10 reasons to choose Bagasse biodegradable stickers
Grease resistance
Meaning Bagasse cane fibre is good for biodegradable food product labels and stickers. We work with many artisan food and drink producers to label products like meat, cheeses and other dairy products as well as food sauces and so on. Additionally, many beauty products benefit from the grease resistance of Bagasse biodegradable labels.
Moderate UV resistance
Usually completely satisfactory for most product labels and stickers which are not stored outside on a continuous basis.
Strong
Bagasse cane fibre offers great strength and durability reducing the likelihood of labels ripping and tearing. Labels adhere well with an acrylic based, biodegradable adhesive with good initial tack and adhesion, on a wide variety of substrates. For this reason Bagasse labelling also has the advantage over regular paper labelling.
Natural
No additional additives or chemicals are needed to whiten or strengthen it. Bagasse makes naturally beautiful labels and stickers to enhance the naturally beautiful features and characteristics of your product.
Sustainable
Bagasse is mostly a by product of sugar production, although it can can also be produced from bamboo, wheat and straw. Sugar cane is a renewable, eco-friendly source as it reproduces in cycles of less than one year. In comparison, trees for paper production generally take 7 to 10 years to reach maturity.
Eco-friendly
Unlike paper, Bagasse doesn’t involve chopping down trees. Deforestation accounts for 20 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. By using sugar cane in place of wood pulp, we can lower pollution and preserve forest ecosystems. Bagasse causes little or no environmental impact.
Heat resistant
Bagasse is durable with a high heat tolerance of up to 180 degrees Celsius. This makes it suitable for hot food product labels for example, and is safe for use in a microwave. On the other end of the spectrum Bagasse cane fibre also performs well in the cold and is suitable for use in the freezer.
Water resistance
Bagasse is good for wine bottle labels and other drinks that will go into a fridge or ice bucket. It is specifically designed for wine labelling where the complete packaging should be biodegradable.
