Mega Label Malaysia has invested in a new Gallus ECS machine system, the company’s second such press, for print quality, Gallus Service Support and the option to use UV-LED curing.
The UV-LED flexo label printing press includes ten flexo printing units, two interchangeable Gallus Screen units, movable cold-foil unit, Infrared (IR) dryer for water-based inks and an automatic register control for handling critical substrates. The machine system is fitted with auto splicer at the unwinding and rewinding units. Mega Label is able to print either with LED or conventional UV with this machine configuration. This new Gallus ECS 340 is used for the production of self-adhesive labels, shrink sleeves, wrap-around labels and further narrow web applications.
‘Key reason for this investment for us at Mega Label was the high quality of Gallus service support and the print quality of the label press,’ explained Edmund Chan, group general manager at Mega Label. ‘A good machine performance comes from a good after sales service. The Gallus ECS 340 has it all: great precision of the machine and thus, reliably very good print results coming along with a great Gallus Service Support. The planning and the execution of the installation was very good and impressed me a lot!’
As label printer Mega Label knows very well that reliability in high print quality and a smooth production process are indispensable to be successful in the market in the long term. ‘In order for us to be successful we need to make sure that the machine is performing to our standard. This second Gallus ECS 340 with its high standard regarding print quality, stability and service proves once again, that trust in Gallus and our long term partnership,’ stated Mr Chan.
‘We are a leading company in the environmental protection in Malaysia. With the installation of the LED curing system we can ensure the reduction in the carbon footprint, our factory is also partially powered by solar,’, explained Mr Chan. The Gallus ECS 340 is a quiet, user-friendly and exceptionally cost-effective printing press for commodity labels with a very short web path and a running speed up to 165m/min. High flexibility regarding substrates and minimal setup times due to full servo-drive integration are just two reasons that the Gallus ECS 340 is the best-selling machine system in its class with short web path.
