AWA Alexander Watson Associates have published The Linerless Label Market 2014, which is a third edition of their in-depth international market study of one of the emerging features of the pressure-sensitive label market in recent years.
Linerless labeling was a concept that originated in the 1980’s and has now established a focused technology chain enabling it to take a small but definable share of the mainstream labeling market, both in primary product labeling and in variable information print.
The Linerless Label Market 2014 delivers an updated, independent, wide-ranging assessment of the various applications for pressure-sensitive labels today, which do not involve the use of a release liner.
Cost savings, productivity improvement and a ‘leaner’, more sustainable labeling process are major technology drivers for linerless labels.
Primary product label applications typically include priceweigh tray prepacks – with additional thermal price/barcode print – commonly found with fish, poultry and meat. The applications also include other options located in foods, petrochemicals, and the home and personal care markets.
The report details material, technology and machinery developments to provide a focused insight into the current technology platform. It also includes the issues and challenges for label converters and end users in the context of the pressure-sensitive label market as a whole.
The Linerless Label Market 2014 concludes with a review of extant and emerging linerless technologies and a directory of solutions providers, which provides a readily-accessible market assessment for manufacturers, raw material suppliers, converters, and label users.
