Edale, the British manufacturer of tailor-made flexographic presses for the carton and label sectors, is exhibiting at Labelexpo Americas 2024 alongside Canon USA. The event allows Edale, a Canon company, to share insight on its newest flexographic solutions for label and carton production.

Visitors to Canon USA’s booth have the opportunity to meet the Edale team and learn more about its highly automated flexographic presses, designed to meet the evolving needs of label and carton converters. 

Drawing on more than 75 years of industry experience, one highlight of the Edale range is the versatile FL5 Single-Pass Carton Production line, offering multiple inline embellishments and traditional flatbed finishing alongside high levels of process automation. Another product highlight is Edale’s FL3 flexographic label press, engineered with advanced automation designed to reduce waste and minimize the need for highly skilled operators. With its high productivity and customizable setup, the FL3 delivers premium quality label production, making it an ideal choice for efficient label manufacturing.

Darren Pickford, sales director at Edale, comments, “We’re thrilled to be invited to Labelexpo Americas 2024 alongside Canon USA, where the theme for this year’s event is ‘Spring into Action’ with a pinball motif. It’s fitting, as we know many packaging and label converters feel like they’re pinballing around the press market, trying to find the perfect solution. As ‘The Carton and Label Press People,’ we understand the challenges and pressures these companies are under. That’s why we customize our world-class press technology. Our customers don’t adapt to our class-leading machines, we build them to suit our customers’ specific needs. We’re here to help converters stop the pinball effect and find their ideal press solution.”

Maggie Reed, US sales manager at Edale, adds, “Labelexpo Americas is the perfect platform to meet with converters and illuminate how Edale’s flexographic press solutions for label and carton production complement Canon’s digital solutions. Our unique FL5 Single-Pass Carton Production line, for example, opens doors to the high-potential, sustainable carton market, providing new growth opportunities for businesses in the packaging industry.

For label makers seeking improved efficiencies and consistent print quality, the FL3’s high productivity and customizable setup make it the perfect solution for efficient and high-end label production. On the booth, the company is booking demos of the latest Edale technology. 

Edale’s presence at Labelexpo Americas 2024 underlines the company’s commitment to the North American market, and its ongoing collaboration with parent company Canon. The company’s flexographic presses offer a range of benefits, including enhanced productivity, reduced waste, and the versatility to handle a wide variety of substrates.
