Eco-Safe Stickers: What Are They and How Can You Use Them?
June 17, 2025
Whether you're labeling products, personalizing your belongings, or creating promotional materials, making the sustainable choice is easy with StickerYou’s Eco-Safe Stickers. These eco-friendly alternatives offer the same vibrant colors and durability as traditional stickers but with a significantly reduced environmental footprint.
What Makes Eco-Safe Stickers Different?
Eco-Safe stickers are crafted from 40% post-consumer recycled PET, reducing the demand for virgin plastic. Plus, unlike traditional vinyl stickers, Eco-Safe stickers eliminate the lamination step, further reducing plastic usage.
They also use water-based latex inks and non-toxic adhesives to reduce the environmental impact further. These inks still provide bold and saturated colors while the adhesive is just as strong as traditional vinyl stickers without leaving residue or surface damage behind.
Our Eco-Safe Stickers are the most comparable product to our standard vinyl without sacrificing durability or longevity. Available in sizes ranging from 1x1” up to 8.5x11” and featuring a matte finish, these stickers are ideal for packaging, branding, or general use. They even withstand applications on walls and floors!
How Do Eco-Safe Stickers Compare to Standard Die-Cut Stickers?
Feture | Eco-Safe Stickers | Standard Die-Cut Stickers |
Material | 40% post-consumer recycled PET | Standard vinyl |
Inks | Water-based latex (no harmful solvents) | Solvent-based inks |
Adhesive | Non-toxic, gentle, and residue-free | May contain harsher chemicals |
Lamination | None (no PET liner) | Often includes a PET liner |
Recyclability | Yes | Limited |
Environmental Impact | Lower plastic usage and waste | Higher plastic usage and waste |
According to a 2022 study, 51% of consumers say that sustainability is more important to them than it was 12 months ago. The study also found that 60% of consumers went for a sustainable or socially conscious product at least half the time. Environmentally conscious products are a massive value-added benefit for your business and can help you to stand out from the crowd.
StickerYou's Eco-Safe stickers balance style, durability, and environmental responsibility. By choosing these eco-friendly alternatives, you can enjoy high-quality stickers that align with your values and contribute to a more sustainable future.
