Close to Perfection

ASL used a Gallus RCS 330 12-station press and Kodak NX plates to print the labels; Fasson silver metalized paper; and Sun Chemical, Water Ink Technologies, and Actega inks and coatings. ASL printed each label in one pass. "Typically a label with special-effect print might require an offline process to achieve, as an example, an embossed look," said Daly. "With the Gallus technology we are able to add an embossed look, effect varnishes, and other special treatments all in one pass."
