NY Label & Box Works invests in Edale press

Edale, a Canon company and UK-based manufacturer of flexographic printing and converting equipment, has secured its first machine sale through Canon USA, with New York Label & Box Works investing in a LabelLine FL4p. The sale marks a milestone in Edale's expansion in the US label and packaging market.
 
The FL4p will be New York Label & Box Works’ third Edale press. The repeat investment builds on a longstanding relationship between the two businesses and establishes a new route to market for Edale through Canon USA.
The sale follows Loupe Americas 2026 in Chicago from September 15-17, where Edale demonstrated the FL4p live on the Canon stand as part of Canon’s wider label and packaging portfolio. It provides an early commercial example of how Edale’s flexographic technology can be combined with Canon USA’s local market presence and customer support.
 
For New York Label & Box Works, the investment adds further production capability to its existing Edale press base. The FL4p is designed to improve the economics of short-run flexographic label production, using automation to shorten job changeovers and reduce material waste. Its modular design also gives converters scope to adapt production capability as requirements change.
 
Steve Haedrich, CEO of New York Label & Box Works, said: 'We already know Edale and have experience with its presses in our production environment, which gave us confidence in making another investment. The FL4p gives us a platform designed to make short-run production more efficient while providing the flexibility we need as customer requirements change.
 
'Canon USA’s involvement was also important to the process. Having that local relationship and support around the technology gives us further confidence in the investment.'
 
Rob Brown, sales and marketing director at Edale, said: 'Securing our first machine sale through Canon USA is an important commercial milestone for Edale. It is especially significant that it comes from New York Label & Box Works, which is now investing in a third Edale press.
 
'That repeat investment gives us a strong proof point from a customer that already knows how Edale equipment performs in production. Canon USA’s involvement also demonstrates the potential of bringing our specialist flexographic expertise together with its commercial reach and local customer support in the US.'
 
Edale is continuing to work with Canon USA to give converters access to flexographic production technology backed by local support, with a focus on helping customers improve production performance and protect the long-term value of their investment.
