Taking responsibility. Rethinking packaging.

Material selection, recyclability and resource-conscious production are becoming increasingly important for labels and packaging. We support you with custom-made packaging solutions and provide transparent information about materials, product properties and the measures we take in our production processes.

Recyclable materials

Depending on the product and configuration, we offer recyclable paper, cardboard and film materials. Recyclability depends on the complete material structure and any additional finishes.

Optimised production

With production quantities tailored to demand, optimised print sheet utilisation and coordinated manufacturing processes, we aim to reduce material consumption and production waste.

Modern energy concept

We use solar power, heat recovery and a heating system with a gas boiler, buffer tank and air-source heat pumps to improve the energy efficiency of our production facilities.

Regional production

We manufacture in Saxony and work with regional tradespeople and businesses. This allows us to strengthen our cooperation with partners in the local area.

Our measures for the future

We have refurbished vacant industrial buildings instead of constructing new ones, use solar power generated on our factory roof for a large part of our production and develop packaging solutions that combine environmental responsibility, legal requirements and product protection. Through these measures, we invest in our production sites, energy supply and the ongoing development of our packaging solutions.

Modern technology

When investing in new printing and manufacturing machines, we pay attention to high energy efficiency, electricity and compressed air consumption, and overall quality in terms of wear, repairs and spare parts.

Energy-efficient building refurbishment

When selecting new locations for Labelprint24, we give vacant building complexes a new purpose as modern production facilities – with an energy concept based on photovoltaics and heat pumps in line with current KfW standards.

750 kVA solar power

The solar installation covers an area of almost 7,000 m² and supplies the majority of our annual electricity consumption – on sunny days, we even feed a 50% surplus into the public grid.

70% Tool-free jobs

Laser die-cutting allows us to manufacture products without conventional cutting dies. This eliminates the material and energy required to produce these tools.

LED lighting

LED lighting uses less electricity than conventional incandescent lamps, has a long service life and contains no mercury. This helps us reduce the electricity consumption of our lighting systems.

Charging stations for electric cars

We support our employees’ switch to electric mobility with three charging stations at Plant 2. In future, we will continue to expand the charging options and further electrify our vehicle fleet.

“We are constantly working on optimising our internal processes. With our self-developed nesting software for cartons, we calculate the most cost-effective production method with the least waste on the press sheet for every quotation. In label printing, we use grouped jobs to maximise utilisation of the print web, which results in less waste.”

Stefan Harder, Managing Director

The bee project

Bee colonies with 30,000–40,000 bees each live on our company premises at Plant 2. In cooperation with the Riesa Beekeeping Association, trained Labelprint24 employees look after the hives and harvest the honey.

“For more than a year, we immersed ourselves in the subject of bees, their way of life and the basics of beekeeping. This also included learning how to handle the equipment properly, such as bee suits, hive tools, smokers (for gently calming the bees) and everything needed for hive care and later for harvesting honey. A special highlight was our first own honey – naturally with an in-house label from Labelprint24.”

Materials and recyclability at a glance

As a manufacturer of labels and packaging, it is important to us to offer materials that can be returned to the material cycle after use. Our range includes materials that are recyclable depending on their composition and processing, some of which are also made using recycled content.

Depending on the material, our label and cardboard materials, such as recycled paper, grass board, natural board and corrugated board, are made from virgin or recycled fibres. Our film materials are also available in mono-material variants, with recyclability depending on the specific material structure. For labels, film materials can also be matched to the packaging material – such as PET bottles – to support recycling within the same material stream.

“In recent years, not only production regulations and standards have evolved, but customer requirements have as well. This applies above all to the materials used, such as mono-materials, recycled materials and alternative raw materials. Other important aspects of sustainability for us are regional suppliers, short delivery routes and demand-oriented digital production with exact batch sizes.”

From a DIY store to a modern production facility

By converting a former DIY store located close to our headquarters, we have created a modern production facility that also represents an investment in more energy-efficient production. To reduce energy consumption and the use of fossil fuels in production, we installed, among other things, a photovoltaic system for electricity generation and a hybrid heating system using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and air-source heat pumps. Heat recovery from our large printing presses and compressed air generation further reduces the heating energy required in production.
