Environmentally friendly product development
Environmentally friendly product development
Paper Attention/ Clear Paper Sticker
This is a product that replaces film material with paper material. The greatest feature is that although it is a paper material, it has the same transparency as a film material. Reduce the excessive use of plastic products.
See the details of Clear Paper StickerDot Tuck®
Apply dot-shaped glue. The feature is that the adhesive strength does not decrease even if it is repeatedly applied and peeled off. A water-based emulsion type special adhesive that does not use organic solvents is used, and FSC® forest certified paper is used as the surface base material.
ES Sepa
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.
cute card
Shrink film with backing that can be used as an alternative to blister packs. Since it does not require a mold, it can be produced at a low cost, and the amount of plastic used can be reduced compared to a blister container.
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.
See details of Clear Wrappingthin label
The amount of waste can be reduced by making the surface paper and backing paper (separator) thinner. Even with the same number of labels, the weight is lighter, which reduces exhaust emissions during transportation.
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.
Emulsion adhesive for PL
A tack adhesive for seals and labels that uses an emulsion-type adhesive that complies with the positive list of the Food Sanitation Law. This is a newly developed product from the perspective of providing safer and more secure products.
Cillpita
"Cillpita" is a label that can be affixed to chilled products that are prone to condensation. It is suitable for attaching to chilled products that are temperature-controlled in a refrigerated state of 0°C to 10°C from manufacturing to sales.

A paper packaging material that is heat-sealable and resistant to water and oil, even though it does not use plastic film. It is an environmentally friendly product that can reduce the amount of plastic used and the amount of CO2 emitted when incinerated.

This is Japan's first label using "Palmyashix®" paper, which is made by pulping the coconut palm that is produced when palm oil is produced and blending it with raw materials. "Palmyashix®" is a paper developed by Crown Package Co., Ltd.

Uses limestone. This is a new material label that is both environmentally friendly and functional.

This is an environmentally friendly product that uses 100% recycled paper as the surface material for the release paper used in stickers and labels.

We have developed a paper that uses recycled release paper (separator) generated during manufacturing at our group factories.

This label has an adhesive that allows it to be stuck firmly, but it also reacts with an alkaline solution and peels off cleanly.

This is a top seal thermal that is partially coated with two colors of black and red thermal ink.
See details of 2-color top seal thermalSoft packaging with water-based gravure printing and non-solvent lamination
Water-based gravure printing using ink that uses less organic solvents and non-solvent laminating using adhesives that do not use organic solvents not only reduce the environmental impact, but also reduce the impact on operator health.

Efforts to address environmental issues
biomass boiler
A biomass boiler is a facility that converts the waste generated when producing seal products into fuel and uses it as thermal energy in our own factory. This equipment reduces the consumption of fossil fuels.
Adoption of non-sol lamination processing
At OSP, we are replacing about half of our laminates with non-solvent laminates that do not use solvents. The environmental impact caused by organic solvents (CO₂ and VOC emissions) can be significantly reduced.
smart factory
AI and IoT in the factory linked with POS systems nationwide grasp the consumption of stickers, labels, etc. nationwide in real time on a 24-hour basis, and we are proceeding with an operation plan for an unmanned factory that will start receiving orders and printing.
Distribution of eco bags
The OSP Group distributed eco bags to all approximately 4,000 employees. This is because we want each and every employee to think about environmental issues. The OSP Group will continue to create environmentally friendly products and initiatives.
digital printing
Digital printing eliminates printing plates and reduces waste as there is no printing loss. The use of water-based inks also reduces VOC and CO₂ emissions.
Select 30
We will analyze ordered products and promote the 30 most frequently used colors to improve the efficiency of color matching work. We are also striving to significantly reduce the amount of organic solvents used for cleaning ink.
Recycled PET
We are promoting the recycling of PET bottles by manufacturing labels with PET film that uses collected PET bottles as part of the raw material.
