In recent years, with the gradual improvement of people's environmental awareness, green printing is receiving unprecedented attention. The introduction of relevant policies and regulations has made it difficult for printing companies that do not pay attention to environmental protection. As an important part of the printing industry, label printing has also begun to be tested by environmentally conscious companies and consumers. Whether embraced or rejected, green label printing will be a new direction for sustainable development of all label printing companies.
Foreign countries started early in green label printing. As early as 2009, the American Label and Label Manufacturers Association (TLMI) began to develop the LIFE certification program for packaging processing companies and suppliers. LIFE is the abbreviation of the Label Environmental Program, which is formulated to help companies become more sustainable and reduce their impact on the environment. Many well-known companies in the label field, such as Avery and UPM Raflatac, have passed this certification.
In China, although there is no independent certification standard for the label industry, some label printing companies have integrated the concept of green label printing into the entire process of the entire label printing life cycle based on social responsibility and environmental awareness. For example, Beijing Shuangyan Trademark Color Printing Co., Ltd. proposed the green label printing concept of "pre-printing prevention, printing standardization, and printing end management" to achieve green management and standardization of the entire process of label printing production; Zhongbiao Anti-counterfeiting Printing Co., Ltd. has undergone a comprehensive transformation and upgrading of the enterprise, and passed the green printing certification audit with a score of 84.5 in the on-site audit, and obtained the China Environmental Labeling Product Certification Certificate. These companies are all leaders in the implementation of green printing by label printing companies. While taking the lead in improving the appearance of label printing production, they will also gain the economic benefits brought by green label printing in the future.
We know that green label printing is not achieved overnight. It not only requires the exploration and practice of label printing companies, but also requires the efforts of label equipment manufacturers, label material providers, brand owners, and even mass consumers. We believe that with the joint efforts of the entire industrial chain of the label industry, the dream of green label printing in my country will eventually come true. Let us work together!
