The number of participants and the positive feedback speak for the new event format. With more than 1500 registrations the Gallus High Performance Day 2021 on the 3rd and 4th of March 2021 was a huge success. Using this new digital event format, Gallus demonstrated the highlights of digital and conventional label printing systems. In addition, expert talks informed about different topics like digital label printing with low migration inks.
Regarding digital printing the advantages of the Gallus Labelfire including the most relevant technical features were shown in detail. The print result was a digitally printed, highly embellished label with metallic effect, also applied digitally due to the Digital Embellishment Unit (DEU).

The conventional stream showed as first machine the flagship Gallus RCS 430 printing the highly embellished “Game-Changer”-label

Regarding conventional narrow web printing the Gallus Labelmaster was demonstrated as well as the Gallus RCS 430. Participants of the virtual event could follow the production of a shampoo label on clear PP material on the Gallus Labelmaster with integrated Digital Printbar “White Edition”. With this digital module it is possible to digitally print an opaque white or to integrate language changes on different spots of a label. After this demo the “Game-Changer”-label proved that the Gallus RCS 430 – in this case with integrated hot foil embossing unit Pantec Rhino – is able to convince with a variety of processes and various applications. The Gallus RCS further offers a fast and easy set up process.
