Alternatives to PVC for your labels and personalized cards
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
With 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.
PLA/WOOD cards 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.
PLA/WOOD cards with standard CR80 dimensions (0.76mm thick) are compatible with: Edikio Guest and Price Tag, Access and Flex
They can be printed with the BLACK RMS black monochrome ribbon and are also compatible with Edikio accessories.
Paper cards: an alternative for short-term use
Paper cards are ideal for short-term use—from a few hours to a few days—or where there is minimum handling.
They are:
- Thick
- Wrinkle-free
- High quality with premium feel and dazzling whiteness
- Hand writable
They offer black monochrome quality printing at a reduced cost for the following applications:
- Price tags for packaged products
- Luggage labels
- Event cards
- Loyalty cards
- Gift cards
