What are linerless labels?

With the deepening of sustainable development, people are paying more and more attention to the concept of environmental protection. As labels are an integral part of daily life and business operations, their environmental protection has become particularly important. As an innovative label solution, linerless labels are gradually favored by the market and become an important driving force in the field of environmental protection.

Unlike common standard labels, linerless labels are labels without a backing. It eliminates the release paper required for traditional labels. It has a pressure-sensitive adhesive on the back and can be directly attached to objects such as boxes or shelves. At the same time, linerless label have a silicone anti-stick coating on the top layer of the label. The main function of this coating is to prevent the labels from sticking to each other in the roll and ensure that the labels can be separated smoothly during printing and application. The silicone coating not only provides a smooth surface, reduces friction, and ensures that the label runs smoothly in automated equipment, but also improves the label's durability and waterproof performance, enhancing the label's adaptability in different environments.

As a green and efficient solution, linerless pressure sensitive labels are gradually receiving attention from the global market. Next, we will gradually explore the advantages of linerless self adhesive labels.

1. Reduce waste: Thermal linerless labels eliminate the release paper required for traditional labels, significantly reducing waste generation, reducing waste disposal costs and environmental burdens.

2. Resource conservation: Less materials are required to produce quality linerless labels, which reduces the consumption of natural resources, supports the sustainable use of resources, and follows the principle of sustainable development.

3. Reduce carbon footprint: Due to the reduction of transportation and storage space, the energy required in the logistics process is also reduced, thereby reducing carbon emissions.

4. Reduce enterprise costs and increase the number of labels: Compared with traditional standard labels, linerless label rolls reduce the steps and thickness of the liner, making the standard linerless labels more compact, which not only reduces transportation and storage space If needed, more tags can be accommodated.

5. Simplify the operating process and improve production efficiency: Automated equipment makes it easier to linerless labels production reducing operating steps and manual intervention, and improving the efficiency and continuity of the production line.

6. Good adhesion: High-quality adhesive ensures that labels can be firmly adhered to various surfaces and print silky smooth.

7. Size flexibility: Compared with traditional printed labels,linerless thermal labels can flexibly print labels of different lengths.

8. Application flexibility: Linerless labels are widely used. In addition to being linerless, they also have three-proof functions (waterproof, oilproof, and scratchproof) and can be used in different industries, including retail, logistics, food, manufacturing, etc. industry.

9. Enhance corporate image: By usinglinerless scale labels， companies can demonstrate their commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development, and enhance their brand image and social responsibility.

Linerless labeling require a compatible printer because traditional desktop or portable printers have special platen rollers and no anti-stick design, so the paper feed and paper output mechanisms are relatively simple. linerless label printing the use of thermal printing technology or transfer printing technology, and then through special anti-adhesive design and optimized settings to ensure smooth label transfer and high-quality printing. The printing steps are as follows:

1. Choose a suitable linerless label printer: Make sure it is compatible with linerless paper;

2. Set up the printer: Adjust the printer settings according to the label specifications, including label size, printing density and speed, etc.

3. Load the label roll: Install the linerless label roll correctly in the printer, making sure the label direction and position are correct;

4. Determine the label printing content: connect to the corresponding software, add the required content, and then test

5. Start printing: After confirming that the settings are correct, send the print task and check the printing effect.

The linerless labels market size is showing a rapid development trend. In the future, with the enhancement of environmental awareness and technological advancement, it is expected that the average annual growth rate of the linerless labels market share will remain at double digits in the next few years, and the market size will be in Billions of dollars by 2025. North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region will become the main growth regions, especially the rapid industrialization and implementation of environmental protection policies in the Asia-Pacific region will drive the rapid expansion of the market. When enterprises choose label solutions, they will increasingly considerlinerless thermal transfer labels to meet the dual requirements of environmental protection and economic benefits.
