TSC Auto ID MB241 Series Linerless Printer Wins Red Dot Award

TSC Auto ID, a global leader in automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) and thermal label printing technologies, today announces that the MB241 Series linerless printer has been recognized for design excellence with a Red Dot Award: Product Design 2025 in the Industrial Equipment, Machinery, and Automation category.

“We are thrilled the MB241 Series linerless printer has been singled out by one of the world’s most prestigious industrial design award programs,” said Michelle Hu, Director of Product Management at TSC Auto ID. “From the start, our vision for the MB241 series linerless was to innovate an industrial printer that enables organizations to be more productive and environmentally responsible.”

Leading the Way in Sustainable Labeling

By printing self-adhesive labels that do not use backing paper, linerless printers help operators reduce waste, lower costs, and minimize slip hazards for a safer and greener workplace. TSC Auto ID is leading the shift toward sustainable efficiency with the MB241 Series linerless printer. One of just a few linerless printers built for industrial use, it supports variable label lengths on one paper roll, accommodates 60% more labels per 8-inch OD roll than traditional printers, and enables more efficient operations free from liner peeling and disposal.

Smart, Hassle-free Design

While linerless label printing offers several benefits, it also presents challenges, primarily adhesive residue buildup within the printer, which can increase incidences of paper jams and make maintenance more complicated. MB241 Series linerless printers address these issues with a design that reduces contact points, enables easy print alignment adjustment, and includes safety features for quick, safe cleaning. It also supports a wide range of validated linerless labels to ensure consistent, reliable performance.
