Broken source wording is repaired grammatically; the source’s unfinished final sentence is marked.] Linerless labels are an innovative type of label that needs no backing film, also known as a liner. Compared with conventional self-adhesive labels, they offer many advantages that make them increasingly popular in various industries. This article examines those advantages and why linerless labels might be a good option for your business. Environmental benefits The source describes environmental friendliness as a major benefit of linerless labels. Without a backing film, less paper and plastic waste is generated. It estimates waste reductions of up to 50%. It also says their manufacture requires less energy and material than conventional self-adhesive labels, resulting in a lower CO2 footprint. It presents them as a possible choice for businesses that value sustainability. Space savings Without a backing film, more labels can fit on a roll than with conventional labels. The source says this can allow smaller rolls that take up less space, particularly useful where storage space is limited or large quantities of labels must be kept in stock. Cost efficiency Because no paper or plastic is used for backing films in linerless-label production, the source describes these labels as generally cheaper than conventional self-adhesive labels. More labels per roll may also save costs. It also says replacement costs can fall because rolls containing more labels need changing less often. Flexibility The source describes linerless labels as versatile and suitable for many applications. It says they are available in different sizes, colours and shapes for the food industry, retail, logistics and other sectors. It also mentions special applications such as temperature or humidity measurements. Longer operating time More labels per roll and longer intervals between replacements can increase printer uptime, according to the source. It also says that removing the backing film reduces waste that could damage the printer. It reports that some companies reduced printer maintenance costs by up to 30% [the source sentence ends here unfinished].
