As businesses strive to improve productivity while reducing their environmental impact, innovations like linerless labelling are stepping into the spotlight. At Bar Code Data, we’re committed to providing our customers with cutting-edge solutions that enhance their operations. One of the most impactful developments in labelling is the rise of Zebra’s linerless label printing solutions, offering businesses a more efficient, eco-friendly way to manage labelling across various industries.
In this blog, we’ll explore how linerless labels can benefit your business and how Bar Code Data can help you implement this game-changing technology.
What Are Linerless Labels?
Traditional labels come with a backing liner that separates each label and contains an adhesive release coating. Linerless labels, however, eliminate this liner, allowing each label to peel directly from the roll, similar to how tape works. This simple but effective design innovation delivers numerous advantages across industries like retail, healthcare, manufacturing and logistics.
How Can a Linerless Label Solution Benefit Your Business?
1. Boost Efficiency and Productivity
Linerless labels help streamline labelling processes by offering continuous media printing without the need for recalibration between label sizes. Because linerless labels allow you to print variable label lengths from the same roll, your operations will experience fewer interruptions, leading to higher uptime and greater productivity. This is a huge win for businesses that need to keep their operations moving at full speed.
2. Reduce Environmental Impact
With sustainability top of mind for many businesses, linerless labels are an excellent solution for reducing waste. By eliminating the liner, you significantly decrease waste materials, making your operations more environmentally friendly. Additionally, linerless rolls contain up to 50% more labels, reducing the frequency of roll changes and cutting down on excess packaging waste.
Plus, linerless label rolls are more lightweight—up to 40% lighter than their linered counterparts. This helps reduce transportation costs and CO2 emissions, supporting your company’s green initiatives.
3. Cut Costs and Save Space
Linerless labels are a cost-effective solution, allowing businesses to maximise the number of labels per roll and reduce the cost per label. Since these rolls contain more labels, they require fewer roll changes, which means less time spent managing inventory and fewer resources needed for storage. For businesses with limited storage space, this can be a game-changer.
4. Improve Workplace Safety
Traditional labels often lead to piles of discarded liners around printing stations, creating slip hazards for employees. By switching to linerless labels, you eliminate this safety concern, contributing to a cleaner, safer, and more organised workplace.
5. Versatile Applications Across Industries
Whether your business is in retail, healthcare, manufacturing, or logistics, linerless labels offer a versatile solution. They’re perfect for use in everything from order picking and packing in warehouses to price marking in retail environments, and even pharmacy bag labelling in healthcare settings. Their flexibility and ease of use make them ideal for a wide range of applications.
