With 130 years of history that have supported the creation of Iconex and deep roots in paper and labeling technologies, Iconex set out to modernize the industry by combining reliability with forward-thinking innovation. That ambition created an entire platform and became the foundation for a growing label portfolio of purpose-built linerless and lined label solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of our customers.
One of our most impactful breakthroughs was the introduction of Iconex Sticky Media™ linerless labels. As the market innovator of this patented linerless technology, Iconex redefined how to solve everyday labeling problems, improving efficiency, reducing liner waste, and simplifying operations with a smarter, more sustainable solution for businesses worldwide.
It wasn’t just an innovation; it was a paradigm shift in how the industry defined labels.
Since then, the Iconex Sticky Media™ brand has expanded the core portfolio to include a broader range of specialized linerless product lines engineered for specific applications and performance demands, including Ultralite, Full Tack, Extreme, G2, and Zero.
Advancing Traditional Label Innovation
Iconex has continued to lead advancements in lined label technology, bringing patented, highly specialized solutions to market that enhance functionality and compliance across the hospitality, food freshness and safety, retail, grocery, pharmacy, shipping, and eCommerce industries.
These innovations demonstrate how Iconex continues to push beyond traditional labeling, developing smarter, more adaptable solutions that meet the real-world demands of modern business.
