TSC zero waste label printer
Globally, we use and
throw away millions of
tons of release liners
every single year.
The liner or carrier sheet is for the
adhesive face stock of your labels,
typically a coated calendared Kraft
paper. But here’s the problem says
Techspan: traditional release liners
are silicone coated and extremely
difficult to recycle, so they
inevitably end up in the landfill.
Some companies do now run label
recycling programmes but this still
requires shipping of this waste
stock thousands of kilometres to be
processed.
Because stickers and labels are
an accessory to e-commerce
packaging, they’re easy to overlook
when you’re greening your
packaging.
The TSC desktop DA-220 thermal
label printer, set up for lineless label
printing eliminates all these issues.
The DA-220 model is manufactured
by TSC in Taiwan, with added
linerless platen roller and label
cutter for Linerless labels. It’s a
compact design printer with a
200dpi direct thermal print head,
100mm wide. Its quality built,
affordable, robust, rugged, quiet,
easy to use and to load. It prints
at 152mm per second and has an
Ethernet connection on-board.
Bluetooth connectivity is available,
but as an optional extra. It’s
great for freight and logistics,
warehousing and pack houses,
or anywhere you are currently
using peel and present printers.
Standard DA-200 printers can
also be converted to linerless
printers. Label rolls come 100mm
wide by 90m long and are cut and
presented any length required.
Linerless labels have a special
release coating applied to the face
of the label which allows the labels
to be wound on a roll without the
adhesive sticking to the label below
it. Eliminating the liner is a smarter
and greener solution by reducing
solid waste stream and minimising
silicone in landfills.
Benefits:
• Eliminating the liner translates to
savings on material, freight and
storage costs
• Increased productivity by
eliminating time spent managing
and disposing used liner and
changing label rolls
• Decreasing potential workplace
injuries by removing the hazard
of slippery liner waste on the
warehouse floor
• Environmentally friendly by
reducing waste and minimising
silicone in landfills which helps
achieve corporate ‘green’ zerowaste
initiatives
