What are linerless labels?

What are linerless labels? Here’s a quick guide: Labels are an essential part of everyday life. They are used to identify and track items, both for commercial and personal use. There are a variety of different types of labels available, each with its own unique benefits and drawbacks.

One type of label that has gained in popularity in recent years is linerless labels. As the name suggests, linerless labels do not have a liner (or backing) that needs to be removed prior to application. This makes them easier and faster to use, which can be especially helpful when you need to apply a large number of labels quickly.

The linerless label material is made of either a Permanent pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) or a removable adhesive. The linerless labels can be printed on using direct thermal printers. These labels are also designed to be more environmentally friendly as they don’t need the liner to be removed before application and disposed of. This helps to reduce waste and save resources.

Linerless labels offer a number of benefits over traditional labels including cost savings, easy handling and storage, longer shelf life, improved durability and print quality, and better accuracy in colour matching. They are perfect for applications such as box labelling and general ecommerce and logistics etc., where speed of application is key. In addition, linerless labels have greater resistance to wear and fading than standard direct thermal labelling.

Overall linerless labels are an efficient and cost-effective labelling solution that is gaining popularity in the market. With their many benefits, linerless labels can help you save time, money, and resources.
