Gallus Five

Unparalleled production capacity and efficiency

Experience the next generation of label printing with the Gallus Five, which stands out thanks to its performance, flexibility, and innovative strength. With a printing speed of up to 100 m/min, it enables fast turnaround times and high production volumes—without compromising on print quality.

Specially designed for medium to high print runs, the Gallus Five shifts the economic break-even point for hybrid label production from 5,000 to an impressive 10,000 running meters. This means maximum productivity with lower unit costs and a significantly improved TCO (total cost of ownership).

In a dynamic environment, modularity and flexibility are more than just advantages—they are the key to sustainable success in printing.

Part of the System to Compose

Designed for further development – optimized for performance

Thanks to its modular architecture and seamless integration into the to Compose system, the Gallus Five is optimally designed to adapt flexibly to changing production requirements. Based on the proven Gallus Labelmaster platform, it can be configured with a print width of either 340 mm or 430 mm.

The future-proof, modular design allows for easy configuration and subsequent expansion with printing, finishing, and die-cutting modules. This makes the Gallus Five the perfect solution for companies that want to stay one step ahead in a dynamic market environment.

In addition to all the advantages of the System to Compose, such as physical modularity, sophisticated workflow solutions such as operability via HEIDELBERG Prinect, and a modular service offering, the Gallus Five impresses with innovative components that further increase efficiency and performance. These include the newly developed Heidelberg Saphira UV05 ink set, the high-performance SDC Pro semi-rotary die cutter for a print width of 430 mm, and the new, energy-efficient LED drying unit.

All components are perfectly matched to ensure maximum uptime and efficiency.

More about the System to Compose

Heidelberg Saphira UV05

The new Heidelberg Saphira UV05 ink, developed in collaboration between HEIDELBERG and Gallus, complies with current regulations for safe inks. It is therefore particularly suitable for demanding and sensitive applications, such as those in the health, beauty, and cosmetics sectors.

In addition, the ink set (6C + white) offers unparalleled color brilliance and reduced ink consumption thanks to its high color pigmentation, even at full production speed. The Heidelberg Saphira UV05 also covers the 32 most common PANTONE® spot colors in packaging printing with minimal ∆E.

The advantages at a glance

  • Achieves 95% of the PANTONE® color space at 100 m/min

  • Covers the 32 most common PANTONE® spot colors in packaging printing

  • Reduced ink consumption thanks to higher pigmented ink

  • White (optional) with 85% opacity at full speed

  • Sets the bar for current standards for safe inks

SDC Pro enables precise and powerful punching performance

The new high-performance SDC Pro semi-rotary die cutter is designed for maximum efficiency. It enables die cutting at a width of 430 mm and speeds of up to 100 m/min. The innovative design guarantees quick die plate changes without having to replace the die cylinder, which significantly reduces setup times.

Modern LED technology for improved energy efficiency

The Gallus Five is equipped with advanced LED pinning and curing technology. The integration of GEW LeoLED reduces power consumption by up to 50%, resulting in significant savings in energy costs. In addition, customers benefit from the longevity of LED technology, which not only increases efficiency but also enables sustainable and resource-saving printing operations.

Faster, smarter, more economical

From significant time savings thanks to simple operation and automated functions, to an impressive printing speed of up to 100 m/min, to significant energy savings thanks to innovative LED drying. The Gallus Five impresses from the very first print with outstanding Gallus quality and makes hybrid label printing faster, more efficient, and more economical.
