DB Group: the art of the label, the mastery of detail
Reinventing luxury: between demand, creation, and responsibility
Luxury is evolving. From now on, it can no longer be conceived without genuine consideration of environmental and societal issues. This transformation, driven by consumer expectations, new European regulations, and also by the growing demands of the brands themselves, is pushing the entire value chain to reinvent itself.
Today, more than 70% of consumers in the luxury sector favor brands that adopt sustainable and ethical practices. In this context, every detail matters. Every choice reflects an intention, and the label becomes a true key issue.
The custom label, serving exceptional brands
At DB Group, every label tells a story — yours.
For over 30 years, DB Group has been manufacturing custom labels for the demanding worlds of perfumery, cosmetics, wines & spirits, parapharmacy, and fine foods.
Each project benefits from technical support, where finishes, materials, printing, formats, adhesives, and quantities are precisely defined to reflect the brand’s identity.
Their mission: to create unique pieces that enhance your products, all within a responsible approach.

A restructured organization for a responsible transition
In 2025, the French company took a major step forward with the expansion of its production site by over 2,000 m² to support its growth.
Designed as a strategic lever for sustainable performance, it allows them to integrate more efficient processes, gain agility, and anticipate the specific needs of their clients, thereby strengthening their ability to innovate, produce more cleanly, and deliver with an ever-higher level of quality.
Thus, every stage of the manufacturing process is designed to reduce their carbon footprint — from the selection of materials to processing, including printing and finishing.
Materials that meet your highest standards
They prioritize renewable, recycled, or certified materials, carefully selected according to strict specifications — FSC certification, controlled energy impact, biodegradability, or compatibility with recycling channels.
Among these are:
- Cane Fiber (Avery): an uncoated paper made of 95% sugarcane fibers and 5% hemp and linen. It makes use of agricultural residues, prevents deforestation, and offers an elegant and responsible alternative to traditional paper.
- High-end recycled papers containing up to 30% post-consumer fibers.
- Bio-based substrates certified TUV, with adhesives containing up to 40% renewable content.
- Plastic alternatives such as PP Forest, made from wood residues, or PP Ocean, developed from ISCC-certified marine plastic waste by UPM Raflatac.
These responsible materials in no way diminish the durability, resistance, or visual quality of the labels. It is even difficult to distinguish a recycled substrate from a conventional one to the naked eye. The feel, finish, and appearance remain at the level of the highest standards in the luxury market.
A recognized approach for bespoke expertise
Their commitment is based on concrete, measurable, and recognized actions. Their quality standards are certified by ISO 9001, while their environmental impact is controlled through the Imprim’Vert label. Their active participation in the Décarbon’action initiative places them on a path of continuous emissions reduction, and their CSR performance has been rewarded with the Ecovadis Gold medal, ranking them among the most responsible companies in their sector.
Supporting brands toward sustainable responsibility
The label is more than just a detail — it is the first contact between the consumer and the brand. By focusing on noble and sustainable materials, we help our clients tell a responsible, genuine, and distinctive story.
What matters is not our labels, but what they make possible.
