Linerless Labels NZ: Unlock Zero-Waste Labelling with Zebra & Peacock Bros.

Date: 10-08-2026

 

Reduce Waste. Increase Productivity. Transform Your Labelling Operations.

New Zealand businesses are under increasing pressure to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and meet sustainability targets.

Traditional label rolls create unnecessary waste, require frequent roll changes, and can slow down operations. Linerless labelling offers a smarter alternative.

By combining Zebra's innovative linerless printing technology with Peacock Bros. NZ's high-quality linerless labels, businesses can eliminate liner waste, reduce downtime, and improve operational performance.

 

Why Switch to Linerless Labels?

- Eliminate release liner waste

- More labels per roll

- Reduce roll changes and downtime

- Lower waste disposal costs

- Improve operational efficiency

- Support sustainability and ESG goals


What Are Linerless Labels?

Linerless labels are an innovative labelling solution designed without the traditional release liner backing found on conventional label rolls.

Instead of peeling labels away from a disposable backing, linerless labels use specially engineered coatings that allow labels to be wound directly onto a roll.

This simple innovation delivers significant benefits:

  • More labels per roll
  • Less waste generation
  • Reduced storage requirements
  • Fewer interruptions for roll changes
  • Increased operator productivity
For warehouses, manufacturers, food producers, retailers, and logistics providers, linerless technology can deliver measurable operational and environmental improvements. 

Why New Zealand Businesses Are Switching to Linerless Labels

Reduce Waste at the Source

Traditional label rolls generate a continuous stream of liner waste that often ends up in landfill.

Linerless technology eliminates this waste completely, helping organisations reduce their environmental footprint and support sustainability initiatives.

Benefits

  • No release liner waste
  • Reduced landfill contribution
  • Lower waste management costs
  • Improved ESG and sustainability reporting

Increase Productivity

When operators spend less time replacing rolls, production lines and warehouse operations can run more efficiently.

Because linerless rolls contain more labels, businesses benefit from fewer interruptions and greater operational uptime.

Benefits

  • Fewer roll changes
  • Less production downtime
  • Improved workflow efficiency
  • Increased throughput

Lower Total Operating Costs

The cost of a label extends beyond the purchase price.

Labour, downtime, storage, transportation, and waste disposal all contribute to the total cost of ownership.

Linerless solutions can help reduce costs across multiple areas of your operation.

Potential Savings Areas

✓ Labour costs

✓ Roll change downtime

✓ Waste disposal
