What is Linerless Printing?

Linerless printing uses labels that do not require a backing material (liner). Traditional labels have a liner that is removed and discarded after printing. Linerless labels, on the other hand, feature a special adhesive and surface construction that allows them to be printed and used directly from the roll.

Advantages of Linerless Label Printing:

  • No waste from backing material
  • More labels per roll, reducing roll changes
  • More efficient storage due to compact rolls

Challenges and Solutions

Like any recent technology, linerless label printing comes with some challenges.
Some typical issues include:

  • Adhesive residue: If maintenance is neglected, adhesive buildup can cause printer malfunctions.
  • Compatibility: Not all printers support linerless labels.
  • Costs: The initial investment in suitable printers may be higher but it pays off overall through cost savings.
