How Linerless Labels Improve Warehouse and Logistics Efficiency
How Linerless Labels Improve Warehouse and Logistics Efficiency
Warehouse and logistics operations are the backbone of efficient supply chain management, ensuring goods are delivered at the right place and time. In these industries, speed and precision are critical—and labeling plays a key role in tracking items, boxes, and pallets. Implementing linerless labels can revolutionize these processes, providing benefits such as enhanced operational efficiency, cost savings, and improved sustainability.
1. Enhancing Operational Efficiency
Traditional labels with backing liners require extra steps for peeling, even when using automated label dispensers. This process slows operations, costing valuable time in fast-paced logistics environments. Linerless labels eliminate the need for peeling, streamlining workflows and allowing workers to focus on core tasks.
Linerless labels also offer higher capacity per roll, with up to 40% more labels compared to traditional options of the same outer diameter. This means fewer roll replacements and reduced downtime, enabling uninterrupted operations and higher throughput. By minimizing roll changes, warehouse teams can achieve greater productivity with a steady label supply.
2. Reducing Operational Costs
Linerless labels significantly cut costs associated with transportation, storage, and waste management:
Transportation and Storage Savings: With more labels per roll, fewer rolls are needed for the same workload, reducing freight costs and storage space requirements. Businesses can allocate the same budget for labels and receive a higher quantity, or spend less for the same output.
Inventory Management Simplified: Managing fewer rolls reduces handling complexity, saving time and money in warehouse operations.
Eliminating Waste Processing Costs: Traditional labels generate liner waste that requires disposal, adding costs for waste management. Linerless labels eliminate this waste, leading to a cleaner, more cost-efficient operation.
3. Promoting Safety and Sustainability
Adopting linerless labels enhances workplace safety and aligns with sustainability goals:
Safety Benefits: Liner waste in warehouses can create slip-and-trip hazards for workers. Linerless labels remove this risk, contributing to a safer working environment and helping businesses comply with safety regulations.
Environmental Advantages: By reducing waste, linerless labeling supports sustainability initiatives. Lower waste volumes mean fewer carbon emissions from waste processing, helping businesses minimise their environmental footprint.

Why Choose Linerless Labels for Your Business?
While linerless labels may have some limitations—such as lower durability in direct sunlight—they excel in environments where labels are used for short-term purposes and where goods are not exposed to harsh conditions. In these cases, linerless labels offer a range of advantages:
- Minimised downtime
- Streamlined operations
- Reduced operational expenses
- Enhanced workplace safety
- Alignment with sustainability goals
