Edale, a Canon company, announced a refreshed portfolio of flexographic label and folding carton presses, aligning its product range more closely with Canon’s broader industrial print offering. The update introduces a clearer structure, new model names, and a unified industrial design that reflects Canon’s modern aesthetic, helping customers quickly identify platform capability and intended application.

Under the refreshed line-up, Edale’s portfolio now comprises four presses: the Edale LabelLine FL4e and LabelLine FL4p for label production, and the Edale CartonLine FL6p and CartonLine FL7p for folding cartons. The company has also introduced two clearly defined performance tiers. The Essential tier is aimed at dependable day-to-day production and operational agility, while the Precision tier targets premium applications, higher volumes, and advanced automation requirements.

According to Edale managing director Lachlan Buirds, the refresh is designed to bring clarity and confidence to purchasing decisions. He said customers can now more easily match press capability to current and future needs, whether for reliable everyday work or scaling into higher-value applications. While the look and naming have changed, Buirds stressed that the core remains Edale engineering, including single-pass efficiency, HD flexo quality, and intelligent automation designed to help converters do more with less.

The LabelLine FL4e is positioned as a compact, operator-friendly 430 mm narrow-web press for short- to medium-run label work, offering fast changeovers and low waste. The LabelLine FL4p expands capability with a 430–570 mm web width, enhanced registration control, optional inline embellishment, and modular upgrades for premium label production. On the carton side, the CartonLine FL6p delivers a 600–650 mm single-pass platform integrating printing, varnishing, embellishment, die-cutting, and stripping inline, while the CartonLine FL7p extends the format to 760–1000 mm for larger or higher-volume carton applications.

Across the refreshed range, Edale’s hallmark technologies remain in place, with additional flexibility allowing certain CartonLine configurations to handle both carton and label work on a single line. The updated portfolio underscores Edale’s strategy to simplify choice, support scalability, and strengthen its alignment with Canon’s industrial print ecosystem.
