Global Print Services hosts booklet label open house

Global Print Services (GPS), a print engineering company and distributor for industry suppliers such as Gidue, Prati, UV Ray and Longford International, hosted a recent open house focused on booklet label production at its Boston, UK, facility. Over a five day period, nearly 50 visitors representing 28 companies visited the event, including converters such as Pago, Stralfors, CCL, Clondalkin Group and Denny Bros.

The event saw a number of suppliers to the booklet label market showcasing working machinery, while GPS launched the Prati Vegaplus for offline booklet label production.

Also on display were a Gidue 8-color Combat press printing base labels and booklet materials and a Prati Saturn rewinder with Atlantic Zeiser UV inkjet heads and UV Braillejet heads – the latter of which were first shown at drupa earlier in the year. Another Prati Saturn rewinder was fitted with a BST Shark video inspection system, while a GM automatic core cutter and a GUK sheeter folder were also showcased.

Keith Robson, managing director of GPS, said: 'We have had a fantastic response to the show and are busy following up enquiries with quotes and further private customer trials. We are even dealing with enquiries from customers who could not attend the show due to circumstances beyond their control, but who have since heard what they missed.'
