WHY THIS GALLUS T 180?

✔ Combination of Screen and Letterpress Printing
The machine combines three screen-printing units with one letterpress printing unit. Screen printing is particularly suitable for strong colour coverage, high-opacity white, tactile ink layers and special-effect applications. The letterpress unit complements this with sharp text, fine lines and precise detail reproduction.

✔ Premium Decorative Finishing
The integrated hot-foil stamping and embossing equipment enables high-value decorative and tactile effects to be applied directly within the machine.

Typical applications include:

• Wine and spirits labels
• Cosmetic labels
• Pharmaceutical labels
• Luxury product labels
• Promotional and specialty applications

✔ High-Opacity Screen Printing
The three screen-printing units provide excellent ink coverage and allow thicker ink layers than conventional printing processes. This represents a significant advantage for opaque whites, solid colours, tactile effects, security inks and specialty coatings.

✔ Inline Varnishing
The letterpress unit can also be used for varnishing applications. Labels can therefore be printed, protected and visually enhanced within one continuous production process.

✔ Hot-Foil Stamping and Embossing
The combination of metallic foil effects and raised or recessed embossing adds considerable value to the finished product. These finishing processes are especially important for premium labels where appearance and tactile quality are key selling points.

✔ Flatbed Die-Cutting
The flatbed die-cutting unit provides accurate and reliable processing of a wide range of label shapes and materials. It is particularly suitable for specialty formats and demanding converting applications.

✔ Production of Finished Rolls
A significant advantage is the possibility of producing finished rolls directly within the machine. Unwinding, printing, varnishing, decorative finishing, die-cutting and rewinding can be completed in one production line.

✔ Proven Gallus Construction
Gallus machines are internationally recognised for their robust mechanical construction, production reliability and long service life. The GALLUS T 180 remains an interesting production platform for specialist label manufacturers requiring screen printing and premium finishing capabilities.
