The new solutions aim to empower converters of all sizes and market focuses to scale efficiently, adapt to shifting demands, and remain competitive in a rapidly evolving industry.

The digital label printing market, projected to exceed $20 billion over the next decade, is a key driver of innovation in the packaging and print sectors. HEIDELBERG and Gallus’ joint presence at Labelexpo reflects their strategic commitment to leveraging this growth by showcasing technologies and end-to-end solutions that enhance efficiency, productivity, and quality.

At the booth, visitors will explore how Gallus’ System to Compose concept, combined with new and existing innovations, enables converters to futureproof their operations. The modular solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly within Gallus’ ecosystem and alongside complementary partner technologies, fostering a connected, end-to-end print production line. This collaborative approach underscores HEIDELBERG and Gallus’ commitment to advancing the entire industry through shared vision and purpose.

The booth will feature a unified lineup of technologies, including:

  • Sheetfed offset innovations for efficient production of wet glue and in-mold labels
  • HEIDELBERG Prinect for streamlined workflows

Driving Industry Transformation Through Collaboration

Dario Urbinati, CEO of Gallus Group, emphasizes the importance of collaboration in driving industry transformation. He notes that Labelexpo serves as an inspiring platform where innovation and partnership converge, fostering new ideas and opportunities. By working closely with industry leaders and listening to customer needs, Gallus is breaking down barriers to digital adoption and enabling converters to embrace a smart, connected future.

Recent innovations, such as the Gallus MatteJet technology for the Gallus One, illustrate this commitment. Launched earlier this year, MatteJet enables in-line digital label production with a high-end matte finish, already receiving strong market interest. This follows other milestones like the Gallus One and the ongoing evolution of the System to Compose modular platform. Together, these advancements reflect Gallus’ focus on solving customer challenges and supporting the long-term transformation of the label printing industry.

Looking Ahead

HEIDELBERG and Gallus invite visitors to their booth at Labelexpo to explore the latest solutions and discover the potential of collaborative innovation. As Urbinati concludes, “We’re solving challenges together and inviting the industry to explore what’s possible.” The show represents not just a platform for new product launches, but a testament to the power of partnership in reshaping the future of label printing.
