The Edikio range of consumables offers two alternatives to PVC: 

  • PLA/WOOD cards
  • paper cards

These alternative cards for reduced environmental impact have many benefits and a wide range of personalization options in black monochrome with our Edikio Guest and Edikio Price Tag software. They are suitable for the hospitality sector and other businesses, including wine merchants and delicatessens.

 

PLA/WOOD cards: the sustainable alternative to PVC

test-edikiot-pla.pngWith their natural wood look, PLA/WOOD cards offer similar benefits to conventional PVC cards. 

They are:

  • Durable 
  • Easy to clean

With their attractive, professional-looking black monochrome finish, they are ideal for:

  • top-of-the-range buffet counters, product displays, and other services in the hospitality sector
  • attractive displays in specialty stores and for other commercial products.

 

 

When you choose PLA/WOOD cards you are choosing a card that has a 42% lower environmental impact than a PVC card*. They are made of biosourced materials, partly recycled: 

  • Polylactic acid (PLA) is a sustainable plastic substitute made from renewable biosourced resources such as corn or sugarcane; it is not derived from petroleum and is non-toxic.
  • Wood fiber is a coproduct of the industrial processing of PEFC certified wood from sustainably managed forests.
