Linerless label applied to ready-meal packaging

Linerless labels

A liner-free thermal roll material that reduces waste, increases useful roll capacity, and supports variable label length.

Linerless is a self-adhesive label without a release liner: a single-layer thermal roll material with adhesive on one side and a silicone release coating on the other. The roll is used more efficiently, and no liner remains after labeling.

What is Linerless?

A traditional self-adhesive label uses a paper, polyester, or polypropylene liner to protect the adhesive. Linerless labels are self-adhesive labels without a liner. They are manufactured by coating the surface with a special material that ensures the labels separate from each other.

This format is useful for high-throughput labeling: weighing equipment, ready meals, retail, logistics, and variable information.

Key Competitive Advantages

Facts & Figure

Label Count Comparison: Standard Roll vs. Linerless Roll

Up to 50% more labels per roll

Without the liner, the same roll diameter can hold more usable label material. Operators change rolls less often and the line spends less time stopped.

No liner waste

After printing and application, there is no silicone paper to collect, store, transport, or dispose of.

Impact on Printer Thermal Printhead: Conventional Labels vs. Linerless Labels

Printhead protection

Thermal material with an additional silicone coating helps reduce friction and abrasive contact with the thermal printhead.

Dynamic Sizing

Linerless label length adapts to the amount of text, barcode, composition, date, price, and other variable data.

  • One roll format supports multiple label lengths.
  • Material is cut exactly for the current label.
  • Unused label area is reduced.
  • Total labeling costs can be reduced by up to 50%.
Rolls with different label sizes — and one roll that can replace them all.
