A six colour, full UV Edale FL-3 label and flexible packaging press with an array of additional options, to produce labels and thermo tickets, has been installed at odd GmbH, Germany. 

The company opted for additional features on its machine including a turn bar, cold foil station and fan folding delivery option, as well as a rail mounted personalisation system inkjet platform to mount its existing Domino inkjet heads.

Alexander Hassinger, technical director, said, ‘We chose to work with Edale because we believe the FL-3 machine is a smart solution for our requirements; excellent British technology, good service and a friendly team of people. The machine is highly versatile and we can upgrade it with various options if the need arises in the future.’ 

After the installation was completed and production begun, odd held an open day where customers, suppliers and industry friends were invited to view the new press. Bernhard Grob, Edale’s export sales director, was in attendance, alongside the company’s newly signed German agent, Porter Pac. 

‘To have our newest machine, the FL-3 installed into such a reputable organisation is great; the fact that we are able to use their site for potential customer visits to see an FL-3 in Germany is also a bonus. We look forward to continuing our working relationship with the team at odd,’ said Mr Grob.
