Double investment in Gallus quality at the HP-ETIKETT printing company: two new Gallus Labelmaster presses with LED UV curing from GEW – one 5-color and one 8-color flexographic printing press – are expanding the capacity for the production of self-adhesive labels. With this extensive investment, the German family-owned company is placing its trust in LED UV technology and the flexibility of the modular machine system.
With two new flexographic printing presses with LED UV curing from GEW, the print service provider based in Hitzhusen, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, is making a major investment. The production lines were delivered and installed within a few weeks in February and March 2021 and are mainly used for the production of highly finished labels.
The first of the two Gallus Labelmasters is an 8-color flexographic printing press equipped with a cold foil finishing unit, lamination capability, and an MR Touch rewinder, offering ideal conditions for the production of high-end labels. The second Gallus Labelmaster comprises five flexographic printing units and also offers the option of reverse printing on adhesive (Delam-Relam). Thanks to a web offset device, HP-ETIKETT can print and die-cut multi-layer labels with the 5-color Labelmaster.
Both printing presses have a printing width of 440 mm and are equipped with GEW LED UV ink drying systems, a rotary die-cutting unit, and an MR Touch Quick rewinder.
"I am still impressed by the flexibility of the Gallus Labelmaster, even after several months of use," reports Eugen Kölling from HP-ETIKETT GmbH & Co. KG. "The printing presses are intuitive to operate, which means that they are easy for our operators to use, easily accessible, and quick to set up."
HP-ETIKETT relies on LED UV
"In fall 2020, we made a conscious decision to invest in LED UV technology. This will enable us to further reduce our CO2 emissions and make our production more efficient in the long term," explains Eugen Kölling from HP-ETIKETT.
Flexibility, delivery reliability, and short decision-making processes are the characteristics that define HP-ETIKETT's reputation and are highly valued by the family-owned company. "The Gallus Labelmaster is flexible in use, but the details are also impressive. For example, we can change color chambers in no time at all: the machine operator prepares the ink chamber and cleans it outside the machine, and the changeover is quick and clean, taking just a few minutes," explains Eugen Kölling, summing up positively: "With the two Gallus Labelmasters, we not only have proven Gallus quality and professional service, but also machine systems that are flexible and quick to use."
HP-ETIKETT GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 1972 and, with its 25 employees, primarily serves the food market, the chemical industry, and the logistics sector. With a machine park currently comprising nine machines, including flexo/digital and blank machines, HP-ETIKETT is very well positioned to quickly and flexibly meet all customer requirements – from simple, cost-efficient print jobs to complex eight-color labels with embossing, lamination, and reverse printing.
