Linerless labels - An eco-friendly and efficient solution for label printing

Today, there is an increasing emphasis on sustainability and efficiency in industry and logisticse. One modern solution that combines ecology and practicality is linerless labels. This technology not only reduces waste but also optimises processes and costs.

What are linerless labels?

Linerless labels are labels without a traditional backing paper (liner). Instead, they are made from a continuous strip of material covered with a special coating that prevents the unused portion of the label from sticking to the printer. This eliminates the need to predefine label size - the label prints exactly as needed.

Advantages of linerless technology:

1.

• No waste: Conventional labels generate a lot of waste from the backing paper, which is not recyclable. With linerless labels, this problem is eliminated.
• Lower carbon footprint: Less material means saving raw materials, energy in production and lower shipping costs.

2. Efficiency and flexibility

• Variable label length: You can print labels exactly to size, saving material and time.
• More labels per roll: you can fit more labels per roll thanks to the absence of backing paper. This reduces the need for frequent roll changes.

3. Lower operating costs

• Less waste: By not having a liner, you save not only on materials but also on waste disposal.
• Lower storage requirements: fewer rolls means less space required for storage.

What are the requirements for printing linerless labels?

While linerless labels bring many benefits, there are many to keep in mind:

• Compatible printers: linerless technology requires printers that are adapted to work with this type of material. These printers have a special coating that prevents the adhesive from sticking to the print head.
• Initial investment: The cost of a compatible printer may be higher, but the long-term savings will offset this investment.

Recommended models include, for example, the TSC MB241 with the appropriate kit or other printers adapted to linerless technology.

Why choose linerless labels?

If you're looking for a way to optimize label printing, reduce operating costs and help protect the environment, linerless labels are a great choice. Not only will you minimize waste, but you'll also simplify processes and increase efficiency.
