As a label distributor, your customers rely on you for label solutions that perform. But what about those customers who value a more environmentally friendly approach to their product labeling or packaging?
With General Data’s linerless labels, you can deliver high-quality labels, all while helping your customers reduce waste, increase efficiency and support their sustainability goals. Best of all? Linerless labels can make a big difference when it comes to your business’s bottom line.
But first, what exactly is a linerless label?
Linerless labels are exactly what they claim to be: pressure-sensitive labels that do not contain a liner.
Created with a special release coating that’s applied to the label face, these labels can be wound on a roll without the adhesive sticking to the label below it. Each label is separated by a perforation, allowing for easy application after printing.
In addition to keeping labels from sticking to one another, the release coating also provides a barrier that’s resistant to UV, chemicals and moisture.
Now, let’s peel back the layers on how linerless labels can be a win for you and your customers.
7 Smart Ways Linerless Labels Help You Save
Linerless labels can save you and your customers in more ways than one:
Save Money.
General Data’s linerless label rolls boast an increase of up to 60% more labels per roll. This means your customers will use fewer materials, spend less on waste disposal and reduce shipping costs. All of this adds up to significant cost savings — and repeat customers.
Save Time.
With more labels per roll and no liner to remove or discard, your customers will spend less time changing out rolls, making their daily operations more efficient.
Plus, linerless labels remove the need to dispose of liners, allowing for quick application without the backing paper.Save the Environment.
Linerless labels reduce solid waste output, keep more silicone from ending up in landfills and reduce the carbon footprint required to produce the labels. All this can help your customers reach their zero-waste sustainability initiatives.
Save Employees from Potential Injuries.
Less liner waste littering the floor of a warehouse means there is a smaller chance that employees will slip, fall and injure themselves on the job. Not only can this save your customers on potential workers’ compensation costs, but it also grants them peace of mind knowing that their employees enjoy a safer work environment.
Save on Storage Space.
Because each roll of linerless labels contains 60% more labels, more labels can fit into each carton, minimizing the need for storage space. As a label distributor, this means you can keep more linerless labels in stock and have them ready when your customers need them.
Save on Headaches.
Because the linerless labels’ release coating serves as a protective barrier against UV rays, moisture and chemicals, your customers can keep labels in storage longer and reduce the risk of ruined labels.
Save on the Bottom Line.
At the end of the day, linerless labels equate to money in your customers’ pockets. In addition to producing less waste, reducing workplace injuries and increasing warehouse productivity, these labels require no printing prep time, no additional equipment and no replenishment concerns.
Where Can Linerless Labels Be Useful?
When you add up all those savings, linerless labels offer a significant return on investment, especially for customers in industries with high-volume label applications, such as:
