Water Soluble Labels, Eco-Friendly Dissolvable No Residue Stickers
Product description
Water soluble labels, also known as water-degradable labels and water-dissolvable labels, are new eco-friendly self-adhesive identification products made of special water-soluble paper or water-soluble film face materials paired with dedicated eco-friendly water-soluble glue. Different from traditional paper and plastic labels, the entire label structure is hydrolyzable in water, with both face material and adhesive dissolving synchronously. Featuring zero glue traces, no solid residue and zero microplastic pollution, these lightweight eco-friendly water washable stickers are ideal for green production and recycling scenarios, serving as an upgraded alternative to traditional hard-to-clean labels.
Standard water soluble labels can dissolve rapidly within 30 seconds in normal temperature water, with faster dissolving speed in warm or hot water. The dissolved substances are starch-based natural degradable materials, non-toxic and harmless, and can be directly discharged into sewers. They eliminate manual label peeling and secondary cleaning work, greatly simplifying the cleaning and recycling process of products and containers.

Product Categories
According to dissolving performance and application scenarios, water soluble labels are divided into two main categories to precisely meet the needs of various industries:
1. Fully Water Soluble Labels
The face material, adhesive and coating can all dissolve completely in water with thorough dissolving effect and zero residue. As the most mainstream and widely used type, they are suitable for scenarios requiring thorough cleaning, sterile zero-residue standards and container reuse, focusing on one-time identification and traceless cleaning requirements.
2. Semi-Water Soluble Labels
Only the adhesive layer is water-soluble; the face material softens and falls off in water without complete dissolution. With higher cost performance, they are suitable for scenarios requiring quick label removal without face material degradation, and are mostly used for industrial temporary identification and daily commodity labeling.

Eco-friendly high-tack glue, strong bonding, anti-peel.
Product Features
Water soluble labels integrate practicality, environmental friendliness and universality with outstanding core advantages, perfectly adapting to modern production and environmental compliance requirements:
1. Fast Water Dissolving & Zero Residue
Dissolution can be triggered by normal temperature clean water, and the dissolving efficiency is doubled in warm or hot water. The whole process leaves no residual glue, paper scraps or impurities. These zero residue adhesive labels completely solve the pain points of traditional labels such as residual glue after peeling, mildew caused by residues and tedious cleaning work, and avoid bacterial growth and cross-contamination induced by adhesive residues.
2. Safe, Eco-Friendly & Fully Degradable
Made of plant-based renewable raw materials, free of fluorescent agents and harmful chemical ingredients, non-toxic and odorless. The dissolved products are naturally biodegradable without producing microplastics or polluting water and soil. They meet food-grade safety standards and environmental production specifications, complying with global sustainable development compliance requirements.
3. Firm Adhesion & Strong Compatibility
Maintain stable viscosity in dry environments, attaching smoothly and firmly without warping or falling off. They can be stably bonded to various substrates including glass, ceramic, plastic, metal, food surfaces and textiles, ensuring stable identification performance during conventional product warehousing, transportation and display cycles.
4. Mature Craftsmanship & Customizable Support
Support multiple processing technologies including color printing, monochrome printing, hot stamping, lamination, special-shaped die-cutting and variable data printing. As professional custom printed soluble labels, they can be customized in any size, shape, pattern, text, QR code and serial number. Compatible with mainstream printing methods such as thermal printing, thermal transfer printing and inkjet printing, they adapt to mass standardized production and personalized customization needs.
5. Labor-Saving, Time-Saving & Cost-Effective
No manual label peeling or auxiliary cleaning with alcohol and glue remover is required. The dissolvable stickers automatically fall off and dissolve after water washing, significantly reducing manual cleaning time and labor costs, and improving the recycling and reuse efficiency of containers and appliances.
6. Dry Resistant & Wide Adaptability
Stable performance in dry and normal temperature environments, not easy to be damaged or fall off due to moisture. They adapt to conventional warehousing, indoor display and short-distance transportation environments. The dissolution function is only triggered by water, with clear performance differentiation between dry and wet conditions.

SY water-soluble labels dissolve completely within 30 seconds in water with zero residue, enabling easy container recycling and reuse.
Product Usage Instructions
Label Pasting
Clean the substrate surface to keep it dry, dust-free and oil-free. Peel off the base paper of the water soluble label, attach it flat to the product surface, and press the edges firmly to eliminate bubbles. The labels can maintain firm adhesion in conventional environments, suitable for long-term static identification.
Removal & Cleaning
Manual peeling is unnecessary. Simply rinse or soak the labeled area with water, and the water soluble labels will soften and dissolve quickly for automatic traceless removal. Warm water wiping can accelerate dissolution for effortless cleaning of stubborn residues.
Storage Requirements
Seal and store in a cool, dry and ventilated place, keeping away from humid environments, water sources and high-temperature areas to prevent premature moisture dissolution. The recommended storage temperature is 10-25℃. Avoid direct sunlight to ensure long-term valid storage.
