Batsios Labels invests in first Gallus label press

Based in Thessaloniki, Batsios Labels invested in a Gallus ECS 340 press with eight flexo units and one screen printing unit, plus cold foil embossing. With a printing width of 340mm, the conventional label press is in use mainly for the printing and converting of self-adhesive labels. 

Besides increased productivity and broadening of substrate and color range, the Greek label converter reports that the investment is already paying off since its installation in May 2019.

‘For six months now we are getting each day more and more acquainted with the machine,’ said Andreas Nikoletsopoulos, business development manager at Batsios Labels. ‘We are delighted to see that our investment is already starting to pay off.’

Batsios Labels was established in 1989. With 20 employees and two printing presses, the company offers mainly self-adhesive labels. The reasons for the investment, according to Batsios Labels, are increased productivity through higher speed and quality as well as the ability to print more than six colors. Also, the range of substrates that the company can use is now wider, allowing it to begin printing on materials such as BOPP-PE synthetics. The result is that Batsios is now able to offer a greater range of applications to its customers. 

Nikoletsopoulos continued: ‘Everything runs smoothly and efficiently. We are happy with our new Gallus ESC 340 and we have already started looking for ways to add another Gallus machine to our company.’
