What is a paperless label

Paperless label,as the name suggests,is a self-adhesive label without backing paper.This kind of label is significantly different from traditional self-adhesive labels in terms of structure and production process,mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Definition and structure

Definition:A non-backing label,also known as a non-backing label,refers to a non-backing label without a release material(that is,a backing paper).The traditional self-adhesive label is composed of two basic structures of the surface material and the base paper,while the non-base paper label removes the base paper part and directly applies a special isolation coating on the base material to achieve the anti-stick effect.

Structure:The paper label is mainly composed of surface material,glue layer and anti-stick coating.The surface material is used to carry the graphic information,the glue layer is used to paste,and the anti-stick coating ensures that the labels do not stick to each other during storage and transportation.

Production technology

The production process of paperless labels is relatively complex,mainly including the following steps:

Substrate preparation:Select the appropriate substrate as the carrier of the label.

Graphic printing:The graphic information required for printing on the substrate.

Coating glue:Apply a layer of glue to the side of the picture after printing,so that the label can be attached to the object.

Apply anti-stick silicone oil:Apply anti-stick silicone oil on the other side to prevent labels from sticking to each other during storage and transportation.

Winding and slitting:The coated label is wound and slitted to form the final product.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages:

Low carbon environmental protection:Due to the removal of the base paper part,the waste of resources and environmental pollution are reduced.

Cost reduction:Paper rolls with the same format and thickness can hold more than 50%more labels than ordinary paper rolls,reducing storage and transportation costs.

Improve work efficiency:there is no need to tear off the backing paper during the label pasting process,which improves work efficiency.

Cons:

High equipment requirements:The production of bottomless paper labels requires special equipment and process support.

Limited application range:Because the connection between the bottomless paper labels relies on the tear line to achieve,and the tear line width has a certain limit(usually above 0.3mm),its shape is relatively single(mainly rectangular),it is difficult to meet the needs of the market for a variety of shape labels.In addition,the tear line may leave burrs on the edge of the label after removal,affecting the beauty of the product packaging.

Application field

Paperless labels are widely used in the packaging and logistics industry,especially in situations where a large number of labels are required and there are high requirements for cost and environmental factors.For example,supermarket,takeout,express and other industries in the price tag,sealing stickers,single paper,etc.,often use the form of bottomless paper labels.

In summary,the bottomless paper label is an innovative self-adhesive label product,with the advantages of low carbon environmental protection,cost reduction and work efficiency improvement,but at the same time,there are also shortcomings such as high equipment requirements and limited application range.With the continuous progress of technology and the growing market demand,bottomless paper labels are expected to be promoted and applied in more fields.
