Sustainable labelling: how linerless labels are reducing waste and boosting efficiency

Posted on Tuesday 18 February 2025

Reduce waste by 40% with linerless labels – Every year, millions of square metres of label liner waste end up in UK landfills, contributing to unnecessary environmental harm.

WHEN ORGANISATIONS consider sustainability, they often focus on large-scale changes—switching to renewable energy, overhauling supply chains, etc. While these initiatives are crucial, one often-overlooked opportunity lies in labelling.

Traditional labels generate significant waste through their backing liners, which are typically discarded after application. By switching to linerless labels, businesses can eliminate this waste entirely, reducing landfill contributions and supporting a more circular economy. One small change with a big impact.

Why linerless labels?

Linerless labels are exactly what they sound like, labels without the wasteful backing liner. This simple yet powerful innovation offers:

  • Increased Efficiency: More labels per roll mean fewer roll changes and less downtime.
  • Reduced Waste: No liner means no landfill-bound waste, supporting sustainability initiatives.
  • Lower Costs: More labels per roll and fewer material requirements translate to real savings.
  • Enhanced Safety: No slippery liner waste reduces workplace hazards.

From warehouses and logistics hubs to retail services, linerless labels are helping businesses streamline operations. Companies using them have reported faster processing times, improved print quality, and a significant reduction in waste-related costs.

If you’re looking to optimise your labeling processes while enhancing sustainability efforts, linerless labels are a game-changer. Ready to take the next step.
