The Weber Model 5500LF liner-free
label printer applicator is powered by
NuLabel’s adhesive activation
technology
Weber Packaging Solutions is introducing their new liner-free label printer applicator that can print and apply linerless labels. The Weber Model 5500LF liner-free label printer applicator is powered by NuLabel’s breakthrough adhesive activation technology. The specially coated dry adhesive label material is activated just before the label is applied to the product.
The NuLabel-formulated water-based solution contains no solids and evaporates almost immediately, eliminating the glue build-up that is common with linerless systems today. Using existing tamp-blow application, the label is dispensed, cut to size, and then activated using NuLabel’s proprietary fluid.
The Model 5500LF uses label material rolls with an outside diameter of 13.75 inches thereby reducing roll changeovers by 50% and resulting in more production uptime. Without the need of a traditional pressure-sensitive liner, the pre-coated roll can hold twice the amount of labels, resulting in less downtime and a zero waste-toland fill solution.
The Model 5500LF is a robust system designed to operate 24 x 7. It features the Zebra ZE-500 print engine that can operate in thermal-transfer or direct thermal mode. When used for direct thermal printing the need for a ribbon is eliminated, increasing machine uptime even further. Using the tamp-blow method to apply the labels, the Model 5500LF also features browser-based monitoring, numerous I/O’s for connection to external devices, one-to-one media consumption (for thermal-transfer mode), plus durable construction to withstand harsh industrial environments.
The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.
A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has
demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.
As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
