Star Micronics 37969680 Linerless Label Printer

Overview

The Star Micronics 37969680 is a compact linerless label printer designed for warehouse, logistics, and shipping environments where space and material efficiency are priorities. Linerless label technology eliminates backing material, reducing waste and per-label costs while maintaining consistent print quality for barcode, text, and image output.

Media Handling

This printer supports linerless label media, ideal for high-volume labeling operations. The compact form factor integrates easily into existing workstations, pick-pack areas, and shipping stations without requiring extensive counter or wall space.

Ideal Applications

Warehouse management, order fulfillment, parcel labeling, inventory tracking, and logistics operations where rapid label production and minimal material waste are required.

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

I've deployed linerless printers in dozens of warehouses, and the Star Micronics 37969680 handles the fundamentals well—particularly in pick-pack stations where you're cycling through variable-length labels all day. The elimination of backing material means you're not constantly clearing liner waste from workstations, and your media rolls last significantly longer between changes. That translates to fewer interruptions during peak shift hours.

This unit fits well in space-constrained environments—think mobile carts or dense packing lines where every inch matters. Print quality on barcodes holds up reliably for standard warehouse scanning distances. One thing to verify before you commit: linerless media requires a specific cutter mechanism, and you'll want to confirm your label application method works without a liner to grip. Some automated applicators expect traditional liner-on labels. Also, check that your current label design software supports linerless formats—most modern WMS platforms do, but legacy systems sometimes need configuration adjustments. For manual-apply operations in typical fulfillment workflows, it's a solid efficiency gain.
