Live demonstrations

Session Summary:

At Labelexpo 2025, Stand 4D26, Gietz showcases a premium spirit label, in multi stroke approach with precise fine lining and deep embossing textures on an exquisite matt black paper, named “Gietz Vodka”.

The label design highlights the capabilities of the Gietz ROFO 450 ECO hot foil stamping unit – the core model for high-end narrow-web embellishment processes: outstanding precision, efficiency, and a large stamping surface. The label design features a precise line pattern of horizontal and diagonal lines that meet at an exact intersection on the left and right. Two foil colors are used in the first two strokes. In the third stroke, the lettering “GIETZ” is highlighted with a prismatic relief, while the letters of “VODKA” receive individual texture embossing. The fourth stroke refines the back label with blind embossing. The design is rounded off by a fitted necktie label.

This demo job was realized in collaboration with the following partners:
• Leonhard Kurz Stiftung & Co. KG
• Hinderer + Mühlich GmbH & Co. KG
• Avery Dennison
