FL1 PRIME
Flexographic Printing Press
- Affordable
- High Quality
- Label Printing
Do you have an older mechanical press you want to replace or add to?
The Edale FL1 PRIME is a high productivity, cost efficient quality label printing system. Our design priority has been to create an affordable system that is exceptionally quick to set-up, generating absolutely minimal waste.
The FL1 Prime is aimed as a logical replacement or addition to the older mechanical presses used within the narrow web printing market.
Built upon the fundamentals of it’s bigger brother, the FL3, and by using Edale’s 75 years of experience in design, manufacturing and support allows for a reliable solution for the ever increasing print quality demands within the label industry. Using full servo driven technology as standard and the world renowned Uniprint printhead design quality, repeatability and low waste are easily and consistently achieved and maintained.

An issue for a printing professional is keeping consistent quality throughout their print run to ensure the highest possible standards for their customers.
The FL1 PRIME has been designed to create an affordable system that is exceptionally quick to set up, generating minimum waste.
Features such as pre-registration and Edale’s ‘UNiPRINT’ print head geometry means that the highest quality print is achieved and jobs can be set up in one web length of material. I would recommend the FL1 PRIME to my customers who need to replace older mechanical presses or add the latest technology to it.
