Why Use Linerless Sticky Labels?

Linerless media does not use disposable silicone backing paper. Labels print at the required length and can be applied directly to cups, bags, containers and packages. Repositionable adhesive allows compatible labels to be adjusted or removed more cleanly than many permanent labels.

Eliminating the backing liner can reduce waste around preparation and packing stations while allowing businesses to print different label lengths from the same roll. Actual adhesion and removal performance depend on the selected paper, surface, temperature and application.

Compare Star TSP143IV SK Models

Compatibility warning: These printers look similar, but their interfaces and printer emulations are not identical. Part number 37952430 is specifically the wired USB-C and Ethernet model with ESC/POS emulation. Confirm the exact part number required by your POS provider before ordering.

Compatible Star Linerless Paper

The 37952430 requires compatible linerless direct thermal adhesive media. Star Blue Eco linerless paper is available in 40 mm, 58 mm and 80 mm widths with diamond-pattern or full-coverage repositionable adhesive.

How to Choose the Paper Width

• 40 mm: Best for narrow order-identification labels and applications requiring less printed information.
• 58 mm: A balanced option for names, order numbers, barcodes and moderate label detail.
• 80 mm: Provides the largest printable area for detailed food-preparation, delivery or order labels.

Diamond-Pattern vs. Full-Coverage Adhesive

• Diamond-pattern adhesive: Adhesive is applied in a pattern, helping reduce total adhesive contact and making labels easier to handle or reposition in many applications.
• Full-coverage adhesive: Adhesive covers more of the label surface for applications requiring greater contact with the container, bag or package.

Test the selected media on the intended surface and under actual operating conditions before a large deployment. Temperature, moisture, surface texture, grease and condensation can affect label adhesion.
