From 11 to 14 September 2023 in Brussels Belgian, Heidelberg and its subsidiary Gallus will be showcasing a range of digital technology at Labelexpo Europe 2023 at stand 11C30.
Labelexpo will mark the European trade show debut of the new Gallus One digital label press. Launched in August 2022, the Gallus One was specifically designed to remove the total cost of ownership (TCO) barrier for the adoption of reel-to-reel digital labels with high level of automation and cloud-based technologies. The systems support increased automation of the entire print ecosystem, with the aim of facilitating ‘smart, connected printing’ to address shortage of skilled labour, increase productivity, and reduce waste.
Further optimizing the TCO benefits, Gallus recently launched the new Gallus One with Converting. This new press brings everything inline, featuring a digital printer with an inline flexo station, a semi-rotary die-cutter that can change a job within one minute and process up to 70m a minute, and vision inspection systems. The trade show will also see Gallus highlight the newly available digital printing unit (DPU) for the Gallus ECS 340 flexo press which transforms a traditional Gallus ECS 340 into a Gallus Labelfire 340 hybrid press – but crucially, without the additional platform investment.
For Heidelberg, digital label printing is an attractive market to grow in the digital printing segment, as it has a growth rate of around 6 percent per year and is, therefore, increasingly turning to digital solutions. The latest innovations from Heidelberg and Gallus underscore their commitment to boosting this digital transformation. “The new solutions that Heidelberg and Gallus have developed together address the most important challenges that stakeholders’ market-wide are facing every day, such as the shortage of skilled labor and the demand for more productivity,” commented Dr. Ludwin Monz, CEO, Heidelberg.
Dario Urbinati, CEO, Gallus Group, concluded: “Labelexpo is always such a positive and inspiring arena, and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity not only to showcase our latest products at the show, but also to connect with stakeholders’ market-wide and continue to share our vision for the industry’s future.”
