FAQs

Regulations questions, answered

Ask us about regulations

Do linerless labels help with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) fees?

Yes. Removing the silicone liner eliminates a material stream that would otherwise be reportable packaging waste, which can lower per-tonne fees under UK EPR rules.

Does Natasha's Law apply to PPDS labels?

Yes. PPDS foods must show full ingredients lists with allergens emphasised. Linerless labels print to exact length, making it easier to fit long ingredient lists without switching label sizes.

What proof should I keep for compliance reporting?

Keep supplier specifications showing the rolls are linerless, plus purchase invoices by weight. This evidence supports packaging waste calculations during audits.
