Macaran Printed Products, a third-generation supplier of labels and packaging, has announced it has made a significant capital investment in a new press. Specifically, Macaran is set to take delivery of a 17”, 14-color Gallus LabelMaster combination press. This investment adds tremendous new capabilities and allows Macaran to create significant operating efficiencies, all while continuing to deliver on one of their core operating tenants - “creativity without compromise”.

“Macaran is proud to call some of the top consumer brands in the world our customers, and we have always put their complete satisfaction at the top of our priority list,” says Nick VanAlstine, CEO of Macaran Printed Products. “Our customers were demanding more, and we listened. With this significant investment in new equipment, we’re able to offer them a wider range of capabilities, while also improving quality and decreasing lead time,” he added.

The new Gallus Labelmaster press is 17” wide with 14 color stations. It is perfectly suited to print a variety of labels using a combination of technologies including rotary screen, flexo, cold foil, lamination and two-sided printing.

Macaran’s Vice President of Operations Nick Noyes worked closely with the team at Gallus to custom configure the new press to meet their very specific requirements. “Given Macaran’s expertise in the narrow web beverage, spirits, beer, food and health & beauty markets, we are confident the Gallus Labelmaster press platform we have delivered will meet their needs, now and well into the future,” says Andre Blais, National Account Manager & Gallus Account Specialist, Heidelberg.

The new Gallus Labelmaster press will be operational Q1 2022.
