What are linerless labels?

Unlike traiditional standard labels, linerless labels or liner-free labels are labels without a liner or backing paper. Liners typically have a release coating that enables the label to be easily peeled away without destroying the adhesive underneath the label so that the label can still adhere to the surface of an object such as cartoons or envelopes. On the other hand, the characteristic of linerless labels is that there is a silicone release coating on the top layer of the label that enables them to peel away from labels underneath. The silicone-coating allows linerless labels to act as their own liners.

What are the benefits of linerless labels?

The use of linerless labels can bring many benefits, including improved efficiency, reduced costs, and promotion of sustainable development.

1. Improve productivity and efficiency: When using linerless labels, the paper roll length can be increased by more than 40%, which not only reduces the number of label paper roll replacements but also improves efficiency. Reducing the frequency and downtime of replacing paper rolls means saving manpower and costs.

2. Cost reduction: linerless labels do not require liner or backing paper and require less materials for production. Compared to traditional labels, linerless labels can reduce waste generation by 50% and have lower waste disposal costs. In addition, each roll of linerless labels can print more labels and generally have a smaller volume, which helps enterprises reduce transportation costs and save storage space.

3. Promote sustainable development: The thickness of linerless labels is only half that of traditional labels, which not only reduces carbon footprint but also protects the environment and promotes sustainable development. Enterprises can fulfill their commitment to reducing environmental waste through linerless labels.
