What are the disadvantages of the application of bottomless paper labels in the logistics industry

Although the application of bottomless paper labels in the logistics industry has brought many advantages, such as improving efficiency, reducing costs and environmental protection and energy saving, there are also some shortcomings. The following are the main disadvantages of the application of bottomless paper labels in the logistics industry:

First, high requirements for manufacturing equipment

The production process of paperless labels puts higher requirements on manufacturing equipment, especially the coating equipment of silicone oil and glue. Regular label makers may struggle to make effective use of silicone oils and adhesives and need to upgrade or invest in new technology to support the production of paperless labels. This equipment requirement not only increases the initial input cost, but also may modify the existing production line, affecting production efficiency and stability.

Second, the labeling system is complex

The labelling system of non-backing paper labels is usually more complex than that of traditional self-adhesive labels and requires special equipment and operation methods. This can increase initial input costs and learning costs for businesses, especially when changing labeling systems and requiring new training for employees to adapt to new labeling processes and equipment operations.

Limited shape and design flexibility

At present, the more mature bottomless paper labels on the market have more restrictions on the shape, generally rectangular. This to a certain extent limits the flexibility of the application of bottomless paper labels in the logistics industry. Traditional self-adhesive labels can be made into a variety of shapes to meet different needs, while bottomless paper labels may not provide the same variety of shape options due to technical limitations.

Four, tear line design challenges

Unbacked paper labels are easily removed by a preset tear line, but the width of the tear line design needs to be precisely controlled. If the tear line width design is too small, it may not be easy to tear off, resulting in the shutdown of the labeling line; If the tear line width design is too large, it will form an obvious burr edge after tearing, affecting the beauty of the product packaging. To a certain extent, this increases the difficulty and cost of the application of non-backing paper labels. (Source: baijiahao.baidu.com)

Five, print head wear problem

Although the silicone oil layer on the surface of the paperless label can reduce the friction between the print head and the surface material and reduce the wear of the print head, the wear of the print head is still a problem to be considered in the case of high-speed printing for a long time. This may require companies to regularly replace print heads or take other maintenance measures to ensure print quality and equipment stability. (Source: Personal Analysis)

In summary, although the application of bottomless paper labels in the logistics industry has significant advantages, there are also some shortcomings and challenges. When choosing a paperless label, enterprises need to comprehensively consider their own needs, equipment conditions, cost input and other factors to make a reasonable decision.
