Sticker Gizmo chooses NatureFlexTM renewable andcompostable facestock for their labels

British labels producer, Sticker Gizmo, is committed to providing the highest quality labels
and stickers with first class customer service. Founded in 2018, the company has
invested in the latest digital printers and laser cutting technologies to produce in-house all
their high-quality labels. To achieve the perfect label every time, they only use the highest
quality materials.
In addition to their standard paper and vinyl labels, Gizmo now offers a range of
sustainable solutions based on Futamura’s NatureFlexTM facestock materials and a
compostable pressure sensitive adhesive. This new range of labels offers a great solution
for many applications : perfect for luxury products, product labels, big or small size
stickers when a sustainable alternative is required.
The new labels are available in clear, white or metallised to fit all client requirements.
These can be printed any colour and achieve a highly decorative finish. They offer all the
benefits of traditional labels and much more on a sustainability front. The NatureFlexTM
facestock is made from renewable wood pulp sourced from responsibly managed
plantations. It also meets all the relevant standards for industrial composting, including
EN13432, and certified for home composting according to the OK Compost Home
protocol or by Din Certco / ABA to the French and Australian home composting
standards.

Sticker Gizmo chose labels made from NatureFlex for their versatility, printability and
sustainability. Alistair Tillen, Founder of Sticker Gizmo, confirms : ‘the new NatureFlex
based labels are an excellent addition to our portfolio : they are a high quality product and
offer a valid end of life option after use. We are seeing more brands switch to sustainable
labelling as long as they don’t have to compromise on quality and being able to offer
a high-quality sustainable alternative to our customers is essential for future growth.’

Andy Sweetman, Sales and Marketing Director EMEA at Futamura, adds: ‘the labels produced
by Sticker Gizmo with our NatureFlex films have the same appeal as conventional plastic ones
with the benefit of having a valid end of life. We are delighted that our NatureFlex films are used
in this application, in combination with a compostable adhesive. These labels show what is
possible today in the self-adhesive label market. As legislation evolves, we are likely to require
more compostable labels : the most current example is the French AGEC law defining the
requirements for fruit and vegetable labels in France. ‘
Premier Coating & Converters Ltd is the British company that brings the label structure together
for Sticker Gizmo. According to Bruce Paddy, the Technical and Operations Director : ‘It is a
pleasure to be part of the chain bringing the NatureFlex facestock together with a compostable
adhesive and a release liner for Sticker Gizmo. The close collaboration with our customer and
our supply chain partners has been key to bring these new labels to the market place. We look
forward to bringing new developments into this market segment in the near future.’
