Businesses around the world have become more aware of their environmental, social, and financial responsibility to ensure ongoing corporate sustainability.
To ensure sustainability reaches all areas of your business, we have two sticker products encompassing the environmental consciousness many seek. Our eco-soft matte stickers and eco-natural paper stickers are great eco-friendly products that we are proud to have part of our range.
Why use stickers?
Stickers are a versatile tool that can be used for anything from window displays to product labeling. Both our eco-friendly sticker options embody this type of versatility and create opportunities for businesses to extend their sustainability to all aspects of their brand. But our eco-soft matte stickers and eco-natural paper stickers are two very different products.
To help you decide what’s best for your brand, here is a breakdown of the differences between our eco-soft matte stickers and eco-natural paper stickers.
What are matte stickers?
Matte stickers are a type of sticker that has a soft, smooth finish with no shine. This makes them perfect for displays, product labeling, and much more. They are often made from waterproof vinyl or polypropylene material, making them durable and long-lasting. Matte stickers can also be printed with eco-friendly inks, such as soy-based inks, helping to reduce environmental impact.
Eco-Soft Matte Stickers
As one of our favorite sustainable products, eco-soft matte stickers have become a staple for many customers, and here’s why:
- 100% Greenguard Certified: In compliance with the General Emissions Evaluation requirements, our eco-soft matte stickers use inks, coatings, and stock are Greenguard Certified, which ensures less air and water pollution in indoor environments.
- Produced With No PVC: Our eco-soft matte stickers are made on material that has no PVC. When disposed of, PVC can cause air and water pollution and harm humans through the food supply. Even though it is produced with non-PVC material, it is still as strong as vinyl which is tear-proof!
- Safe For Dishwasher Use: Our eco-soft matte is made to last. Each sticker is incredibly tough, scratch-resistant, and waterproof, making it safe for dishwasher use.

Eco-Natural Paper Stickers
New to our product line, our eco-natural paper stickers has lived up to the sustainability and performance that our customers are used to, and here’s why:
- Produced On Real, Acid-Free Paper: Forget vinyl and non-PVC materials; our eco-natural paper stickers is entirely paper-based. The stickers will have a longer shelf life and won't yellow or break down as quickly as standard paper by using acid-free paper.
- Made With FSC Certified Paper: The paper we use to create our eco-natural paper stickers are FSC Certified, meaning it comes from responsibly managed forests.
- Greenguard Certified Inks: To ensure every aspect of our meets our sustainability standards, we create them with GreenGuard Certified Inks.
- Limited Dishwasher Use: Ensuring that these stickers are dishwasher safe, they are produced on water-resistant paper — this is evident as the backing of the paper is blue. Even though different in color, it will not compromise the print's quality but benefit the sticker as it helps eliminate light from shining through. Remember that water resistance is not waterproof, so you can expect eco-natural paper sticker’s longevity to be affected after a few rounds in the dishwasher.
- Ideal For Outdoor Use: Our eco-natural paper stickers have a six-month lifespan when used outdoors, making them ideal for once-off projects.
- Made For Short-Term Use: If you’re looking for a short-term eco-friendly sticker, opt for our eco-natural paper stickers as it is produced to be used for time-sensitive marketing campaigns.
Which is better: eco-natural paper or eco-soft matte stickers?
Equally environmentally conscious, it is a tough call to make when choosing which sticker is better. Produced to serve different purposes, our eco-soft matte stickers and eco-natural paper stickers are exceptional products that do what they are meant to do. For long-term, weatherproof products, opt for the eco-soft matte option. But if you’re looking for a paper-based, short-term product, opt for the eco-natural paper sticker option.
