What are POS Sticky QuickStick Receipt Labels?

If you’re in the hospitality industry, you’ve probably used POS Sticky QuickStick Receipt Labels to label food and beverages for drive-thru, takeout, delivery, and mobile app orders. In essence, they combine thermal receipt paper and pressure-sensitive labels into one convenient roll that works with Point-of-Sale (POS) linerless printers like the Epson TM-L90 and Bixolon SRP-S300.

They are made with special adhesive patterns that allow you to stick and re-stick them to various food packaging, helping speed up your order assembly and minimize food waste. They are also liner-free and made without BPA or BPS, making them an environmentally friendly labeling option.

You’ve also probably heard these products referred to by many different names, including linerless labels, liner-free labels, sticky thermal paper, sticky back receipt rolls, re-stick labels, and POS Sticky QuickStick Receipt Labels. Let's delve into why these rolls have so many different names and explore some of the most common aliases they go by.

1. POS Sticky QuickStick Receipt Labels / POS Sticky Rolls / Sticky POS Paper

At the core of it, this product is meant for the POS (Point-of-Sale). Unlike regular thermal receipt paper rolls, these have an adhesive backing - but they won’t gum up your linerless thermal printer. Check out our line of POS Sticky QuickStick Receipt Labels here.

2. Sticky Paper Rolls / Sticky Thermal Paper

Similar to what we mentioned above, this makes sense if you consider these the “sticky” version of your thermal POS receipt paper rolls.

3. Sticky Receipt Rolls / Sticky Receipt Paper

This is where terms like sticky receipts, sticky receipt paper, and QuickStick Receipt Labels all start to overlap within hospitality and food service applications.

4. Sticky Back Thermal Paper / Sticky Back Receipt Rolls

This reinforces the same messages as above - these are the “sticky back” version of your POS thermal receipt paper rolls.

5. Maxstick Labels / Maxstick Paper Rolls

Maxstick is one of the original brands that started selling these rolls, and they have become a staple name. Check out our line of Maxstick Liner-Free Rolls here.

6. Iconex Sticky Media

Iconex is another big name in the sticky thermal roll space. They were the first to coin the term "Sticky Media" for these rolls made specifically for linerless printers like the Epson TM-l90 and Bixolon SRP-S300. Check out our full line of Iconex Sticky Media.

7. Re-Stick Labels / Re-Stick Paper Rolls

Because this product often features removable or repositionable adhesives, they are also commonly referred to as “re-stick labels” or “repositionable receipt labels.” It is an important feature for many businesses, especially restaurants and QSRs, because it helps to improve order accuracy, reduce errors, and increase customer satisfaction.

8. Linerless Labels / Liner-Free Label Rolls

Another unique feature of these rolls is that they have no paper backing. So there is less paper waste and a more eco-friendly option for environmentally-conscious businesses.

9. Repositionable POS Labels

As we mentioned, these labels are designed to stick and re-stick to various food packaging, including bags, containers and cups for hot and iced beverages, to help streamline order assembly.

10. TM-L90 Sticky Paper Rolls / Epson TM-L90 Rolls

The Epson TM-L90 is the most popular thermal linerless printer on the market. It was designed specifically for these thermal rolls with no liner backing, and the sticky back adhesive. Other popular linerless label printers that are compatible with these rolls are the Epson TM-L100, the Bixolon SRP-S300, the Bixolon SRP-S300 and the Star mC-Label3 printer.

It’s fascinating how a single product category can go by so many different names — from linerless labels and sticky thermal paper, to re-stick labels and POS Sticky QuickStick Receipt Labels. We hope that this helped to clear up any confusion so you can feel confident that you are choosing the right product for your business!
