Eco-friendly product development

Paper attention/ Clear Paper Sticker

Paper attention/ Clear Paper Sticker

This product replaces plastic film with a paper-based material. The most unique feature is that, despite being made of paper, it has the same translucency as plastic film. It helps reduce the excessive use of plastic products.

Dot Tack®

Dot TackⓇ

Apply glue in dot form.
It has the advantage that its adhesive strength does not decrease even if it is repeatedly stuck and peeled off.
It uses a special water-based emulsion type adhesive that does not contain organic solvents, and the surface base material is FSC® certified paper.

ES Separator

Paper attention/ Clear Paper Sticker

It is a release paper with a paper base material that achieves greater transparency than products using poly-laminate, even though it does not use poly-laminate. You can contribute to the reduction of environmental impact by reducing the amount of plastic used.

Kyutto Card

Paper attention/ Clear Paper Sticker

This shrink film has a backing card that can be used as a blister pack. It can be produced at a low cost since no molds are required, and it reduces the amount of plastic used compared to blister containers.

Clear Wrapping

Clear Wrapping

It is a packaging material that does not have a backing paper, just like a separate label. It is a product that can be used as a product sticker, a sealing sticker, and a collective display sticker with a single Clear Wrapping, and can be easily separated when discarded.

Thin Labels

Thin Labels

By thinning the surface paper and backing paper (release liner), the amount of waste can be reduced. Even with the same number of labels, the weight is lighter, which also reduces exhaust emissions during transportation.

Separation label

Separation label

Since it does not use a backing paper (separator), it does not generate waste. In addition, it is an eco-friendly seal label because it can roll approximately 1.5 times as many labels as labels with backing paper, even in one roll of the same lineage.

Positive List-Compliant Emulsion Adhesive

Positive List-Compliant Emulsion Adhesive

This is a tack glue for stickers and labels that uses an emulsion-type adhesive that complies with the positive list of the Food Sanitation Act.
This is a newly developed product with the aim of providing safer and more secure products.

Environmental initiatives

Biomass Boiler

Biomass Boiler

A biomass boiler is a facility that converts waste generated during the production of seal products into fuel that can be used as heat energy within our own factories. This equipment reduces fossil fuel usage.

Adoption of non-sol lamination method

At OSP, we are currently in the process of replacing approximately half of our laminations with a non-solvent lamination method that does not use solvents.
The environmental impact (CO2 and VOC emissions) caused by organic solvents can be significantly reduced.

Smart Factory

Plans are in the works for an unmanned factory where AI and IoT systems are linked with POS systems nationwide to monitor the consumption of stickers, labels, and other products in real-time 24/7, and initiate order processing and printing.

Distribution of Eco-bags

The OSP Group distributed eco-bags to all of our 4,000 employees. This initiative stems from the desire for each employee to consider environmental issues more personally. The OSP Group is committed to creating environmentally friendly products and initiatives.

Digital Printing

Digital Printing

Digital printing does not require the creation of printing plates and has no printing waste, which helps reduce waste. By using water-based inks, it also achieves reductions in VOC and CO₂ emissions.

Select 30

By analyzing ordered products and promoting the use of the 30 most frequently used colors, we aim to streamline the color mixing process. We are also working to significantly reduce the amount of organic solvents used for ink cleaning.
