Self-adhesive label manufacturer Prakash Labels has ordered an Edale FL3 flexographic press.

The India-based company will use the machine, due to be installed later this year, for labels with cold foil, unsupported films and also some board materials for pharmaceutical industries.

The machine is a fully automated, 10 colour FL3 430mm-wide with a label and film pack. It also features Edale’s AiiR technology with an autonomous print register control system, which includes automatic register set up and continuous register monitoring in X and Y directions.

‘Edale is very pleased and excited to receive this order from Prakash Labels,’ said sales and marketing director Darren Pickford. ‘We were up against some strong competition and Prakash’s Labels testing procedures were very demanding, so this was a true vindication on the FL3 performance and also the dedication from Edale’s staff in satisfying Prakash during the full and thorough testing.’

Prakash director Dinesh Mahajan commented, ‘After visiting the Edale factory we were extremely impressed by the machine capabilities and the fact we could run various substrates with ease. The Edale team were very professional and worked hard to suit all our requirements.’

The two companies were first introduced by Edale’s agent Printer Supplies.
