Linerless Labelling For Zero-Waste
DIGI Linerless Labellers are helping businesses worldwide to achieve their zero-waste goals through eliminating label liner waste.
Glassine label liner is the backing paper typically used in rolls of self-adhesive labels. Once labels are peeled from the glassine liner the liner is considered waste and has contributed tonnes to landfill every year. But that’s now changing with the relatively recent introduction of Linerless Labelling.
Just as it sounds Linerless Labelling is a more environmentally friendly labelling solution of Self-Adhesive Labels without backing paper. DIGI Linerless Labellers have been expertly engineered to maximise the benefits of linerless labels.
How Do Linerless Labellers Work?
Linerless labels are supplied in a continuous strip rather than being die-cut to a predetermined length. With the right labelling equipment, you can print labels of various formats and lengths from the same roll of labels. This significantly reduces how many label varieties you need to stock, reduces waste and saves costs.
Auto-Adjust Label Length
In some cases saving up to 30% label length, DIGI Linerless Labellers automatically adjust the label length used to suit the amount of information being printed. Saving money and reducing waste.
Eliminate unused wasted label space
Label formats can easily be changed to suit different products or packaging needs. For example you can print a simple label with weight, price and use-by date, or a more comprehensive label that includes imagery and an ingredients list without having to change the label roll.
The labeller intelligently and automatically adjusts the label length to suit the amount of information being printed. This eliminates unused wasted space, saving in some cases up to 30% label length, and you get more printed labels from every roll.
Up to 40% more labels per roll
Without backing paper, more label stock can be wound on a roll of a given diameter meaning there is more printable label length per roll. One roll of linerless labels can hold up to 40% more label printing space that an equivalent size roll of die-cut labels.
Benefits of having more labels per roll include;
- operators don't need to spend time changing label rolls so frequently
- more labels fit in each carton which significantly reduces storage space and transport costs
Unique built-in cutter for superior presentation
DIGI Linerless Labellers feature a unique built-in cutting mechanism.
Once the label has been printed, the labeller automatically cuts the label and presents it ready for application - either manually or automatically depending on what type of labeller you’re using.
The built-in cutter produces a cleanly cut label every time with a more attractive appearance than the tearing process used by many other machines.
