Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Green Bean Café in York was on a mission to make their entire takeaway service 100% free of single-use plastic. They had sourced compostable cups and  containers but needed a labelling solution that matched their ethos. They switched to the Vegware CL691 compostable write-on food labels to seal their paper bags and  label daily specials.

"Our customers really notice the details. We've had so many positive comments about our packaging, and  these labels are the perfect finishing touch. They show we're not cutting corners on our commitment to being green, and  they look great too."

Samuel Jones – Co-Owner, The Green Bean Café

The switch contributed to a significant increase in positive online reviews mentioning their eco-friendly practices and  helped them secure a local 'Green Business' award.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting the Best Stick

  • Apply labels to a clean, dry surface for the strongest bond.
  • Press down firmly across the entire label, especially the edges.
  • Best suited for paper, cardboard, and  other non-greasy packaging materials.
  • For best results, apply at room temperature.

Keeping Them Fresh

  • Store the roll of labels in a cool, dry place.
  • Keep them in their original packaging to protect from dust and  moisture.
  • Avoid storing in direct sunlight or humid environments to preserve the adhesive.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Food Labels

Not sure which labels tick all the boxes? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Material Matters

Choose a material that reflects your brand. Paper labels like these are brilliant for a natural, eco-friendly look, while vinyl might be needed for waterproof applications.

Adhesive Type

Consider your packaging. A water-based adhesive is great for paper, while a stronger, permanent adhesive might be needed for plastic or refrigerated items.

Compliance & Messaging

Do you need to display allergens, use-by dates, or eco-credentials? Ensure your label has enough space and  the right pre-printed info, like these compostable ones.

Size and  Shape

Make sure the label is big enough for your information but won't overwhelm your product. A 45mm circle is a versatile choice for bags, boxes, and  cups.

Application

These write-on compostable container labels are perfect for hand-application, allowing you to add a personal touch to every item you sell.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I write on these compostable food stickers with any pen?

A: Yes, a standard ballpoint pen or permanent marker works perfectly. We suggest letting the ink dry for a moment to prevent smudging.

Q: Are the labels waterproof?

A: These labels are made from paper, so they are not waterproof. They are best used on dry goods and  packaging that won't be exposed to significant moisture.

Q: Can I put them in my home compost bin?

A: These are certified for industrial composting, which uses high heat to break them down quickly. They are not designed for the lower temperatures of a home compost heap.

Q: Will they stick to cold or refrigerated items?

A: For best results, apply the label to the container at room temperature before refrigerating. The water-based adhesive is designed primarily for ambient, dry surfaces.

Q: What does 'water-based adhesive' mean for performance?

A: It means the glue is made from renewable resources and  is more environmentally friendly. It provides a good, firm seal on materials like paper and  card.

Q: Is the paper sustainably sourced?

A: Yes, Vegware is committed to sustainability and  uses paper from renewable, plant-based sources for its products.

Q: How strong is the adhesive?

A: It's strong enough to securely seal paper bags and  food cartons for takeaway and  retail purposes, providing a reliable closure.

Q: Does the 'Completely Compostable' message meet UK standards?

A: Yes, Vegware products, including these biodegradable food labelling stickers, are certified to EN 13432, the European standard for compostable packaging.

What 'Industrially Compostable' Really Means for Your Business

You'll often see the words 'biodegradable' and  'compostable' used, but they're not the same. 'Industrially compostable' is a specific, certified standard that these Vegware CL691 labels meet. It means that when they end up in a commercial composting facility – with its high temperatures and  specific conditions – they will break down completely into nutrient-rich compost within 12 weeks. Think of it like a special recipe: the label needs the right 'ingredients' (heat and  microbes) found in an industrial facility to transform properly. This is far better than simply biodegrading over an unknown period, as it ensures the material becomes part of a circular system, returning to the earth without leaving microplastics or waste behind. It tells your customers you've chosen a solution with a guaranteed, environmentally positive end-of-life.
