HEIDELBERG and Gallus to Unveil Next-Gen Label Solutions at Labelexpo Europe 2025

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 8, 2025 – At Labelexpo Europe 2025 in Barcelona, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (HEIDELBERG) and Gallus will jointly present a new generation of solutions that aim to redefine smart, connected printing—delivering critical performance and flexibility for label converters operating in a fast-changing market.

With demand surging for shorter runs, rapid turnarounds, and scalable digital production, converters face mounting pressures on profitability and responsiveness. In response, HEIDELBERG and Gallus are set to unveil two new machine solutions at Booth 3E23–3E29, expanding their already comprehensive portfolio across all market segments and application areas. These launches extend Gallus’ System to Compose concept and enhance converter agility across the production chain.

Strategic Focus on the Expanding Digital Label Market

The digital label printing market is expected to grow to over $20 billion in the next ten years*, positioning it as a central driver of innovation and growth within the packaging and print sectors. For HEIDELBERG and Gallus, this trend forms a key pillar of their strategy.

HEIDELBERG and Gallus’s joint presence at Labelexpo underscores the strategic importance of label printing within the group,” says Dr. David Schmedding, Chief Technology & Sales Officer at HEIDELBERG. “As a total solution provider and systems integrator of both digital and conventional solutions, we are ideally positioned to address evolving market trends and meet diverse customer needs across all segments. Our customers benefit from a seamlessly integrated ecosystem that delivers end-to-end solutions focused on maximum efficiency, productivity, and quality – and Labelexpo provides the ideal platform to share this vision and strengthen our growing global network.

In addition to digital innovations, HEIDELBERG will also highlight its latest sheetfed offset solutions for the efficient production of wet glue and in-mold labels, demonstrating its holistic approach across conventional and digital workflows.

Modular Innovation with Industry-Wide Impact

Visitors will experience how Gallus’ modular technologies, supported by the System to Compose platform, seamlessly integrate within the Gallus ecosystem and with complementary partner technologies. This design philosophy reinforces a commitment to openness, collaboration, and futureproofing.

Together with the continued strength of our partnership with HEIDELBERG and a growing network of partners and collaborators, we’re looking forward to a successful event in Barcelona, where Labelexpo’s dynamic new home will no doubt inspire new thinking, fresh momentum, and exciting opportunities,” says Dario Urbinati, CEO Gallus Group. “Labelexpo has always been an inspiring world stage where innovation and collaboration come together, serving as a reminder that real, meaningful industry transformation doesn’t happen in isolation. Success in this industry requires collaboration across the value chain, and the more expertise, ideas, and ambition we bring together, the greater the opportunities for everyone to thrive.

The booth will feature a unified showcase, including HEIDELBERG Prinect, Gallus Screeny, Gallus Services, and Gallus Classics—together representing the full breadth of HEIDELBERG and Gallus’ commitment to ecosystem integration.

Continued Innovation and Customer-Led Development

Gallus’ latest developments build on earlier innovations like the Gallus One and the modular System to Compose platform. A recent standout is Gallus MatteJet, introduced earlier this year for high-end matte digital labels and developed at the Gallus Experience Center.

The latest innovations and strategic partnerships we’re unveiling at this year’s event demonstrate how Gallus is steadily removing barriers to digital adoption, growth, and lasting success,” he continues. “Through close collaboration with industry leaders and by truly listening to our customers, we’re turning our vision of a smart, connected print future into a tangible reality – empowering converters to confidently embrace what lies ahead and reshape their trajectory for greater success.

Gallus’ technology roadmap signals a long-term dedication to helping converters adapt to shifting demands while improving ROI through smarter, integrated production systems.

We’re really looking forward to welcoming visitors to the joint HEIDELBERG and Gallus booth at Labelexpo – not only to reveal our latest solutions, but to invite the industry to explore what’s possible when we solve challenges together.
