Linerless Labels
The Future is Linerless
What is a Linerless Label?
Linerless labels are labels that do not have a liner or backing paper. Typically, liners have a release coating that allows the label to peel away easily without damaging the adhesive beneath, ensuring the label can adhere to an object, such as a box.
In contrast, linerless labels feature a silicone release coating on the top layer and a special adhesive that enables them to peel away from labels underneath. The silicone coating allows linerless labels to act essentially as their own liners.
Benefits of Linerless Labels:
Linerless labels offer numerous advantages to customers. They increase uptime, reduce the need for roll changes, and minimise storage with up to three-quarters more running meters per roll. Additionally, these labels maintain the same scanning and traceability properties as liner-backed labels while using fewer raw materials.
Lower waste disposal costs, labour and transportation savings, reduced storage requirements, and increased operational efficiency are just some of the advantages, resulting in lower total costs of ownership. Importantly, linerless labels are the perfect choice for businesses considering a switch to a sustainable, environmentally friendly solution, contributing to carbon footprint reduction and waste reduction.

Good to know!
Ensure that linerless labels are compatible with the printers you use. One crucial factor is to confirm that your linerless labels have undergone thorough testing with your printers in operation. If you are using TSC printers, we offer a linerless labels portfolio extensively tested in our printers to guarantee minimal adhesive build-up, optimal print quality, and smooth label throughput.
Our linerless printers feature a special platen roller with a non-stick surface to reduce instances of the label adhesive sticking to the roller. Since there is no liner to act as a buffer, the adhesive comes into direct contact with the platen roller as labels are printed. Linerless printers also include a special cutter to size the labels as they are produced, in contrast to a regular printer. Special parts are available as Linerless Kits.
