Abstract
A rewinding apparatus is configured to accommodate linerless labels. The apparatus includes a thermal printer for processing an unprinted roll of labels, a rewinder disposed in the vicinity of the thermal printer for rewinding the printed roll after the unprinted roll is processed by the thermal printer, and a base plate supporting the rewinder to position the rewinder in a predetermined position relative to the thermal printer. With linerless labels, the roll of processed labels is wound spaced from a rewinder main body to avoid catching the media adhesive on a side guide, thereby preventing bubbles and wrinkles from being induced in the rewound roll.
