Paper Fresh Produce Labels | Plastic Replacement | NZ MADE

Fresh Produce Paper PLU Labels

Our Paper Fresh Produce Labels offer a premium, renewable alternative to conventional plastic-based labels for fruit and vegetable packaging. Designed for modern produce supply chains, they deliver exceptional performance while supporting your sustainability goals.

Why Choose Paper Produce Labels?

1. 100% Recyclable in the Paper Waste Stream

Engineered from renewable paper, these labels are fully recyclable through kerbside paper systems—no separation required. Our wayfarer labels are designed for circularity.

2. Food-Safe & Supply-Chain Durable

Built to withstand the rigours of fresh-produce handling, including:

  • Chilled and high-humidity environments
  • Transport and retail display
    The material maintains print clarity, adhesion, and performance across the full journey from post harvest to point of sale.

3. Sustainable Branding That Stands Out

High-quality printability ensures crisp graphics, batch codes, and branding. Showcase your ESG commitment directly on pack with visible, low-impact labelling.

4. Reduced Plastic Footprint

Switching to paper labels is one of the simplest ways to reduce non-recyclable plastic across your produce ranges. With global recyclability rates for paper significantly higher than plastic, the environmental benefit is immediate.

5. Compatible With Existing Equipment

We can design labels to run seamlessly on standard applicators and packing-line machinery, reducing changeover costs and simplifying adoption.
