Whether you want to use eco-friendly packaging materials or more <a href=\"\/category\/products\/eco-friendly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">earth-friendly product labels<\/a>, we&#8217;ve put together a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/smm\/sustainable-packaging\">sustainable packaging<\/a> ideas you can use for your small business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dissolvable-labels\">Dissolvable Labels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/blog-sustainablepackaging-dissolvable\" alt=\"Dissolvable labels are perfect for reusable containers making them great for  sustainable packaging\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Do you put your products in beautiful jars or bottles that customers might reuse?  Or is your packaging recyclable and do you want the label to be as well? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Dissolvable labels are a great eco-friendly option. You simply wash the container with warm water and the label will disappear as if it were never there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Once the labels dissolve, plastic, glass, and metal containers can easily be reused. Or customers can place the containers in the recycle bin without concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-space-between is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fa30ff44 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-small-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"\/blank\/material\/white-matte-dissolvable-labels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy Dissolvable Labels by the Sheet<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-small-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"\/products\/labels\/usage\/all-labels?filters=material_Dissolvable+Paper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy Dissolvable Labels in Retail Packs<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Removable Labels <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-top\" style=\"grid-template-columns:53% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.avery.com\/f_auto,c_scale,w_700\/web\/blog\/blog-sustainablepackaging-removablepaper\" alt=\"Removable labels help make products more sustainable\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Like dissolvable labels, <a href=\"\/blog\/label-adhesives-permanent-vs-removable-labels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">removable labels <\/a>allow customers to reuse packaging containers or recycle the containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">For paper or cardboard packaging, using removable paper labels means customers can reuse shipping boxes or easily recycle paper and cardboard boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Durable removable labels provide water and abrasion resistance but still remove cleanly when no longer needed.

I covered everything from the LA riots and LA Raiders to flash floods and red carpet movie premieres\u2014basically, the usual glamorous stuff. Later, at The Los Angeles Times, I spent more than a decade covering college, professional and high school sports. I kept my NBA ties strong by working in PR for their summer league and writing for NBA.com. I also spent 9 unforgettable New Year's Days working in the press box for Rose Bowl games. When the newspaper industry started crumbling, I transitioned into covering commercial real estate\u2014until the recession came along and crashed that party too. (Honestly, that was probably a blessing. Writing about cap rates, capital stacks, bridge loans, and mezzanine loans was giving me a serious case of brain fog.) Enter Avery, swooping in to save the day. Now, I\u2019ve been with Avery for almost 15 years, where I\u2019ve been able to put my writing experience to use in new ways. I write website content, marketing emails, and blog posts\u2014basically, all the words that help businesses and consumers figure out how to label their stuff. When I\u2019m not glued to a screen, I\u2019m out exploring the desert landscapes around Las Vegas\u2014whether it\u2019s hiking (walking) through Red Rock Canyon, cooling off at Mt. Charleston, or making the trek to Area 51 (because who doesn\u2019t love a good conspiracy?). I avoid the Strip unless there\u2019s a rock band I can\u2019t miss or I have friends in town.
