Gallus, a subsidiary of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG, said more than 5,000 visitors gathered information at the Heidelberg/Gallus stand during Labelexpo Europe 2019, which took place Sept. 24-27 in Brussels.

"We are more than satisfied with our exhibition at Labelexpo Europe 2019. With our live demonstrations, we were able to show our customers new ways to produce efficiently and successfully with Gallus in the age of digitization, and even gain in flexibility," said Christof Naier, GM, Label Business at Heidelberg/Gallus.

Interest was shown in the new Digital Printbar, an inkjet printing unit designed specifically for digital insetting of highly opaque white. With a print width of 430 mm (17"), the Digital Printbar uses inkjet-based digital printing technology and can be used flexibly as it can be moved across the entire length of the machine.

The new rotary front-load die-cutting unit was on display at the Gallus Labelmaster. With the Rotary Die-Cut Unit Quick, Heidelberg/Gallus showed the change of die-cutting formats in less than a minute live at the label show.

In addition to the premiere of the new Digital Printbar and the new Rotary Die-Cut Unit Quick at the Gallus Labelmaster, Labelexpo visitors were able to see the Gallus Labelfire with integrated Digital Embellishment Unit (DEU) live in action.

During Labelexpo Europe 2019, the 100th Gallus Labelmaster was sold.

“With our Labelexpo motto 'Powered by Your Trust' and the aim of giving our customers the greatest possible flexibility in every respect, we are still on the right path to act successfully on the market, now and in the future,” Naier said
