The 10-color conventional printing press is a modular production line for narrow web products, equipped with ten flexo units that can be used for color printing, cold-foil or varnishing. 

‘Because of our very good experience with the first Gallus Labelmaster, installed at All4Labels Schweiz in October 2016, we decided for this modular label press at our production site in Lübbecke. Due to short set up times and the high printing speeds of our new conventional printing press, we were able to increase our overall productivity significantly,” said Matthias Michel, plant manager at All4Labels Lübbecke. 

Labelmaster Advanced offers printing speeds up to 200 m/min, a printing width of 440mm and is suitable for running a broad range of substrates. 

‘A further benefit of the Labelmaster we see in the ecological side: we save an impressive amount of production waste due to the short web path of only 1.4 meters between printing cylinders. This means that we now have less waste, subsequently lowered our costs for substrates as well as for waste disposal,” added Michel.
