What is the difference between MAXStick and linerless labels?

MAXStick is itself a linerless solution. What sets it apart is the combination of a patented silicone-free coating and repositionable adhesive, with different adhesive patterns and tack levels. Many other linerless materials use a silicone layer to let the roll unwind. Which version is suitable depends on the printer and the application; the coating alone does not determine how well a label adheres.
