PPWR-compliant and cost-effective shipping labeling
Sustainable and economical labeling solution with the cab Hermes WL linerless applicator
Starting at 12th August 2026, the new, EU-wide PPWR-Regulation (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40) goes into effect. The objective is to reduce packaging consumption significantly, improve recyclability and thereby strengthen the circular economy sustainably.
To implement these requirements without making fundamental changes to existing intralogistics, switching to linerless label printers is an effective and highly profitable measure.
The cab Hermes QL print-and-supply system offers the optimal combination of fast, reliable printing and precise, fully automatic dispensing of linerless labels during the shipping process. This innovative system provides a wide variety of applicator options and can integrated into existing production and shipping processes easily, and being adapted to different packaging formats and line speeds.
Implementation of PPWR guidelines:
- Significant waste reduction through complete elimination of liner material
- Reduced carbon footprint due to lower emissions along the supply chain
- Increased material efficiency with enhanced resource utilization
- Improved raw material flexibility through customized label lengths
- Sustainable printing process thanks to direct thermal printing with no need for ribbons
Additionally, the switch to the cab Hermes QL system offers numerous operation advantages:
- Optimized process reliability through precide, fully automatic application
- Real-time labeling without the need of manual intervention
- Reduced downtime by eliminating material roll changes
- Increased throughput
- Lower operating costs
In addition to meeting the requirements of the new PPWR directive, the use of the cab Hermes QL print applicator plays an important role in the economic and ecological implementation of innovative labeling solutions
