ACTEGA and Gallus – Shaping the Future Together with ECOLEAF
The Future Needs Partnership
In an industry that is evolving rapidly, ACTEGA and Gallus are sending a strong signal for innovation, sustainability, and entrepreneurial foresight. Two years after the start of their successful collaboration, the two companies are now taking the next step: the integration of the ECOLEAF on-demand metallization technology into the modular Gallus One platform marks a milestone in digital label production.
In a recent interview, Dario Urbinati, CEO of the Gallus Group, and Harald Jasper, General Manager at ACTEGA Metal Print, provide exciting insights into their shared vision, the strategic importance of the Gallus Experience Center, and the concrete benefits for printers, converters, and brand owners.
Real, meaningful change doesn’t happen in isolation. Success in this industry requires collaboration across the value chain.

Rethinking Metallization: Resource-Efficient, Flexible, Future-Proof
ECOLEAF enables metallic effects without carrier or hot stamping foils – a real game-changer in terms of resource efficiency and design freedom. The technology applies metallic flakes only where they are actually needed, significantly reducing material usage and waste. Combined with the modular architecture of the Gallus One platform, it creates a flexible, scalable system that can dynamically adapt to market changes – ideal for short runs, frequent design changes, and customized packaging solutions.
A Highlight at Labelexpo Europe: Discover the synergy of both technologies through live demonstrations at the ACTEGA booth during Labelexpo. Visitors will also have the opportunity to see ACTEGA's coatings in action, applied to labels being printed live throughout the show. The Gallus booth will feature ACTEGA coatings in live production with their presses as well as numerous, stunning coated samples for visitors to study and take inspiration from.
Together, we deliver solutions that are not only technically convincing, but also economically and ecologically future-proof.
