Summary:
Linerless label technology is transforming industrial packaging lines across Australia. By removing the need for backing liners, this innovation reduces waste, boosts efficiency, and helps manufacturers meet national sustainability targets.
What’s New
Australian packaging companies are rapidly adopting linerless label systems—a technology that prints directly onto adhesive-coated labels without a liner.
Key developments include:
- Henkel and Ravenwood collaborations advancing recyclable adhesives for linerless labels.
- Automated application systems cutting downtime and material waste in production.
- Increased adoption by food, logistics, and industrial sectors aiming for zero-waste packaging.
This shift reflects a wider industry move toward sustainable packaging innovations that reduce single-use materials and streamline operations.
Why It Matters
Linerless labels offer multiple benefits across industrial packaging lines:
- Eliminates liner waste: Traditional label liners are difficult to recycle and add to landfill waste.
- Improves efficiency: Continuous label rolls increase productivity and reduce changeover time.
- Enhances sustainability: Supports 2025 packaging recyclability targets and circular economy initiatives.
- Cost-effective: Reduces material use and disposal costs over time.
As industrial operations face growing regulatory and consumer pressure for eco-friendly solutions, linerless label technology offers both sustainability and performance advantages.
