Weber to Feature Printer-Applicator That Labels Adjacent Case Panels at Pack Expo International 2008


Arlington Heights, Ill. - Weber Marking Systems will highlight its Model 5300 twin-tamp label printer-applicator at its Pack Expo booth #S-2440. Designed and manufactured exclusively by Weber, the twin-tamp system combines thermal label printing with a specially configured pressure-sensitive label applicator to handle the printing and two-label, adjacent-panel application of case labels in line.

The twin-tamp system is available with choice of print engines that offer 203- or 300-dpi label imprinting. Handling a range of label sizes, systems produces variable-sized text, bar codes and graphic images at print speeds up to 16 ips.

When a label is printed, it is fed onto the system's tamp pad, which is mounted to a 90-degree swing arm that reaches across a conveyor to apply the pressure-sensitive label to the front panel of a moving case. Upon the arm's return, a second label is printed, then applied with a straight-line stroke to the side panel of the case.

Complete details on the Model 5300 twin-tamp, including a video demo, are available on Weber's web site at www.webermarking.com/html/5300_twin-tamp.html.

Weber also will be exhibiting a wide range of additional pressure-sensitive label printer-applicators and applicators at Pack Expo, plus its offering of custom and prime labels.
