The once known Gamma will become the FL-5 Carton or the FL-5 Flex Pack

As part of Edale’s on going aim to simplify its product offering the company has launched the FL range of machines.

The rename and rebrand of machinery makes it easier for people to decipher and differentiate between the different models in the range and more importantly the levels and abilities of each.

The formerly known Alpha compact press becomes the FL-1 with typical applications being self adhesive labels and tags of 50-250 microns. The recently re-launched next generation FL-3 remains the same with typical applications being labels, tickets and filmic packaging of 12-450 microns. The once known Gamma is currently undergoing various design enhancements and will, dependent on application type, become the FL-5 Carton or the FL-5 Flex Pack.

Louise Bailey, sales account manager, said, ‘We have grouped our range of flexographic printing presses into part of the ‘FL’ range, with the introduction of the FL-1 and FL-5 Carton and FL-5 Flex Pack to sit alongside the current FL-3. We believe this makes it easier for customers to understand the different levels and capabilities of each machine at a quick glance. It also gives us a clear path to name the next machines as and when they are launched, with the FL-7 being the next machine due to release in 2014.’
