Linerless labels or liner-free labels are labels that do not have a liner or backing paper. Liners normally have a release coating that enables the label to easily peel away without destroying the adhesive underneath the label so that the label can still adhere to an object like a box or envelope. On the other hand, 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.
Implementing linerless solutions to your business can provide many benefits from faster operations to decreasing costs. Here are some of the reasons to switch to linerless labels:
Reduce waste: Linerless labels have no liners, which reduces disposal costs and waste. This will decrease your business or warehouse footprint and can positively impact the environment. In addition, this can also support waste-reduction efforts and compliance with government environmental directives.
More labels per roll: The media rolls of linerless labels contain 50% more labels, which can help save on transportation costs and storage.
Improve productivity and manufacturing efficiency: Another potential benefit to using linerless labels is helping improve productivity and output. Lineless labels will require fewer media roll changes between print runs, which means less downtime; thus, helping increase your manufacturing efficiency and saving costs for your business.
Speedy processing: Linerless labels eliminate the need for additional steps of peeling the label from the liner and disposing the liners, allowing for faster processing.
Cost savings: Linerless printing decreases the weight in mobile printers and reduces label roll shipping costs, as linerless rolls weigh up to 40% less than traditional labels with a liner. Not only will you be able to save on shipping costs but also on storage costs. This is because linerless labels tend to contain more labels per roll, which means you do not need to buy and store as many rolls as you would have with standard labels. Also, since lineless labels lack liners, it eliminates the need to dispose liners. As a result, choosing linerless labels can also reduce your disposal costs.
Reduce safety hazards: Linerless rolls will also reduce workplace slip hazards from liner piles that accumulate beneath printers.
Flexibility in size: Linerless labels enable flexibility for printing varying label lengths.
Flexibility in applications: Linerless can be used for a wide variety of applications. Linerless labels can be used in different industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceutical labeling, retail, parcel delivery, and more. You may have encountered linerless labels in packages as many businesses use them for shipping and mailing. Many warehouse workers and retailers also use mobile printers with linerless labels to easy label objects and change them. At the grocery store, you may have seen linerless labels being used in the deli or butcher section where linerless labels are used to accommodate lower temperatures.
