Boost your business with cost-effective and versatile labelling solutions
With the rise in multichannel ordering in recent years accompanied by growing demand for customer collection, third party delivery and legislation around accurate ingredients and allergy identification, the requirement for efficient food and beverage labelling has surged. Without a doubt, amongst the range of labelling solutions currently available, linerless labels stand out for their eco-friendly properties and operational efficiencies.
In contrast to traditional labels with a backing paper, direct thermal linerless labels are self-adhesive labels which can be applied directly to products or packaging. Such labels are supplied with varying levels of adhesion, from high adhesive permanent labels to low adhesive repositionable labels which can be applied to virtually any surface and be removed easily and reapplied without residue.
Benefits of linerless media
For all linerless media, key benefits include the reduction in waste along with cost savings when compared with standard labels. Linerless media offers significant paper saving with more labels per roll than standard label rolls and, with fewer roll changes, cost savings can be achieved alongside enhanced operational efficiency and sustainability.
In terms of label size, linerless media is available in a range of widths, enabling businesses to create labels for any product type including larger labels for food deliveries to smaller, more compact beverage labels. Equally, variable length linerless labels enable the printing of shorter orders or labels with less information on minimal paper, further promoting efficiency.
Star mC-Label3 and TSP143IVSK
As demand grows for labelling products across a variety of sectors, international POS hardware solutions provider Star Micronics has introduced its multifunctional mC-Label3 and TSP143IVSK printers, designed to print permanent and repositionable labels for food orders, delivery and takeaway labels as well as receipts. Star’s extensive printer range also includes individual receipt and order printers, if required.
The ability to print different sized and types of labels and receipts from one easy-to-use device including variable length food and allergy labels, drinks labels, nutrition information as well as food delivery labels and bag seals from web-based apps or local services is a cost-effective and versatile option.
The Star mC-Label3 printer offers the optimal solution thanks to its ability to print on traditional pre-sized labels which peel from a backing paper as well as liner-free media including low adhesive re-stick labels alongside high adhesive permanent and semi-permanent labels. For businesses with existing label stock or who are planning to make the switch to linerless labelling in the future, this is an ideal product.
Incredibly user friendly and with paper position, paper width detection and simple drop-in loading, different media can be loaded with ease and given its jam free operation reliable printing is ensured. Star’s Cloud-based free labelling app offers a wide range of pre-designed label templates, whilst the one touch label function allows for storing and printing of up to three label designs.
Alternatively, for businesses seeking a compact linerless-only label, order and receipt printing solution the TSP143IVSK boasts versatility and ergonomic design, printing on standard 40mm, 58mm and 80mm low tack linerless re-stick media. Moreover, the TSP143IVSK benefits from the power cable, interface cables and paper guide included at purchase as well as a 4-year warranty as standard.
Range of connectivity options
David Pearce, Technical Director, Star Micronics EMEA, comments: “In line with today’s multichannel ordering expectations, the mC-Label3 and TSP143IVSK benefit from multiple interfaces for local PC, network, tablet and Cloud connectivity. Furthermore, both printers include Ethernet LAN and USB-C connectivity as well as direct sync and charge with supported tablets, together with hub connectivity to connect a scanner or customer display.
