Our eco-friendly product range expands
After considerable testing and strategic purchasing, PCC adds PCR release liners to it’s product range, meaning a more sustainable root to eco-friendly labelstock. We not only have sustainable substrates that make a difference, we now also have release liners.
What does PCR stand for?
PCR stands for Post-Consumer Recycled.
What does PCR mean?
Using PCR materials means less landfill waste and reduces requirement for virgin resources. It also increases the prospects of conservation, due to not needing to cut down further trees.
What does that mean for your label stock?
When your customers come to you for a sustainable substrate that has a sustainable liner, you’ll be able to say that you have an eco-friendly solution, thanks to PCC’s efforts to source a PCR material. After considerable testing on printability, lay flat and adhesion, we have now installed an alternative liner into our portfolio.
In today’s day and age and eco-aware society, that’s huge. With changes in legislation across the globe and a clear drive from end users for sustainable label solutions, you’ll be in pole position to provide them with the eco-friendly label constructions.

Why is that important?
Our customers’ customers are crying out for more sustainable solutions. We’re hearing that every single week at PCC. A clear shift in the labelling industry means that a shift is needed from all manufacturers. You’ll be supporting the planet when purchasing a product with a PCR liner.
“Last year, I was tasked with sourcing a PCR liner that would work for us. Because I had originally started on the shop floor and worked on there for many years, it gave me a good understanding of what type of quality was required for it to be a success at the production stage. With tests complete in our lab, we have found the right supplier, and now we can build on our portfolio.”
