Do you want to eliminate your work in progress, reduce number of operators, waste and power, and give an unrivalled delivery time to potential customers
The Edale FDC-600 combines the best of sheet fed flatbed die cutting technology with a cutting-edge servo driven constant tension web transport system. Specifically designed for fast job change and setup when run inline with flexo systems or digital lines, the FDC-600 creates a highly efficient web-fed, single pass folding carton production line.
With a maximum speed of 13,000 impressions per hour, the ability to nest products up to five, pre-registration and the benefit of being able to reconfigure the machine for a wide range of carton sizes and forms, without specialist tooling ensures that downtime and substrate wastage is kept to a minimum.
The FDC-600 can be retrofitted to an existing Edale or other manufacturers press or to a roll stand for off-line conversion of analogue or digitally pre-printed webs.
The machine will perform well with a wide range of carton board thicknesses and PET cartons with an optional upgrade.
Products can include cutting, creasing, embossing and brail with delivery being done with a denesting system that will ensure easy collection. A range of other delivery solutions such as a stand-alone Jumbo Unwind, as well as side unloading conveyors and batch stackers, are also available.

Three Gold Awards in a row
Our customer iTek Packz is known for its awards for Excellence in Flexography and Innovation, and for the third-consecutive year running has been awarded gold for Flexography, Narrow Web and they also received the highly acclaimed ‘Best in Show Award.’
They have been given high praise from the FTA judges for their winning entry, for Narrow Web, process, paperboard, which was a vibrant soap carton. The judges stated: “Lots of action in the carton, and it couldn’t have been executed better. Great screen work, great trap, and great register. The printer’s use of gold cold foil worked out very well. And the overprint varnish textures add measurable diversity and depth.”
iTek Packz also received a silver award for its narrow web, process, metalized for their production of a highly embellished, brandy box. The judges commented that it was flawlessly executed. All these award-winning cartons were run on an Edale Press.
iTek Packz commented: “We are very proud that for the third year running, we have been recognised by the FTA. To receive the ‘Best in Show’ and Gold and Silver Awards has been a great honour for our business.
Our Best in Show carton entry was produced for a customer who wanted 6-7 colours, gold matte foil, and varnish and other effects. We are delighted to have achieved the quality required using our technology and print capabilities, which in our opinion is the best in the industry.”
