Labeling Innovations from Weber

Packaging pros got a pre-introduction sneak peek at our all-new Alpha Compact pressure-sensitive label applicator back in September at the big Pack Expo show in Las Vegas.

The economically-priced unit, which features a small footprint yet employs the highly-accurate wipe-on method to affix p-s labels to packages right on the production line, proved to be crowd-pleaser in our booth. And now that the Alpha Compact is ready for delivery, we just recently distributed an email blast introducing the applicator to thousands of our customers.

Wow. The response has been overwhelming, as hundreds of curious people have taken a closer look at the Alpha Compact on our website. Here are some of the features they’re reading about:

• Applies label up to 4.7” wide and 11.8” long
• Speeds along at up to 164 feet/minute
• Labels tops, bottoms or sides of packages
• Provides accurate placement to within ±0.03”

And, of course, we’re making the ruggedly constructed unit available in both right- and left-hand models.

So, if you’re interested in a cost-efficient solution to really terrific p-s labeling, take a look at the Alpha Compact wipe-on label applicator.

Here at Weber’s Arlington Heights, IL plant, we print A LOT of labels every day. And that means plenty of waste that used to go to the landfill.

Not long ago we introduced the Epson SecurColor™ printer, a compact, on-demand unit that provides high-quality, color inkjet printing on a wide variety of pressure-sensitive labels and tags.

It’s the first color printer we’ve ever offered – and it’s a nice little unit. It handles labels up to 4.4” wide and operates at selectable print resolutions of 180, 360 and 720 dpi. And it zips along at up to 3.7” per second.

It’s really simple to format your labels on a PC, then print them from a PDF or JPEG file. And the color images come out really great.

Here’s a video demo that explains everything. You can even purchase the Epson SecurColor™ directly on our Go-Label website.

If you're looking to print color labels to comply with GHS requirements, download our Guide to GHS Labeling ebook and learn about other EPSON label printers and materials that work best for this specific type of chemical labeling.
