What started as a small, family-owned hand printer company in Chicago, Weber Packaging Solutions is now a global company in its third generation. This year, the company celebrates its 90th anniversary.
Originally founded in 1932 as Weber Addressing Machine Company by Joseph Weber, Sr., who introduced the company’s first hand printer, the Tag-O-Graph, for directly marking cartons. By the 1940s, Weber introduced an Address Machine that allowed for direct, mechanical printing on envelopes and changed its name to Weber Marking Systems. Every decade since, Weber has made significant technological advances in labeling and printing, moving from manual to automated, digital solutions. In line with these advances, Weber changed its name to Weber Packaging Solutions in 2011. That same year, Weber introduced its Model 4300 Pro-Apply, an economical line of printer-applicators, and installed its first Mark-Andy P7 label press, which handles the most complex print applications.
