5300 Swing-Tamp Label Printer Applicator
Weber's Model 5300 swing-tamp system is redefining the meaning of versatility in the printing and application of pressure-sensitive label to the leading or trailing side of a product. This is the best way to add a label to your product front or back while moving along your production line.
In addition to offering a broad selection of high-quality print engines that feature various print resolutions and label dispensing rates, this Model 5300 system is available with optional RFID print-encode engines.
Standard direct- and thermal-transfer print engines from manufacturers Zebra, SATO and Datamax produce text, bar codes and graphic images at 203, 300 or 600 dpi. The Zebra-based RFID models combine these printing capabilities with the encoding and verification of RFID inlays to meet EPC Gen 2 protocols.
