Linerless Labels

What are linerless labels?

Linerless labels are a type of self-adhesive label that eliminates the need for a release liner or backing paper, unlike traditional labels.

Instead, they feature a special coating on the adhesive side that prevents the labels from sticking together during storage or application.

Efficient & environmentally friendly

As linerless labels have no liners (surprise surprise), they produce significantly less waste that needs to go to landfill, helping your business maintain a smaller carbon footprint.

Not only this but Increased roll capacity leads to fewer roll changes and less downtime in production or application lines.

Highly flexible

Linerless labels are typically used for short-life, shipping labels, generally printed via desktop direct thermal printers. However, they can be used for a variety of applications and dramatically cut down on material cost over time.

In retail, they’re used for pricing and product info; in food and beverage, they’re used for labelling produce and bakery items; in logistics, they’re used for address and barcode labels.

They’re perfect for basic, high volume labels, but come up a little short if you need premium designs on your product labels.
