Vegan cactus leather for your labels

2023-03-08
Vegan cactus leather for your labels

This is only available from us: label made of vegan cactus leather!

Here and there, the innovative plant leather is already being used for seat covers or vegan leather accessories. We have optimized it specifically for laser engraving your labels. Fine lines, motifs and lettering of your engraved design also come into their own on the vegan plant leather made from fig cacti.
Discover more about the new cactus leather in our web shop or design your cactus leather label directly in the configurator.

The fig cactus Opuntia ficus-indica is an undemanding plant that does not need watering or fertilizing.

To make cactus leather, nopal, the leaf of the cactus, is harvested, crushed and then dried in the sun. The leaves keep growing back and can be harvested for up to eight years. The fig cactus is eaten as a vegetable in Mexico, the fruit is also popular with us. Since the plant grows in large quantities in dry areas, cactus leather production does not compete with food production.

Titanium coated stainless steel in many variants

They not only look good, but are also versatile: our new stainless steel labels in stylish metal colors with high-contrast engraving in your design.

They are the eye-catcher as a logo label on bags and accessories, as a high-quality name badge that is guaranteed not to be overlooked or as a pendant for everything that is important and dear to you. We produce them individually for you in any desired form. Of course, as always with great attention to detail and Made in Germany!

The durable titanium coating not only provides a rich color on the engraved front, but also prevents the label from scratching quickly.

The desired design is ready, but which colors should it be?

Costs rise, our principles remain

Cotton, leather, artifical leather, wood, stainless steel, the list of materials we use for the production of our labels is long. When purchasing, we pay attention to sustainability and quality. In addition, there are costs for energy, building maintenance, public charges and much more. Almost every supplier has increased their prices in recent months, or announced it for the near future.

" You always have a choice." (well-known folk wisdom)

What do our choices look like? Do we want to set our demands and goals lower?

Lower the quality of our products, the number and qualifications of the employees in our service team, or our goal of climate neutrality? Many of our competitors produce in Asia, where taxes are lower and wage costs are negligible.

Is this an alternative for us?

Since our founding in 1986, these are precisely the things that are especially close to our hearts. As a family business, we also think about the next generations. We want to keep it that way!

All products in our webshop will become slightly more expensive from 01 March 1 2022. At the same time, we are revising the shipping options we offer. With various service providers we are still in negotiations for fair solutions.

We hope for your understanding!

We deliver your organic cotton labels in 35mm width rolled up starting from 20 pieces. Simply cut the labels as needed. As cotton cannot be sealed, the cut edges will fray. The best thing to do is to enclose the ends in the seam or sew the labels folded over.

New: Individual care labels made of organic cotton

Nothing but the best directly on the skin!

Our professional care labels are now available in 3 particularly sustainable qualities:

  • Basic: We print your design in black on soft, white satin ribbon made from recycled polyester (rPET). Basic care labels are cut using a special ultrasound process. Therefore, the labels do not fray and have particularly soft edges.
  • Cotton: For your particularly sustainable projects, choose care labels made from undyed organic cotton. It's best to sew them on folded over or to bind the cotton care labels into the seam. Since cotton cannot be sealed, the cut edges will fray.
  • Color: The care labels in our Color version are colorful and particularly elegant. We print the high-quality satin ribbon made of recycled polyester (rPET) in all the colors of the rainbow according to your wishes.

Take a look now

Simply design and order directly online:

Label production with distance

2020-04-09
Label production with distance

What would DORTEX be without its many dedicated employees? Nothing!
Therefore, the health and well-being of the entire team is always the top priority.

Even in times of #SocialDistance we work closely together as a team and stay in contact with our customers. This is no problem with the modern media. But physically we have kept our distance.

Those who can, work in the home office. Where personal presence is required, work is done in shifts with a few employees. How does that work?

As usual, the service team is available for your questions by phone, e-mail and live chat. This is also possible from home without any problems. For coordination and mail processing one person in the DORTEX house is sufficient.

Our production employees work in several teams independently of each other. Cleaning and disinfection is carried out repeatedly in between.
In this way we ensure that we can produce your orders punctually. Even if individual employees should be absent or one of the teams has to go into quarantine.
You will receive your delivery on time!

But we are confident:

If everyone makes an effort, everyone will stay healthy. Despite the corona virus.

Professional care labels Basic now in rPET

Sustainability is an important topic and is becoming increasingly important. We also pay attention to sustainable production and packaging. Our labels are already packed and shipped in recyclable bio-film.

From now on we also produce our professional care labels Basic made of rPET. RPET is a recycled polyester which is mainly produced from PET bottles and can be used in the form of polyester yarns for clothing, among other things.

We print the basic care labels in black on white on soft polyester satin.

You can design them in our configurator with your own logo and texts. You select the care symbols suitable for your textiles in the legally prescribed order and enter the composition of the fibres.

This is how you fulfil the legal requirements with your care labels.

FloraPap metallic labels now with black engraving

2019-09-26
FloraPap metallic labels now with black engraving

They are richer in contrast and have a black back. From now on you can get your FloraPap metallic labels in a revised look.

Logo and inscription more legible

Subtle is beautiful, but not for every purpose. Especially on reflective materials a high-contrast engraving is much easier to see.

Black back especially noble

Laser engraving produces slight traces of powder on the material, which not everyone likes. They are no longer visible on the black back.
Especially hangtags benefit from this.
