"The Commerce Label team fully understood what we wanted to accomplish with the esthetic of the bottle and collaborated with us through the challenge of finding the right label and surface to apply it to. We worked together to research and test various labels, fonts, printability and designs to come up with an end product that looks great and offers incredible operation efficiency. We are also proud to know our end product is environmentally sound. Commerce Label is a UV ink printer, which means there is no ink waste and no water-based contamination released into the ground water.”
Green Manufacturing
Our focus is to be the premier supplier for flexographic labels, digital labels and custom packaging components, providing an excellent work atmosphere for its employees while practicing environmentally friendly and lean manufacturing processes.
Green Solutions start with Green manufacturing processes. Reducing the impact our manufacturing processes have on the environment is our focus. CLI produces product via water base Flexographic and UV Ink Jet Digital. Both of these processes are the cleanest, environmentally friendly print processes for package printing and label production.
CLI’s recycling program and commitment to green manufacturing begins with the label waste (matrix and set up materials) which is loaded into reusable containers and picked up by Rohn Industries , a Twin Cities recycling transfer station. The waste material is compacted and transported to Greenwood Fuels in Green Bay Wisconsin, who processes and converts the waste in to fuel pellets. The program converts non-recyclable label substrates into sustainable fuel pellets that are purchased by coal fired power plants as an alternative energy source, significantly reducing waste-to-landfill.
WATER BASED FLEXO
- Little or no VOC‘s or hazardous waste are generated during the manufacturing process, requiring no federal or state emissions permits to operate.
- The very limited amounts of water-based ink waste generated are routinely tested and can be disposed through the normal sewer drain system without posing a pollution or heath risk.
DIGITAL UV INK JET
- Significantly Reduces set-up & raw material waste to landfills
- Non-solvent base inks
- Uses less energy to operate
- No Ink Waste
COMMERCE MANUFACTURING
- All shop towels are recycled
- All corrugated is recycled
- All office paper is recycled
