Linerless labels
The packaging industry is changing. Stricter sustainability targets, evolving regulations and the need for more efficient material use are driving new label concepts. Linerless labels contribute to lower material consumption and less waste in the packaging chain.
Demand is growing in QSR, retail, e-commerce and logistics. For label producers, this offers new opportunities to expand the portfolio and respond to a market in which sustainability and innovation increasingly go hand in hand.
The growing potential of linerless labels
‘Linerless labels are here to stay.’ At the same time, applications, material combinations and performance requirements continue to evolve. This calls for flexibility, not only in production, but also in product development.
With your own coating technology, you gain greater control over your product. You have more influence over material choices and product specifications. This creates scope to develop new concepts, respond more quickly to your customers’ challenges and further expand your expertise in the field of linerless applications.
Why your customer should consider linerless labels
Develop linerless products with in-house coating equipment
Want to respond more quickly and effectively to market demand? By acquiring your own linerless label coating equipment, you become less reliant on your suppliers and take control of your material specifications and product design. This shifts the focus from simply producing linerless labels to actively developing them.
These developments also bring new challenges. How do you set up a process that is both stable and flexible? How do you ensure product quality whilst leaving room for innovation? And how do you translate new ideas into a reproducible production process?
Hybrid technology
Does the move to a linerless coating line still seem too big a step? With our hybrid coating technology, you can produce both linerless labels and laminates on a single production line. By rotating the hot-melt coating station, you can apply hot-melt to both sides of the paper or film web. This allows you to combine the best of both worlds. What’s more, switching between the two production modes takes just 15 minutes.

About Maan Engineering
The development of linerless labels has made a significant contribution to a more sustainable packaging industry over the past few decades. As developers of coating and converting technology, we have been involved in this product development since its early stages. Today, we are applying that experience to create robust and efficient production lines for label manufacturers worldwide.
At Maan Engineering, we develop coating equipment that adds value to your production process. We do this by making efficiency, manageability and sustainability our guiding principles, rather than treating them as an afterthought.
