When it comes to labels, we tend to obsess over the visible things — the face stock, the print, the barcode. But there is a silent hero in every label that is essential to its success: the release liner stock. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, but at Sai Tech Label, a label stock manufacturer, we understand how crucial this backing material can be. Particularly for barcode labels in various industries.

What Is Release Liner?
The release liner is the backing paper or film which the adhesive label is held on until you are ready to apply it. It keeps the adhesive and label from getting damaged and peeled off, and guarantees a perfectly removed label. It’s as if it’s the base of the label — where nothing comes off until it’s time to stick.
Now, if you’ve ever dealt with a label that tears or peels in a bad way, it was probably due to the release liner not doing its thing well.
Why Does it Matter?
The release liner stock is particularly important for barcode labels, which must be clean, scannable and accurate. These tags are commonly used in logistics, retail, healthcare and industry. Even a slightly damaged or misapplied barcode can hold up shipments, introduce errors or cause inventory discrepancies.
Our backing paper ranges are designed to:
- Labels remove easily and cleanly.
- Leaves no adhesive on liners.
- The label is easily applied as well — no bent corners or wasted labels, with no time wasted jamming or tearing a sheet of labels.
