Differentiate yourself from the competition – offer an alternative solution that is more effective and efficient by bundling labels and ribbons together!
Direct thermal linerless labels reduce waste and have many cost saving benefits.
What are linerless labels, and why are businesses switching to them?
Linerless labels have no paper backing to peel off and discard, so they cut waste, save storage space, and fit more labels per roll — helping businesses lower material costs and speed up high-volume printing runs.
How Linerless Labels Work
Unlike conventional pressure-sensitive labels that use a removable backing, linerless labels are supplied without a traditional release liner. Eliminating this backing material reduces liner waste during labeling operations.
Technicode Inc. supplies direct thermal linerless labels, which create the printed image using heat rather than a thermal transfer ribbon. This gives businesses a liner-free, ribbon-free option for compatible direct thermal printing applications.
Benefits of Liner-Free Labels
Businesses may consider liner-free labels when looking for an alternative to conventional labels with disposable backing material. Removing the release liner can reduce waste generated during use while simplifying the materials used in the labeling process.
Because thermal linerless labels use direct thermal printing, they also eliminate the need for a thermal transfer ribbon. Whether a linerless solution is suitable depends on the application's printing equipment and requirements.
Linerless Labels vs. Conventional Linered Labels
The key difference between linerless labels and conventional pressure-sensitive labels is the release liner. Traditional labels are carried on backing material that is removed during application, while linerless products eliminate this separate liner.For businesses evaluating the two formats, considerations can include:
- Printing technology
- Equipment compatibility
- Labeling requirements
- Waste generated during use
- Operational requirements
Direct thermal linerless labels can be a practical option when the application and printing equipment suit linerless direct thermal media.
Choosing a Linerless Label Solution
Not every labeling operation has the same requirements. Before switching to thermal linerless labels, businesses should consider how the labels will be printed and used within their existing operation.
Technicode Inc. can help businesses evaluate their requirements and determine whether a linerless solution fits the intended application. This is particularly important when moving from conventional labels to liner-free labels, as the printing and application requirements may differ.

FAQs
What are linerless labels?
Linerless labels are labels supplied without the traditional release liner or backing found on conventional pressure-sensitive labels. Removing the liner reduces the amount of backing material discarded during labeling.
Do direct thermal linerless labels require ribbons?
No. Direct thermal linerless labels use heat to create the printed image and therefore do not require a thermal transfer ribbon. The printer and application must be suitable for the linerless media being used.
Where can businesses source linerless labels in the USA?
Technicode Inc. supplies linerless labels to businesses throughout the United States. Companies considering liner-free labels can contact Technicode Inc. to discuss their application and determine an appropriate linerless labeling solution.
