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.
Last month at the TLMI Technical Conference, one of the seminars was entitled "Thin is in." Testing of thinner p-s face material, as well as thinner release liners are now major topics of discussion between brand owners and label printers. What was five years ago a standard clear-on-clear pressure-sensitive construction 2-mil BOPP over a 1.2-mil PET release liner, has been modified to a 1.6-mil BOPP over a 0.92-mil PET and even down to a 0.75-mil (18 micron) PET release liner. Thin is in and this is a good way to reduce your packaging costs.
