If you value sustainability, easy handling, and a stylish look, cactus leather is the perfect material for your custom labels. This innovative vegan leather is made from prickly pear cactus leaves and optimized for laser engraving, ensuring that even fine lines and text appear sharp and detailed. Compared to synthetic leather, cactus leather is slightly thicker and more durable, making it ideal for labels with pre-cut holes designed for hand stitching.

Our Cactus Leather

Our cactus leather labels are abrasion-resistant and machine washable up to 40° C. This plant-based leather is made from cactus leaves grown in arid regions with minimal water requirements — no additional irrigation needed. The mature leaves of the prickly pear cactus are carefully harvested, cleaned, and naturally dried in the sun. The cactus plant remains intact during harvesting, allowing new leaves to grow repeatedly from the same plant. Other parts of the cactus are repurposed for food production, making this a highly sustainable material. A single cactus plant can be used for up to eight years in cactus leather production. Additionally, cacti act as natural carbon sinks, improving soil health in their native growing areas. The drying process is entirely solar-powered, requiring no extra energy.

The back of your cactus leather labels is a soft cream color, and the material has a thickness of approximately 1.1 mm.

Our cactus leather has been tested and certified according to OEKO-TEX^® standard 100 and DIN EN 71-3 by the Bremen Environmental Institute. It meets the requirements of Product Class I (safe for babies and young children) and is suitable for use in toy manufacturing. More details about our certifications can be found here.
