Question 1

What are linerless labels and how do they work?

Accepted Answer

Linerless labels are self-adhesive labels without backing paper (liner). Thanks to a special silicone release coating on the top layer, they remain separated on the roll and don't stick together. They are printed using direct thermal and can be cut to any desired length - completely without waste. The result: Up to 62% more labels per roll, 100% less waste, and up to 25% cost savings. Ideal for shipping, logistics, and food labeling.

Question 2

Do I need a special printer for linerless labels?

Accepted Answer

Yes, linerless labels require special printers with a non-stick platen roller and cutter (e.g., Zebra ZD420-Linerless, Bixolon SLP-DL410). Standard label printers are NOT compatible because they lack the non-stick roller and labels would stick together. Many modern printers are already linerless-capable - check the printer specifications or contact the manufacturer. The switch pays off: Fewer roll changes, higher efficiency, significantly less waste.

Question 3

How sustainable are linerless labels really?

Accepted Answer

Linerless labels are significantly more sustainable than traditional labels: 100% less waste (no backing paper), up to 40% space savings in storage and transport, CarbonNeutral®-certified and recyclable according to PTS standard. Example: With 230,000 labels per year, you save several hundred kilograms of liner and significantly reduce CO2 emissions. For environmentally conscious companies, a real alternative - no greenwashing, but measurable savings.
