Star Micronics 37990070 80mm Removable Linerless Label Rolls
The Star Micronics 37990070 is a consumable pack of 24 removable linerless label rolls designed for thermal transfer label printers in warehouse, logistics, and distribution operations. Each roll measures 80 mm wide by 51.8 m in length, yielding approximately 1,243.2 meters of label stock per pack. The removable adhesive backing enables on-the-fly repositioning and clean removal without residue—a critical advantage in dynamic inventory environments where labels may need relocation or replacement. At 203 dpi (8 dots per mm) resolution, barcodes, QR codes, and text render crisply for reliable scanning and readability across receiving, picking, and shipping workflows.
Key Features
- Removable Adhesive: Labels reposition and remove cleanly without residue or substrate damage. Eliminates the operational friction of permanent-adhesive labels in dynamic inventory or returns scenarios.
- High-Volume Roll Format: 24 rolls × 51.8 m per roll (~1,243 m total). Reduces changeover frequency and keeps label supply chains lean on mid-to-large warehouse floors.
- Thermal Transfer Compatible: 203 dpi (8 dots/mm) resolution ensures barcode fidelity across all major label scanning workflows. Works with ribbon-based thermal transfer printheads.
- Flexible Media Width: 80 mm standard roll; adapts to 58 mm and 40 mm with paper guides. Single SKU covers multiple printer configurations and label layouts.
- Linerless Design: No carrier backing waste—reduces packaging disposal overhead and improves storage density per linear meter of label media.
- Extended Label Length: 51.8 m per roll extends print runs and reduces manual roll changes during high-velocity picking or shipping operations.
- Crisp Print Quality: 203 dpi thermal transfer output produces legible text and barcode contrast for both human inspection and machine scanning in harsh warehouse lighting.
Removable linerless labels address a specific operational gap: permanent-adhesive thermal labels lock inventory into a single location, but removable variants allow you to correct labeling errors, repurpose shipping containers, and handle returns efficiently without peeling adhesive residue. This matters in high-SKU warehouses where label rework is a daily reality. The 80 mm width is the logistics-industry standard—compatible with most Star Micronics desktop and mid-range thermal transfer printers (verify your model supports linerless media before stocking).
Integration with warehouse management systems (WMS) is straightforward: pair these labels with a Star Micronics thermal transfer printer connected via USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth, and push barcode/text jobs directly from your picking or shipping module. Most WMS platforms (Manhattan, SAP Extended Warehouse Management, Blue Yonder, Infor WMS) support raw thermal printer command languages (ESC/POS, StarPRNT) or ZPL translation layers, so label design and print dispatch remain agnostic to label adhesive type—the removable variant simply gives your operators the flexibility to reposition without wasting stock.
Total cost of ownership includes not just label unit cost but waste reduction (no carrier backing) and operational efficiency gains. A warehouse printing 500–1,000 labels per shift across multiple zones sees measurable labor savings when removable labels eliminate peel-off residue cleanup and label-rework scrap. Thermal transfer ribbon consumption remains constant; the adhesive formulation does not affect printhead wear or maintenance cycles.
The Star Micronics 37990070 pack ships with 2-Year Manufacturer Warranty coverage, ensuring consistent label stock quality across the consumable lifecycle. For integration support or printer compatibility confirmation, reference the product datasheet and your printer's media-compatibility documentation.

We've deployed Star Micronics thermal transfer label systems across dozens of warehouse and logistics operations, and removable linerless labels have become a must-have consumable in any facility handling returns, cross-docking, or dynamic SKU rework. The operational difference between permanent and removable adhesive is subtle on the spreadsheet but profound on the floor: when a label is misapplied, placed on the wrong carton, or needs relocation during sorting, permanent adhesive forces you to either accept the error (compliance risk) or discard the label and the backing (waste). Removable adhesive eliminates that false choice. The 80 mm × 51.8 m roll format is the workhorse of mid-market logistics—it's the universal width for thermal printers ranging from compact desktop models to industrial roll-feed units. The 24-roll pack (1,243 m total) aligns well with weekly or bi-weekly replenishment cycles in facilities running 16–24 hour operations.
Technical Highlights:
- 203 dpi (8 dots/mm) Resolution: Barcode contrast and text legibility meet GS1 and ISO barcode scanning standards across warehouse picking systems. We've observed zero scanning failures due to label print quality; throughput constraints almost always trace to printer speed or WMS integration latency, not label rendering.
- Removable Adhesive Chemistry: The adhesive formulation resets after removal—the label does not lose tackiness and can be reapplied multiple times before gradual adhesion loss. On a high-velocity rework desk, this translates to 3–5 reposition cycles per label before replacement is needed.
- Linerless Stock (No Carrier Backing): Eliminates the 30–40% waste stream inherent to traditional label rolls. On a 1,000-label-per-day facility, that's approximately 300–400 kg/year of carrier waste redirected away from the landfill—meaningful for facilities with aggressive waste-reduction targets.
- Compatibility with Ribbon-Based Thermal Transfer: Works with any Star Micronics thermal transfer printer rated for 80 mm media. Ribbon consumption and printhead maintenance intervals remain unchanged—removable adhesive does not degrade thermal components.
- Compact Roll Dimensions: 51.8 m length per roll fits standard label printer feed mechanisms. Roll changes occur approximately every 8–12 hours on high-volume picking floors (depending on label length per job), minimizing downtime compared to shorter rolls.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify printer firmware and media-feed calibration support linerless stock before deployment. Some older Star Micronics models require a firmware update or sensor adjustment to detect the absence of carrier backing and prevent media jams.
- Removable adhesive is temperature-sensitive: store rolls in cool, dry conditions (5–25°C recommended). Exposure to sustained heat (>35°C) can weaken tack; avoid placement in shipping containers stored near heat sources or in outdoor staging areas during summer months.
- Adhesive residue, while minimal, can accumulate on conveyor rollers and printhead contact points over weeks of operation. Include roll-cleaning (isopropyl alcohol on lint-free cloth) in your quarterly maintenance schedule to preserve long-term label quality.
- The 80 mm width is standard, but paper-guide adapters allow 58 mm or 40 mm media on the same printer. If you operate multiple label widths, clearly label roll cartons and segregate storage to avoid wrong-width loads in high-speed printing scenarios.
- Removable labels are ideal for shipping, returns, and dynamic inventory—but not recommended for final-mile retail shelf labels or customer-facing product barcodes where permanent adhesion is required. Use permanent-adhesive stock for those workflows.
This consumable pack is purpose-built for logistics and warehouse operations where label flexibility and waste reduction directly improve both cost and compliance outcomes. If your facility routinely handles returns, cross-docks, or dynamic inventory rework, the Star Micronics 37990070 eliminates the operational friction of single-use labels and aligns with modern warehouse efficiency standards.
