Edale unveils new four-press line-up

Edale, a Canon company and leader in flexographic printing and converting today announces the refresh that it will be making to its range of label and folding carton presses, to further align its offering with Canon's portfolio.
 
The refreshed models also adopt a cohesive industrial design that reflects Canon's sleek, modern aesthetic, helping customers instantly recognise the platform, tier and intended use.
 
The news, which was teased to the industry ahead of September's LabelEXPO, will see new names for Edale's existing range,  the Edale LabelLine FL4e and LabelLine FL4p for labels, and Edale CartonLine FL6p and CartonLine FL7p for folding cartons.  

 Lachlan Buirds, managing director at Edale, said: 'This is about clarity and capability. With LabelLine FL4e and FL4p, and CartonLine FL6p and FL7p, customers can quickly identify the press that fits their reality today; our essential range for dependable day-to-day production, or precision, for when they're scaling into premium applications, higher volumes and added automation.
 
'We've aligned the look and feel of the machines with those of Canon, and we've simplified the story so buyers can navigate requirements with confidence. And under the skin, it's the same Edale engineering with single-pass efficiency, HD flexo quality and intelligent automation, that helps converters do more with less.'
 
The Edale LabelLine FL4e is a compact, operator-friendly, 430mm narrow-web label press for everyday production, suitable for short-to-medium runs with fast changeovers, low waste, and a low learning curve. The Edale LabelLine FL4p is a high-capability 430–570 mm label press with advanced registration control, optional in-line embellishment, and modular upgrades for premium labels at speed.
 
The Edale CartonLine FL6p is a 600–650 mm single-pass folding carton press that integrates print, varnish, embellishment, die-cutting and stripping in-line to reduce WIP, cut lead times and free up floor space. And the Edale CartonLine FL7p is a 760–1000 mm platform for larger-format or higher-volume carton work, combining single-pass efficiency with premium embellishment compatibility and modular growth.
 
However, Edale's hallmark technologies remain, while CartonLine configurations can be specified to run both carton and label work, allowing businesses to use a single line to support both applications.
