What is the difference between a non-backing paper label and a traditional paper label

There are significant differences between bottomless paper labels and traditional paper labels, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Structural differences

No backing label: As the name suggests, this label has no backing paper and is mainly composed of a surface material, a glue layer and an anti-stick coating. In the production process, the text is printed directly on the substrate, and the glue layer and anti-stick coating are coated to achieve the effect of paste and anti-stick.

Traditional paper labels: usually have a basic structure of two layers of surface material and bottom paper. The surface material is used to carry the graphic information, while the backing paper plays a role in protecting the surface material and facilitating waste discharge. When in use, the surface material needs to be stripped from the backing paper and pasted onto the paste.

2. Environmental protection

No backing label: Due to the removal of the backing paper part, it reduces resource waste and environmental pollution. This label is more in line with the concept of green printing and sustainable development.

Traditional paper labels: The backing paper is usually discarded after use and becomes part of solid waste, causing a certain burden on the environment.

3. Cost and efficiency

Paperless label: Because the same format, the same thickness of the paper roll can hold more than 50% more labels than the ordinary paper roll, it can reduce storage and transportation costs. At the same time, there is no need to tear the backing paper during the label pasting process, which improves the work efficiency.

Traditional paper labels: The presence of backing paper increases the cost of raw materials and requires additional steps to tear off the backing paper during the label attaching process, reducing work efficiency.

4. Application scope and limitation

Since the connection between the 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. However, with the advancement and innovation of technology, the application range of bottomless paper labels is gradually expanding.

Traditional paper labels: a variety of shapes can meet the needs of the market for a variety of shape labels. At the same time, due to the existence of the backing paper, the label is more stable and reliable during storage and transportation.

5. Equipment and process requirements

Paperless labels: The production of these labels requires special equipment and process support, such as equipment for applying glue layers and anti-stick coatings, and processes for precisely controlling the width of the tear line.

Traditional paper label: The production equipment and process are relatively mature and simple, suitable for large-scale industrial production.

In summary, there are significant differences between bottomless paper labels and traditional paper labels in terms of structure, environmental protection, cost and efficiency, application scope and limitations, and equipment and process requirements. As an innovative self-adhesive label product, the paperless label has the advantages of low carbon environmental protection, cost reduction and work efficiency improvement, but it also has the disadvantages of limited application range and high equipment requirements. With the progress of technology and the growth of market demand, bottomless paper labels are expected to be promoted and applied in more fields.
