Greek label printer ETPA Packaging has installed a Gallus ECS 340 at its production site in Komotini, Northeastern Greece.
The company, headquartered in Athens, was founded in 1983 and has set its focus on self-adhesive labels, shrink sleeves and flexible materials. In order to broaden its spectrum and offer customers the best possibilities when selling labels, George Ekonomou, sales director at ETPA Packaging, decided to invest in a Gallus ECS 340. This machine consists of nine flexo printing stations and four screen printing modules and is further equipped with a cold foil unit, as well as the possibility of backside printing on glue, UV lamination for monofoil material and PS lamination.
Ekonomou believes the press offers incomparable flexibility, especially when printing silk screen jobs.
Being nearly twice as big as comparable companies, ETPA is now the most influential label converter in Greece. It is driving the label market and has a huge influence on the market when taking decisions. Furthermore, it is the only Greek company which is certified as worldwide supplier for well-known multinational companies. 120 qualified people are currently employed at ETPA and the number of new employments is constantly growing year by year. On top of that, the company is always investing in new technologies and new productive machines.
ETPA Packaging is running jobs for labels, sleeves and sachets on the ECS 340. “This is the first Gallus we bought, but we are more than happy to have invested in a Swiss quality product. The machine’s versatility is astonishing and the labels, the most important factor, of course, are of impressive quality," says Ekonomou.
Since its launch in 2009, the Gallus ECS 340 has been a top-selling label printing machine with short web path. More than 450 machines have been sold worldwide and provide daily support to Gallus customers in the label printing sector. The web feed and extremely short web path are decisive in delivering the excellent register performance of the Gallus ECS 340. This press produces complex diecuts at maximum speed and is able to print on almost any kind of substrate: paper, PE, PP and even tube laminate.
Additionally, the Gallus ECS 340 provides a new UV flexographic printing unit with even better performance.
