New York Label & Box invests in third Edale press

Edale has secured its first machine sale through Canon USA, with New York Label & Box Works investing in a LabelLine FL4p flexographic press.

The sale marks a step in Edale’s expansion in the US label and packaging market and establishes a new sales route through Canon USA. The FL4p will be the third Edale press installed by New York Label & Box Works, building on the existing relationship between the two companies.

The sale follows LOUPE Americas 2026, held in Chicago from 15 to 17 September, where Edale demonstrated the FL4p live on the Canon stand as part of Canon’s label and packaging portfolio.

For New York Label & Box Works, the investment adds to its existing Edale press capacity. The FL4p is designed to support short-run flexo label production through automation intended to reduce job changeover times and material waste. Its modular design also allows production capabilities to be adapted as requirements change.

Steve Haedrich, CEO of New York Label & Box Works, said: “We already know Edale and have experience of its presses in our production environment, which gave us confidence in making another investment. The FL4p gives us a platform designed to make short-run production more efficient while providing the flexibility we need as customer requirements change.”

He added: “Canon USA’s involvement was also important to the process. Having that local relationship and support around the technology gives us further confidence in the investment.”

Rob Brown, sales and marketing director at Edale, said: “Securing our first machine sale through Canon USA is an important commercial milestone for Edale. It is especially significant that it comes from New York Label & Box Works, which is now investing in a third Edale press.

“That repeat investment gives us a strong proof point from a customer that already knows how Edale equipment performs in production. Canon USA’s involvement also demonstrates the potential of bringing our specialist flexographic expertise together with its commercial reach and local customer support in the US.”
