Linerless sticky rolls require a linerless-capable printer — not all thermal printers are compatible
Important: linerless rolls require a compatible printer
Standard thermal printers will jam with linerless sticky paper — the adhesive builds up on the print head and platen roller. You need a printer specifically designed for linerless media. Compatible models include the Epson TM-L90, TM-L90 Plus, TM-L100 and Bixolon SRP-S300, SRP-S3000. If you are not sure whether your printer is linerless-capable, call us before ordering.

Where it's used

Industries that use linerless sticky thermal

One roll handles both the receipt and the label — eliminating the need for a separate label printer at every station.

Quick Service Restaurants
Bag labeling, order confirmation, drive-thru
Print the order and stick it to the bag in one step. Eliminates hand-written labels and separate label printers at the packaging station. Removable adhesive recommended.
Drive-Thru Operations
Cup labels, drink order tracking
Stick order details directly to hot and cold cups without liner waste. Works with condensation on cold cups and heat on hot beverages. 2 1/4" removable most common.
Food Prep & Delivery
To-go packaging, third-party delivery sealing
Print customer name, order contents, and allergy info — stick directly to clamshells, boxes, or bags for DoorDash and Uber Eats orders. 3 1/8" removable most common.
Retail & Grocery
Shelf labels, price tags, deli packaging
Linerless rolls eliminate liner waste at deli and prepared food stations. Stick directly to packaging film, containers, and shelf edges. Semi-permanent or permanent recommended.
Logistics & Warehouse
Carton labeling, tote tagging, route sorting
Print and apply routing and sorting labels without a separate label printer. No liner to dispose of — reduces waste at high-volume packing stations. Permanent adhesive recommended.
Hospitality
Room service, amenity labeling, minibar
Label room service orders, amenity bags, and in-room packaging directly from the POS or kitchen printer. Eliminates handwriting on labels and reduces order errors. Removable adhesive recommended.
