Linerless Labels: An Evolving Technology
As the pressure-sensitive label industry turns its attention to growing concerns about its high inherent waste, linerless label technology is getting increased consideration.
Although many people think that linerless technology is a new trend, in reality it has been around for 35 years. In 1980, the first linerless labeller called the Monoweb was developed by Turpin Engineering in the UK. In 1990, Ravenwood introduced sleeve labels for the fresh meat pack container. Early in the 2000s, Catchpoint and ETI Converting helped pave the way for linerless technology with development of inline printing and coating technologies. Today other players are offering products and services because linerless is here to stay.
