Mabel’s Labels Inks Are GREENGUARD Gold Certified and Eco-Conscious ✔
We print our labels using GREENGUARD-certified inks, and we’re gold-certified! Which means they meet even stricter standards for low chemical emissions. These inks are specifically formulated for use in sensitive settings such as schools, healthcare facilities, and daycares, safer for both your family and the environment, offering a cleaner, greener option compared to other brands that use solvent-based or chemical-heavy inks.
They comply with enhanced safety criteria to protect vulnerable groups, including children and the elderly. Translation? You get vibrant, durable labels that are better for the environment and better for your family. Win-win!
Repurposing Laminate Liner for Cellulose Insulation Used in Walls, Attics, & Ceilings 🏡
We found a better way to reuse even the trickiest parts of our production process: the laminate liner. Our laminate liner doesn’t go to the landfill—it’s repurposed for home insulation! We save over 16,000 lbs of our material liner from the landfill every year by partnering with a local company that provides sustainable solutions for builders.
This not only keeps tons of laminate waste out of the trash but also helps reduce energy use by insulating homes more efficiently!
In 2025 year we are estimating that we will divert 16,560lbs/7,520kgs of waste from the landfill!
Not only are our labels the best, but they are also eco-friendly, and we also offer free shipping on every order. No minimums, no hidden fees—just awesome labels delivered to your door without extra cost.
FSC-Certified Paper Means Responsible Sourcing 🌳🌲
All of our packaging materials are made with FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified paper. This ensures that the paper we use comes from responsibly managed forests, which protect ecosystems and support sustainable forestry.
When you choose Mabel’s Labels, you’re not just getting top-tier labels—you’re also supporting sustainable forestry practices. We don’t cut corners, we stay committed to eco-friendly choices from production through to delivery.
Our Bag Tags Are 100% Recyclable!
Unlike other plastic accessories, Mabel’s Labels Bag Tags are recyclable. When your Bag Tag has finished its journey with your kiddo, simply remove the fastener and toss it in your blue box. That means fewer plastic items piling up in the landfill.
Our Office & Production Facility: Less Waste, Less Energy
We don’t just talk about being eco-friendly—we live it daily in our Hamilton workspace. Our office and production facility are designed to reduce waste and conserve energy:
- LED Lighting on Sensors: Our energy-efficient LED lights are motion-sensor activated, reducing energy consumption when areas are not in use.
- Robust Recycling Program: We drink a LOT of coffee (seriously, it’s a core part of our workflow), and we’ve got a system in place to ensure that all our coffee pods get recycled properly. We partner with a trusted recycling provider to ensure all production waste is responsibly recycled. Our team strictly follows recycling protocols to minimize landfill contributions.
We work hard to ensure our environmental responsibility extends far beyond our products.
Our Labels Help You Reduce Waste (and Prevent Plastics in the Landfill)
Did you know that most lost and found items that aren’t claimed within a month often end up in landfills? That’s thousands of plastic water bottles, jackets, and personal items being thrown out every year.
By labeling reusable containers like water bottles, lunch boxes, and clothing, you can prevent your valuable items from being lost forever (or worse, ending up in the garbage). Our durable, waterproof labels stay put through the wash, rough play, and everyday adventures—helping families save money while saving the planet.
