TPL Labels, the East Kilbride based label printer, ordered an 8 colour Gallus press on the last day of Labelexpo Europe. The firm will install the Gallus ECS 340 press in January 2012 as part of an on-going major investment programme that will aid the company in its expansion plans within the industrial, automotive, healthcare, food and drink markets. The Gallus ECS 340 is a short web path, fully servo-driven, multi-pass flexo and cold foiling machine with front loading dies, print and anilox sleeves.
The new Gallus press will join this family-owned business’s existing range of flexo presses and will add a significant increase in capacity for the production of labels and short-run flexible packaging such as filmic wrappers and small cartons. The company will also be adding digital printing to its existing processes shortly.
