Model 4300 Pro-Apply Printer-Applicator

Weber’s economical Model 4300 Pro-Apply printer-applicators feature the functionality often limited to higher-duty production systems.

The result is a versatile in-line system that combines high-quality label printing and application that ensures fast, accurate pressure-sensitive labeling.

The Model 4300 Pro-Apply systems are designed and engineered by Weber, and are assembled in our own U.S. manufacturing facility. Each unit is equipped with an on-demand, thermal/thermal-transfer print engine from Datamax, SATO or Zebra to produce 203-, 300- or 600-dpi text, bar codes and graphic images at speeds up to 16 ips.

Labels up to 6” wide and 6” long are printed in a cost-efficient, next-out mode, and then are instantly applied to cartons or products on the production or packaging line.

Utilizing the tamp-blow method of application, a printed pressure-sensitive label is automatically peeled from its liner and is retained by vacuum on the applicator’s tamp pad. The pad is extended (select from 2” to 12” strokes) and blown onto the package from approximately 0.25”.

Several standard tamp-pad sizes are available, and are provided in quick-change configurations. In just a few seconds, the tamp-pad can be removed and another fastened in its place to handle a different size label.
