Based in Lancashire, UK, Reelvision purchased their first Edale FL-5 Carton printing machine in 2007. A few years on and their growth within the industry resulted in the installation of a second Edale FL-5 this time with an FDC included.
Reelvision will be using the new machine to print high quality cartons which often include embossing, Braille and die cutting in a single pass and can print up to 7 colour plus a varnish.
Reelvision's Sales Director, Deborah Greenwood said: "The second FDC offered a slightly larger die cutting platform, this helped us expand our offering to customers to include the shelf ready packaging that complimented the primary packs.? Every other feature was the same spec as the first machine and this gave us the flexibility to plan on both presses. This press has doubled our capability and given us the spare capacity needed to offer industry breaking lead-times.
The FDC makes cost effective, short run folding carton production a reality. With a maximum speed of 10,000 impressions per hour, the ability to nest products up to five across and the ability 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. Quick to set up and easy to handle Edale's FDC fit Reelvision's brief perfectly.
Edale's managing director, James Boughton, added: "Performance is core to Edale and with our focus on designing and engineering new and improved products to suit customer requirements we look forward to continuing our longstanding relationship with Reelvision and working together to ensure maximum growth."
