Biodegradable Swing Tags
About Biodegradable Swing Tags
Made from PaperWise, a certified paper alternative created from agricultural residue rather than trees, Biodegradable swing tags let you brand and price your products without relying on virgin wood pulp.
PaperWise is made from the stalks and leaves left over after harvesting food crops — rice, wheat, barley, oats and sugarcane — material that would otherwise be burned as waste. An independent life-cycle assessment (to ISO 14040/14044) found PaperWise has a 47% lower environmental impact than paper made from trees, and 29% lower than recycled paper. It's certified home compostable (DIN CERTCO), industrially compostable (EN 13432), recyclable (PTS), and safe for direct food contact (ISEGA) — with full colour print quality that holds up just as well as our standard card.
Typical uses:
- Sustainable and zero-waste fashion brands
- Organic, natural and eco-certified product lines
- Food, drink and cosmetics packaging needing food-safe tags
- Brands reducing or removing tree-based paper from their supply chain
- Any business wanting a swing tag that backs up a genuine sustainability claim, not just implies one

What is a swing tag?
A swing tag is a small printed tag attached to a product — usually by cord, pin, or loop — used to display branding, pricing, and product information at the point of sale. For many customers, it's the first physical touchpoint they have with a brand, which is why the material, print quality, and information you choose to include all matter.
Common uses include:
- Branding and logo placement
- Pricing and product details
- Sizing, colour, or SKU information
- Care and wash instructions
- QR codes linking to your website or socials
