Frank Hasselberg, Western regional sales manager for Gallus, Inc., has announced the sale of a new Gallus ECS 340 label printing press to Best Label, Inc., a label manufacturer headquartered in Cerritos, CA, USA. Best Label has been successful using seven older Gallus R- 160 rotary letterpresses machines to print labels, but this is the first Gallus ECS 340 the company has acquired.
Gary Ingle, operations manager at Best Label, comments, “The new press will handle silkscreening on wider web labels than we could previously make. We do a lot of business in the water bottles and cosmetics industries, where we lay down an opaque background on supported film then print with 4-color process. This new press will have three screen stations plus eight UV flexo stations, enhancing our ability to produce greater volumes of high quality labels for the consumer markets we serve.”
Continues Ingle, “The press’s granite base is a reflection of Gallus itself – solid as a rock! We are impressed with how smoothly and quietly it runs. The granite base also enhances stability. The self-contained, water-cooled impression cylinders are another feature we really like. And, of course, the press is completely servo driven, no gears to wear or slip.”
Best Label’s new press will also have two die stations, a cold foil unit and auto-register. Delivery is expected in December.
