      How To Weave Pantone's 2022 Color of the Year Into Labeling?

      Happy Gregorian Calendar New Year, Lunar New Year and a Very Peri PANTONE Color of the Year 2022!

      Personally I am a proud PANTONE Color Products enthusiast, sipping my coffee from a PANTONE 520 Aubergine-hued mug as I write this post. As we were developing our end-of-2021 marketing, I made sure we weaved in the year’s two colors — PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray and PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating. So it should not be much of a surprise that I was waiting in anticipation for them to announce their 2022 Color of The Year: PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri.

      We are so excited to start using the color in our marketing that the SixB team designed some festive logos for the occasion, featured here, incorporating a solid Very Peri in reverse as well as one with an image of fibers and orbs in reverse, as PANTONE has been highlighting in their materials about the color.

      The Story Behind The SixB Labels Shop

      At the time of this post's initial writing, it is the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century and actually in the midst of a 10-day period where we will witness in palindrome with the number's making up each day's date being in the same sequence whether it is read forwards or backwards. So on these auspicious days, it makes the most sense to share the backstory on a business initiative of ours that was about 5 years in the making: launching an e-commerce arm to our business that was mutually beneficial to our customers and those garnering such a title, all the  while being sustainable to our business.

      Biodegradable Paper and Repulpable Adhesive: What You Need to Know

      On the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, we still believe every day should be a celebration while taking particular note of the tradition that began in 1970. Eco-friendly printing has been a staple of SixB Labels operations since our early days. 2019's originally posted blog "Why Print Your Labels With FSC-Certified Paper and Water-Based Inks?" explained the reasoning behind our company's use of FSC (Forest Stewardship Certified) paper products and water-soluble inks. It has been a way of providing a cleaner and greener approach to label printing with cost accessibility.

      As technology and capabilities increase so do our eco-friendly label printing techniques. In this post, we will explore further and discuss some newer aspects of this greener approach to printing: the use of biodegradable materials.  We look at biodegradable label parts in the form of:

      • A newer and more sustainable choice: repulpable adhesive
      • Recyclable paper products 
      • The disposal of water-based inks

      While we dive into this topic below, a short note that SixB Labels is remaining open safely during the current pandemic, with more details in our post "We're Here For You" and your business. Please don't hesitate to contact us.

      What are the Elements of a Successful Mailing or Shipping Label?

      Labels used for addressing/mailing and packaging/shipping are the worker bees of the custom, pressure-sensitive label world: while they are everywhere, they seldom get the notice they deserve. However, properly printed and utilized, they could make a vital contribution to a business — facilitating commerce, for example; or classing up a correspondence; and even furthering branding strategies.
