Fedrigoni joins Gallus Experience Center

The partnership will allow converters, brand owners and other industry partners to evaluate Fedrigoni’s self-adhesive papers and films alongside Gallus printing technologies in a production environment.

Initial development and testing will focus on premium wine and spirits labels, combining Gallus’ digital embellishment technology with Fedrigoni’s materials expertise. The companies will explore applications requiring tactile finishes, strong substrate performance and high shelf impact.

The collaboration will also support the continued development of Gallus MatteJet, which was commercially launched for premium label applications.

Fedrigoni’s portfolio includes self-adhesive materials for wine and spirits, luxury packaging, pharmaceutical, home and personal care applications.

Gallus said the agreement forms part of its strategy to bring together suppliers from across the label production chain at its Experience Center. Customers can use the facility to test and validate complete production workflows before investing in or introducing them commercially.

Dario Urbinati, CEO of Gallus Group, said: ‘Converters today need confidence that the technologies they invest in will perform together in a real production environment.

‘By welcoming Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives to the Gallus Experience Center, we can provide customers with the opportunity to test, validate and refine complete solutions before taking them into production.’
