Edale installs FL-3 at Hit Kody Kreskowe

Polish company Hit Kody Kreskowe has purchased a 6-color, full UV FL-3 flexographic printing press from UK manufacturer Edale in order to increase productivity and print quality, and reduce waste.

Hit Kody Kreskowe is the first in Poland to install an FL-3

The Edale FL-3 flexographic printing machine features the ability to fully set-up the press in under 10 minutes, the ability to carry out a full color changed in under 70 seconds, waste of less than 20m and print quality that matches offset.

Based in Suchy-Las, Hit Kody Kreskowe recently celebrated 20 years in business, and was looking for a machine that would increase productivity and print quality, and also reduce waste dramatically. It already operates an Edale FL-1 printing press, purchased in 2006. Hit Kody Kreskowe is the first in Poland to install an FL-3.

Jedrzej Iglewski, board member of Hit Kody Kreskowe, said: ‘After visiting Edale at Labelexpo Europe 2013 and seeing the FL-3 produce six different jobs with fast changeover from unsupported film to labels and back, with only a few metres waste each time, we knew this was the machine for us.’

Iglewski added: ‘Our existing FL-1 has been running successfully for years without problem so we trusted a proven supplier in Edale.’

Bernhard Grob, sales export director at Edale, noted: ‘This first Polish FL-3 installation is very important to Edale, demonstrating to our many existing Polish customers our commitment to designing new and innovative products that are more efficient that current methods or equivalent technologies.’
