New Package Labels With a Green Twist

Apr 13, 2008

We are thrilled with our new eco-friendly labels produced by a wonderful company in Colorado called Lightning Labels. These labels are coated with a material called EarthFirst PLA, made from corn instead of imported petroleum found on most label films.

From Lightning Labels:

Most film material (durable material that is both waterproof and oilproof), such as the popular white BOPP material, are made from petroleum. Now, there is an alternative - it is a material called EarthFirst PLA and it is made from corn, a renewable resource. “Until recently there have been virtually no environmentally friendly options for people who purchase labels,” said Steve Smith, president of Lightning Labels. “We are committed to earth-friendly business practices, and so we are delighted to be one of the first digital label printers in the country to stock the EarthFirst PLA corn-based material.”


 

“The American Breakfast experience begins before you even take a sip. I always appreciate the rich aroma before enjoying the full bodied flavor of this fabulous tea!”Nancy W./ Fairbanks, Alaska
