Print & Apply Labeler Uses Linerless Labels

General Arca Automation Bi-Fuel Print and Apply Labeler

Arca Automation, headquartered in Cherry Hill, NJ, has released its new Bi-Fuel Print and Apply Labeler unit that uses linerless self-adhesive labeling technology that creates self-adhesive, square or rectangular labels that do not require a release liner.

In essence, Linerless labels are drawn from a self-adhesive continuous band wound over itself, exactly like an adhesive tape, and cut to a desired length at the moment of application.

The self-adhesive Linerless labels are ideal for all logistical uses, whether they are applied on boxes, bundles or pallets, presenting multiple advantages compared to traditional self-adhesive labels, and offer:

  • Increased production efficiency: a roll of Linerless material contains, for an equal diameter, at least double the number of labels compared to a traditional roll of self-adhesive material. Labeling operators spend thus dedicate less time to changing rolls and overall system downtime is cut at least in half;
  • Reduced indirect costs: less clearance is required, thanks to the contained thickness, which translates into lower costs for packaging, shipping and storage; above all, costs for disposing of silicone liners are totally eliminated;
  • Immediate savings: the absence of liners and waste for each label means that Linerless labels cost less than traditional self-adhesive labels;
  • Eco-friendly: Every year, millions of square meters of silicone liner paper are disposed of in dumping grounds and incinerators. Linerless labels do not produce any waste products.

Arca Automation will be exhibiting its Bi-Fuel Linerless Print and Apply System at Pack Expo 2009, visit them at booth S-5034 and visit the Web-site at www.arcaautomation.com.
