Innovative Labelling Solutions for Hospitality
- STAR MICRONICS -
With the rise in multi-channel ordering in the hospitality industry in recent years accompanied by increasing 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 .
For all linerless media , a key benefit is the reduction in waste . With no backing paper to discard , linerless media offers significant paper saving properties with more labels per roll than standard label rolls . Thanks to fewer roll changes as well as the advantage of reduced shipping costs and storage space requirements given linerless labels are more compact than traditional labels , 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 .
As demand grows for labelling products in a variety of sectors , international POS hardware solutions provider Star Micronics has recently introduced its mC-Label3 and TSP143IVSK printers , designed to print permanent and repositionable labels , food orders , delivery and takeaway labels .
