Field Boxmore, one of Europe's leading producers of printed paper packaging for pharmaceuticals and healthcare, has installed two Weber 5200 series printer applicators on the high speed packing lines at its Leicester factory.
Their installation continues a long-standing relationship between the two firms.
The 5200s print variable outer case information onto blank labels in human readable and barcode formats. Each system includes a high density, on-demand thermal transfer printer that provides crisp text and in-spec barcodes at 300dpi.
The machines are fully integrated into the production line and linked to Field Boxmore's management information systems, enabling label data to be centrally controlled and updated, and providing valuable production feedback. With around 80 different jobs per day requiring outer case labels, ease of set-up and product changeover were fundamental requirements.
