Gallus Group, a subsidiary of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG and a global leader in label printing technology, has announced that Italian label specialist, Artes Elichette, has expanded its digital printing capabilities by acquiring the first high-performance hybrid press, the Gallus Five, worldwide.

The new system is already enabling Artes to migrate a significant portion of its conventional workload over to digital, saving setup time and materials and simplifying production, according to Gallus. The new installation builds on nearly five decades of experience Artes has with Gallus machinery.
