Label Art Installs Gallus Hybrid Flexo Line

Describing the new skills required from press operatives as ‘less knob twirling and more button pushing’, Label Art claims the Gallus EM S is easy to learn and use. At the time of writing, the company’s operators were about to undergo their second Gallus training week, which would include the skills necessary to extend Label Art’s reach into the markets that use thin film substrates, for which the chill-roll equipped press is well suited. Currently producing around 60 percent of its labels on paper substrates, Label Art has its eyes on further success in the drinks market, where the Gallus EM 430 S can run top quality work at high speed, with good margins. Another market that has opened up is paint—where flexo’s new capacity for printing high quality vignettes, as well as the ability to lay a solid screen white, has given Molloy new ammunition.
