Gallus has developed a new foldable inkset, intended to allow converters to target an ‘important new and profitable revenue stream’.
UVF01 are inks that can be folded without cracking, making them suited for folding carton packaging applications and laminate tubes, as commonly used in cosmetics.
The UVF01 inkset has been designed for use on the company’s market leading hybrid press, the Gallus Labelfire 340. It enables converters to offer all the benefits of digital print – namely short runs, versioning and personalisation, reduced waste and storage – to packaging and cosmetic applications.
Thomas Schweizer, head of business management at Gallus, commented, ‘The inks were designed to meet the requirements of tube manufacturers, providing a cost-effective, high-quality UV inkset with a wide colour gamut and the durability to support foldable packaging and tube laminates. Not only does this support business growth for converters, but it also unlocks huge opportunities for brands to explore new packaging designs, and tactics to better engage the consumer and increase sales.’
UVF01 will be presented by Gallus at interpack 2023, as part of parent company Heidelberg’s participation at the event. Gallus also shows samples from its recently launched digital press, Gallus One. Gallus has also identified its plans for the next 12 months as the company gets set to mark its centenary in business.
