Unlike standard labels, Linerless labels or liner-free labels are labels that do not have a liner or backing paper. Linerless labels feature a silicone release coating on the top layer of the labels and special adhesive that enables them to peel away from labels underneath. The silicone-coating allows Linerless labels to essentially act as their own liners.
Introduction to Linerless Labels
What is Linerless Labels?Linerless Labels is an innovative label product that removes the traditional adhesive label backing paper (also known as release paper). It is directly coated on a continuous roll of label material with a special anti sticking coating on the front, allowing the label to be firmly rolled together and smoothly unfolded during use. This "unlined" design has become an important trend for the label industry to develop towards a more environmentally friendly and efficient direction.
Why choose Linerless Labels?Compared to traditional labels, its advantages are mainly reflected in the following four aspects:
- More environmentally friendly:
completely eliminating the waste of base paper. Producing the same number of labels can save about 30% of raw materials and effectively help companies reduce their carbon footprint.
Due to the lack of backing paper, paper rolls of the same size can accommodate up to 40% -50% of labels. This means less storage space, lower transportation costs, and reduced printer downtime due to reduced roll changing frequency, resulting in a significant decrease in overall costs.
The labeling process is simplified, eliminating the need to dispose of waste base paper, and the operation speed is faster. When printing, labels of any length can be freely cut as needed, with one label per item, avoiding material waste.
It has been widely used in multiple industries such as food and beverage, logistics and express delivery, retail, and food delivery. Especially in scenarios where frequent label replacement or printing of labels of different sizes is required, the advantages are particularly evident.
What are the applications of Linerless Labels in?Our Linerless Labels material, with its excellent performance, has been widely used in many fields:
- Logistics and express delivery:
Electronic waybills and waybills are currently one of the most mature applications, perfectly reflecting their efficiency and economy.
Weighing labels, price labels, and promotion labels for fresh food are easy to operate, clean, and hygienic.
Kitchen orders, takeaway packaging labels, waterproof and oil resistant, fast printing, improve meal efficiency.
prescription labels, sample identification, medical waste tracking, require accuracy and reliability, and no backing paper labels are fully competent.
- Industry and Manufacturing:
Asset management labels, warehouse picking labels, warning signs, durable and efficient.
What should be noted when using Linerless Labels?Although the advantages are significant, the use of Linerless Labels also requires consideration of some prerequisites:
- Special equipment is required:
Ordinary label printers cannot directly use Linerless Labels because the adhesive will stick to the printer's rollers. It is necessary to use a specially designed bottomless paper dedicated printer, whose rollers have anti sticking coatings and special cutters to ensure smooth printing.
- Maintenance needs to be more careful:
The cutting blade and paper path of the printer are prone to accumulating glue, and regular cleaning and maintenance are required to ensure equipment performance and label printing quality. Meanwhile, due to the need to penetrate the surface silicon oil layer, a slightly higher printing concentration is usually required.
