Abstract
A web of linerless label stock having a recording layer on a top surface and an adhesive layer on a bottom surface is provided with registration marks printed onto the adhesive layer. The linerless label stock further includes perforation lines in correspondence with the registration marks. The spacing between adjacent ones of the registration marks may be selected to correspond with desired width of the linerless labels. To process the linerless label stock, the web of linerless label stock is first sent through a flexographic printing system where registration marks are applied to the adhesive layer at constant intervals. After the registration marks are applied, the web of label stock passes through a die station that perforates the web in correspondence with the registration marks. The web is then wound up into finished rolls to be placed on a thermal printer.
