Mandruzzato installs Gallus TCS250 for wine labels

A new Gallus TCS 250 has been installed by Tipografia Mandruzzato in Vò in the Italian province of Padua, primarily for wine label production.

This is the second press of its type for Tipografia Mandruzzato and its partners Claudio Mandruzzato and Adriano, Luca and Marco Galante. The company, which was founded in 1983 and has a workforce of 15, services customers from the local region.

As its wine industry customers moved from paper and glue labels to self-adhesive labels, Tipografia Mandruzzato took the decision three years ago to purchase its first Gallus TCS 250, in an investment of one million euros. This Gallus press was equipped with five offset printing units, a hot foil stamping unit, a flexographic varnishing unit, and a dry relief and flatbed diecutting unit. Typical run lengths are 5,000-20,000 labels complete with varying degrees of finishing.

Over the last three years, Tipografia Mandruzzato has seen growing demand for wine labels produced by screen printing with a high ink coat weight. Its second Gallus TCS 250 is therefore configured with a screen printing unit – mainly for opaque white - followed by four offset printing units, a hot foil stamping unit, a flexographic printing unit, a further screen printing unit and a flatbed diecutter.
