Canon to present expanding label and packaging press portfolio at LOUPE Americas

Canon U.S.A. will showcase an expanding portfolio of label and packaging printing technologies at LOUPE Americas 2026, taking place September 15-17 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL.

A key focus at Booth 6000 will be the LabelLine Series from Edale, a Canon company. The event will mark the first time Canon officially features Edale and its LabelLine platform as part of its broader print and packaging portfolio at a major U.S. industry event.

The modular LabelLine platform combines flexographic printing and converting and is designed to accommodate short-, medium- and long-run production. Canon says the integrated approach can reduce production touchpoints and manual intervention while providing greater flexibility as job requirements change.

“Converters need production platforms that can adapt as quickly as their customers’ requirements change,” says Lachlan Buirds, managing director, Edale. “The LabelLine FL4p brings flexographic printing and converting together in a highly integrated production platform, designed to help customers reduce production touchpoints and manual intervention, improve workflow efficiency, increase flexibility, and streamline short-run production.”

Canon will also provide an early look at two next-generation digital production technologies: the upcoming LabelStream LS2000 and corrPRESS iB17. Both technologies remain under development and are not currently available for sale.

The company’s exhibit will also include its Colorado M-series large-format printers for labels, packaging graphics and specialty applications, as well as the imagePROGRAF GP-2600S. Desktop label production will be represented by the LX-D400 4″ printer and LG-P800, which produces labels up to 8″ wide.

An applications gallery and packaging zone will demonstrate how technologies across the Canon portfolio can be combined for packaging production. A consumer gift-package demonstration will incorporate output produced using the Edale LabelLine and CartonLine, Colorado and imagePROGRAF printers, Canon desktop label printers and the imagePRESS V1350. Applications will include labels, cartons, mailers, point-of-purchase displays and package inserts.

“Label and packaging production continues to evolve as brands demand greater flexibility and faster turnaround times,” says Kiyoshi Oka, executive vice president and general manager, Marketing Strategy Unit, Canon U.S.A. “At LOUPE Americas 2026, Canon is proud to demonstrate a comprehensive portfolio that brings together digital print, finishing, and converting technologies.”

Canon will exhibit at LOUPE Americas in Booth 6000.
