COBALT Systems, a manufacturer of print and apply labelling systems and barcode solutions integrator, has announced the launch of its new NEXUS20 linerless print and apply range.
Part of the NEXUS20 series, the new linerless tech uses direct thermal linerless media from UPM Adhesive Materials, eliminating the need for traditional label backing materials. This approach, the firm explained, reduces raw material usage by up to 50%, cuts waste, and allows for more labels per roll.
The system is designed to run with linerless media in standard 4” and 6” widths. Once loaded, the machine prints, cuts, and applies each label to the required length. This eliminates the need for ribbons and increases output.
“Bringing a linerless solution to market wasn’t something we approached lightly,” said MD and founder Tony Hunt. “We’ve invested significant time in research, development, and rigorous field testing to ensure our NEXUS20 linerless print and apply range meets the same exacting standards our customers have come to expect from Cobalt.
“This isn’t just about adopting new technology, it’s about giving our customers complete confidence in a solution that performs reliably, day in and day out, in the most demanding environments, whilst delivering all the benefits of linerless labels.”
The systems are designed and manufactured at Cobalt’s facility in Wardle, Cheshire. They are suited to sectors including food and beverage, logistics, FMCG, and pharmaceutical packaging.”
