Brazilian print shop Elloflex is enjoying higher production efficiency, reliable print quality and the ability to enter new markets after installing a Gallus Labelmaster.

The 8-colour flexo narrow web press is the first Gallus press for the label printer and converter.

The press includes eight flexo printing stations including cold-foil and a further unit for rotary screen. With a printing width of 440mm it is the first Gallus press for Elloflex and thus, the second Gallus Labelmaster for the Brazilian label and flexible package printing market.

‘We chose Gallus because it is a durable and stable running machine which guarantees reliable results which we can really achieve during daily production. Now, more than one year after the installation, we can say that we increased the efficiency of sleeve production and were able to conquer new markets thanks to this investment,’ said Rafael Polessi Rampazzo, commercial director at Elloflex.

Applications produced on the Gallus Labelmaster are mainly sleeves for the flexible packaging market, but also the whole range of narrow web applications can be produced on the conventional label press.
