The flexographic printing house Králíček s.r.o. with about 40 employees has been concentrating on self-adhesive labels since the beginning, making them approximately 95% of the production. When moving the company into a new, modern building, the Gallus Labelmaster 340 machine was installed in Hlubočinka – Sulice near Prague in spring 2019 as the first installation of a Labelmaster in the Czech Republic ever. The configuration has a printing width of 340 mm and eight flexo printing units in total, including printing on glue, cold foil and a die-cutting unit. The new installation proves the company`s very good experience with Gallus machines.
Králíček started working with Gallus presses more than ten years ago with the Gallus EM 280 which is still reliably in production. Petr Králíček, the owner of the company KRÁLÍČEK s. r. o., is happy about the new Labelmaster installation: “The development of the jobs we process made us extend our equipment base. Thanks to good relationships and experience we decided for Gallus Labelmaster 340. We were attracted also because it was the first installation in the Czech Republic. The first machine we got from Gallus was the one that enabled us to get to a higher level of label printing.“
