As a key part of System to Compose modularity concept,<\/strong> Gallus One is already known for its versatility and now print businesses will have even more options at their fingertips.\u00a0 The entire concept System to Compose is built around flexibility and agility, ensuring \u00a0the highest level of investment security, including also workflow solutions, in-house developed high-performance inks and modular service options. \u201cTogether with Actega, new possibilities open up by including Ecoleaf\u2019s on-demand metallization technology within this configuration, which sets a new standard for metallic embellishment<\/strong>\u201d, says Dario. The Gallus One is celebrated for its ability to adapt and scale to evolving market demands, and now with Ecoleaf printers can adjust their setup as business needs or market trends change – adding, removing, or replacing units when required, or pivoting to new high-value applications where embellishment and metallization provide an important competitive edge, unlocking creative potential. Harald adds that \u201cActega\u2019s premium coatings portfolio deliver both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits suited for many applications, including shrink sleeves and pressure-sensitive labels to create standout designs that are both practical and memorable; our heat-resistant coatings can provide durability under high temperatures, demonstrating how specialized coatings are tailored to meet unique performance needs\u201d. Additionally, Actega\u2019s regulatory expertise supports the industry\u2019s need to meet strict global and regional standards for safety and compliance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to embrace the power of partnership
\n<\/strong>Collaboration within the industry is essential. The complexities of modern label production require the combined expertise of industry leaders to create solutions that effectively address market challenges. Together, Gallus One and Ecoleaf<\/strong> offer a powerful solution that maximizes production capabilities, elevates service provision through a seamless, unified approach, and delivers greater efficiency, impact and an exceptional value.<\/p>\n

Dario underlines that \u201cthis collaboration represents a significant step towards building a smart, connected print landscape that ensures long-term success for the industry. Together, we\u2019re working to meet the evolving needs of the label market\u201d. Actega and Gallus are deeply committed to driving continuous innovation and expanding the capabilities available to the market. They will continue to explore new opportunities for collaboration, ensuring that our solutions remain at the forefront of industry advancements to offer even more digital possibilities.<\/p>\n

Sustainable metallization and unmatched design flexibility<\/strong><\/p>\n

Traditional methods generate significant waste, leaving brands to choose between impactful metallic finishes or sustainability, \u201con the contrary Ecoleaf reinvents the metallization process by using on-demand metallization, which minimizes waste while delivering a highly reflective and impactful metallic effect<\/strong>. This technology precisely places metal flakes only where they are needed, eliminating the need for PET carrier films and foil reels, minimizing the environmental impact associated with producing and disposing of these plastics\u201d, explains Harald. Also versatility is an important feature of the process to push the boundaries of design and functionality: it enables both flat and relief embellishments while allowing overprinting in any color to achieve stunning metallic effects that are perfectly matched to existing brand colors. \u201cEcoleaf integrates seamlessly into various printing processes, and when added to a digital workflow, such as the Gallus One, Ecoleaf supports quick artwork changes, allowing for the printing of different Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) and jobs side by side with ease\u201d, adds Harald.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cBy combining Ecoleaf\u2019s on-demand metallization with the highly adaptable Gallus One platform, converters gain more than just a new capability: they get a scalable, modular system that breaks down barriers to entry, maximizes short-run profitability, and evolves alongside their business. In a landscape defined by constant change\u201d, says Dario.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
