Cambridgeshire-based Lattice Labels Limited, one of the larger label printers in the UK in terms of volume, is increasing capacity in order to fulfil incremental business with the purchase of a Gallus EM 410 label press. Installed in October 2012, the four colour press will enable the company to print up to 410 mm width and convert into rolls and various sized sheets.
Lattice Labels specialises in the production of pre-printed products that can be over-printed by its customers with their own variable information. Typical customer applications are barcodes and addresses so many of its trade customers are selling to logistics companies, large multiple retailers, etc.
‘Our customers’ variable print information is laid down by their own digital printers, which take either sheets or reels, so we needed a label press that can convert from both reel-to-reel and reel-to-sheet. Also, to have the capability of producing larger sheet sizes, such as A3 and SRA3, which are suitable for most digital printers, the Gallus EM 410 delivers on both of these requirements, so it’s really perfect for our needs,’ explained Chris Beadle, managing director.
The new label press will be the sixth Gallus machine for the company, but the only one with a 410 mm width capability.
‘The Gallus EM 410 is well designed and built to last. At Lattice Labels, we want to produce the best for our customers. In order to achieve this, we need the best suppliers and Gallus presses meet this requirement. Our other Gallus presses produce fanfold, roll and sheet labels, and over time have given us reliable and consistant service coupled with a high quality output. The new EM 410 will continue this trend but much more efficiently, our experience and knowledge made the choice simple,’ concluded Mr Beadle.
