and a soft feel.
