Kingfisher Labels invest in another Edale

The FL-1 is Edale’s compact flexographic printing press, capable of converting a wide variety of labels and ticketing substrates. It has a short web path and a compact design of 2.5 sq m, offers quick job change through ease of access and is available with an extensive range of options.

Edale simplified its press portfolio at the end of 2013, rebranding the Alpha compact press as the FL-1.

UK-based and family owned Kingfisher Labels has over 40 years of knowledge and experience specializing in the manufacturing of plain and printed labels. The new press purchase has allowed the company to streamline its production process, supporting the company’s lean initiatives. 

Kingfisher Labels installed its first Edale press in 2001 and now operates four Edale flexo presses.

Martin Jackson, director of Kingfisher Labels, said: ‘The new flexographic press compliments the sites other existing Edale press including the first FL-1 multi machine produced.

‘The additional capacity will allow the site to produce a greater volume and range of products, it will also help strengthen the quality and service levels we deliver to our customer.

‘Edale was the obvious choice when looking to invest in our next flexographic printing press. We knew we could trust not only the quality of machine but their customer service and support.’
