Matthews Australasia has released new inkjet print and apply labelling technology from Avery Dennison that uses LightSmart technology to eliminate wasteful use of backing paper when printing content and shipping labels on cartons, trays and pallets.
The Avery Dennison LPA 81x uses an adhesive backing that is activated through infrared heat. The label becomes sticky through heat activation after the print and cut stage – a key differentiator compared to existing backing paper-free print and apply solutions.
According to Matthews, it also offers bottom-line benefits through boosted productivity. The LPA 81x increases production line up-time due to 60 per cent more labels on roll, and reduces operator workload due to fewer and easier roll changes.
The LPA 81x also offers reduced materials handling and reduced inventory space, and increases users’ sustainability credentials.
