Gallus And HEIDELBERG Showcase Integrated Label Technology Solutions In India

India's national packaging sector is projected to expand from approximately US $12 billion to US $20 billion by 2030, driven by urbanization and rising consumption within pharmaceutical, food, beverage, and e-commerce segments. To address this demand, Gallus and HEIDELBERG are reinforcing their presence at LOUPE India 2026, held from 29 October to 1 November 2026 at the India Expo Centre & Mart in Greater Noida, Delhi NCR (Booth K14). The exhibition marks the first joint regional appearance since 2012, emphasizing localized support, expanded sales networks, and integrated workflows for Indian converters.

Technical Innovation In Rotary Screen Printing
A primary technical exhibit at the event is the Gallus Screeny Printing Unit, making its regional debut. Engineered as a compact, independent module compatible with various press manufacturers, the unit achieves mechanical speeds up to 120 meters per minute. This specification allows converters to apply high-opacity colors and intricate fine details onto narrow-web label substrates. The modular architecture facilitates cross-brand integration, enabling print operations to retrofit existing machinery without replacing entire production lines.

Integrated Ecosystem For Packaging Workflows
The partnership combines conventional, hybrid, and digital printing platforms with integrated software, consumables, and lifecycle services. By functioning as a system integrator, HEIDELBERG and Gallus provide localized training and technical support designed to minimize operational complexity. This unified approach assists regional converters in maintaining high-speed output while meeting strict cost-control and quality requirements across pressure-sensitive labels, shrink sleeves, pouches, and light carton packaging.

This section details technical specifications and competitive benchmarking not included in the original product announcement

The narrow-web rotary screen printing segment features established competitor systems such as the Stork Prints (SPGPrints) RSI (Rotary Screen Integration) units and AB Graphic International modular converting lines. Benchmarked against standard rotary screen modules operating at typical narrow-web speeds of 80 to 100 meters per minute, the Gallus Screeny unit achieves a higher threshold of 120 meters per minute. Furthermore, its open-interface architecture supports direct retrofitting across non-proprietary press configurations, reducing mechanical downtime during integration compared to closed-system alternatives.
