The Gallus UVF01 ink set has been designed for use on the company’s market-leading hybrid press, the Gallus Labelfire 340.

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.”
