FAQ
ask us
anything
Can I use linerless labels in my standard thermal printer?
No, linerless labels require a printer specifically designed with a non-stick platen roller and a cutter to prevent adhesive buildup.
How does this save me money if the rolls are more expensive?
While the roll price may differ, you save significantly on waste disposal fees, storage space, freight costs, and labor time due to fewer roll changes.
Will linerless labels damage or gum up my printer’s print head?
Not if you use the correct equipment. Linerless labels must be used with “Linerless-ready” printers equipped with special non-stick (siliconized) rollers and high-grade cutters. PaperLith labels use advanced Nitrogen-free UV curing to ensure the adhesive is stable, which significantly reduces residue buildup compared to low-quality alternatives.
How do linerless labels contribute to my company’s ESG or carbon footprint goals?
Transitioning to linerless reduces your solid waste by 100% (no backing paper to landfill). Furthermore, because we can fit 60% more paper on a single roll, you reduce the carbon emissions associated with transportation and warehousing by approximately 30-40% per label.
Can linerless labels be produced in custom shapes, or only in rectangles?
Currently, most linerless applications are for continuous rolls cut to custom lengths by the printer’s internal cutter (rectangular). However, for high-volume OEM projects, we can offer die-cut linerless solutions with specific gap-sensing technology. Contact our technical team to discuss your specific design requirements.
What is the "Nitrogen-free Curing" technology mentioned in your specs?
Most manufacturers use oxygen-based curing which can leave microscopic uncured spots, leading to “adhesive bleeding.” PaperLith utilizes Nitrogen-free UV curing technology, which creates a 100% uniform silicone release top-coat. This results in smoother label peeling and a significantly longer lifespan for your printer’s cutter.
Is it true that linerless labels provide "variable length" printing?
Yes! This is one of their biggest cost-saving features. Unlike traditional die-cut labels with a fixed size, a linerless printer cuts the label exactly where the data ends. Whether you are printing a short receipt or a long shipping manifest, you use only the exact amount of paper needed, reducing paper costs by up to 15%.
