In the nursery, every day is a race against the clock. Bestel companies have to be ready, customers are increasingly asking for sustainable choices, and certifications like PlanetProof or Groenkeur are being emphasized more in tenders. The pressure to demonstrate sustainable practices is growing.
In practice, however, little changes to the process. Labels remain essential for maintaining order in the fields and in inventory. But choosing the right material can certainly make a difference these days.
Whether you're a nurseryman or responsible for purchasing, slot labels are a key element in the process. They maintain order among thousands of plants and trees and ensure error-free deliveries.
A label needs to do more than just stay put. It must withstand sun, rain, and fluctuating temperatures. It must remain legible until the plant leaves the nursery. And it must run smoothly through the printer or labeling system.
In practice this means one thing: you want materials that you can trust blindly.
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) is the material we deliberately chose for the production of our slot labels. While PVC is stiffer and less expensive, HDPE excels in properties essential for the nursery industry.
Flexible and light – HDPE is flexible and lighter than PVC, making the labels more resistant to bending or banging without tearing.
Impact resistant and durable – the material has an exceptionally long service life, is corrosion-resistant and remains reliable even with intensive use.
Weatherproof – HDPE is resistant to sun, rain, UV radiation and temperature fluctuations, ideal for outdoor applications in the nursery.
Recyclable – HDPE is highly recyclable after use, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
In addition, HDPE slot labels Available in various colors, making it easy to code and differentiate batches. For growers looking for a strong, practical, and durable solution with a long lifespan, HDPE is a proven material with years of practical experience.
