Sampling Innovations Europe launched a new sustainable solution called 'Scent Green®' label in partnership with Adhespack, featuring a 100% paper, fully recyclable fragrance sticker designed for magazines, postcards and leaflets. The company combined its Barcelona production capabilities with exclusive partners to distribute the patent-backed paper label across the European market.
The Scent Green® product removed plastic and aluminium from olfactive samples while remaining resealable and printable for brand customization, using Suzano Greenpack® paper in the label construction. Sampling Innovations Europe also highlighted its broader sampling range, including sachets, thermoformed doses, vials and Easy Dose formats with recycled-content options.
For brands, the paper scent label delivers a lower-waste sample option that fits growing eco-friendly marketing expectations and simplifies disposal for consumers. By offering a recyclable, resealable scent format, Sampling Innovations Europe aligned sample campaigns with sustainability trends without sacrificing fragrance performance.
