Edale to co-exhibit with Canon USA at Labelexpo Americas 2024

Monday 19. August 2024 - The event, taking place September 10-12 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Chicago, IL, will see Edale, a Canon company, sharing insight on its cutting-edge flexographic solutions for label and carton production.

Edale, the British manufacturer of tailor-made flexographic presses for the carton and label sectors, will be exhibiting at Labelexpo Americas 2024 alongside Canon USA.
Visitors to Canon USA’s showstopping booth, #5803 in Hall F, will 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 in-line embellishments and traditional flatbed finishing alongside high levels of process automation. Another standout product highlight is Edale’s FL3 Flexographic Label Press, engineered with advanced automation designed to reduce waste and minimise the need for highly skilled operators. With its high productivity and customisable setup, the FL3 delivers premium quality label production, making it an ideal choice for efficient and top-tier label manufacturing.
Darren Pickford, Sales Director at Edale, commented: “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 customise 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, added: “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, our FL3’s high productivity and customisable setup make it the perfect solution for efficient and high-end label production. On the booth, we’ll be booking in demos of the latest Edale technology, certainly not to be missed. We’re excited to engage with expo visitors to share how our flexo-focused technology can help converters ‘spring into action’ and capture new market segments.”
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.
These features make Edale’s solutions particularly attractive to converters looking to expand their capabilities and improve their sustainability credentials through material innovation and waste reduction.
The Edale team will be available at the Canon booth to discuss specific customer needs and share perspectives on how customisable flexo press solutions can address today’s unique production challenges. Edale will also be arranging demonstrations of its automated press technology for Labelexpo Americas 2024 visitors.
