The Edale CartonLine FL6p
The future of folding carton production. Delivered in a single pass.
The way brands specify packaging is changing fast: shorter runs, faster turnarounds, more decorative finishes, and tighter sustainability demands. Traditional multi-pass workflows — with their labour, waste, WIP and footprint — no longer keep pace.
The Edale CartonLine FL6p is built for this new reality. A precision-engineered, single-pass flexo platform that consolidates printing, embellishment, die-cutting and stripping into one controlled workflow. Faster. Leaner. More consistent. More competitive.
This is how modern carton production is done.
Single-pass. Multiple advantages. One integrated platform.
1. Higher Output, Lower Waste
Do more with less. One operator, one workflow, one end-to-end process.
Reduce your WIP, cut handling, and eliminate unnecessary set-ups.
2. Automation that Protects Performance
Servo-driven accuracy, intelligent register control, and automated set-up routines deliver repeatable, high-definition results — regardless of operator skill.
3. Faster Changeovers, Greater Flexibility
Switch substrates and jobs with confidence.
The FL6p is designed for the realities of today’s schedules: short – medium runs, frequent changeovers, and premium finishing.
4. Smaller Footprint, Lower Operating Costs
One line replaces multiple machines. Fewer touchpoints, less energy, less factory space, less labour dependency — with a measurable impact on cost-to-run.
5. Built Around You
Configure your CartonLine FL6p to the markets you serve:
luxury cartons, FMCG sleeves, pharma, food-to-go, promotional packaging and more.
Exceptional print. Exceptional finishing. All inline.
The Edale CartonLine FL6p brings together every stage of your carton production into a single,harmonised process:
- High-definition flexo printing that rivals offset in quality and consistency
- Inline embellishment: foiling, tactile varnishes, metallics, security features
- Inline converting: flatbed and rotary die-cutting, creasing, stripping, sheeting
- Clean, controlled workflows that minimise waste and maximise repeatability
What once took multiple passes, operators and machines can now be achieved with one press, one set-up, one continuous flow.
Designed for converters who want to do more, faster — and smarter.
Whether you’re producing premium folding cartons, high-volume FMCG packaging, or short- medium run custom work, the FL6p delivers:
- Superior print and embellishment quality
- Outstanding register stability and colour consistency
- Significant reductions in waste, labour, energy and floor space
- Sustainable production with lower material use and fewer processes
All backed by Edale’s lifecycle partnership — commissioning, training, remote diagnostics, performance optimisation and continuous improvement.
The CartonLine FL6p isn’t just a press.

Built to perform
Every component of the FL6p is engineered for efficiency and control.
Its servo-driven web-handling system maintains perfect tension and register from the first carton to the last.
With a 600–650 mm web width, the CartonLine FL6p is ideal for a wide range of carton formats and applications. The modular design allows easy configuration for specific needs. Whether that’s high-speed short runs, premium embellishment, or integration with existing converting lines.
- 600mm - 650mm web width
- Energy efficient running with reduced waste
- HD print quality with sharp resolution and vibrant colour
- Embellishment without compromise
Sustainability by design
Sustainability isn’t an add-on; it’s built into every stage of the CartonLine FL6p.
Single-pass production means less transport between processes, less make-ready waste, and less energy consumption per job. The compact footprint also supports smarter use of space and resources, helping converters hit both productivity and environmental goals.
From recyclable inks and coatings to reduced substrate waste, the FL6p aligns with evolving sustainability standards while keeping operational efficiency front and centre.
From cartons to opportunity
Converters everywhere are rethinking how they work.
With flexo now matching offset for quality, and surpassing it for speed and automation, the shift to single-pass carton production is accelerating.
The CartonLine FL6p isn’t just a machine, it’s a platform for growth. Its flexibility enables converters to expand into new markets and applications, from premium cartons and wrap-arounds to luxury embellishments, all using the same trusted technology.
And with full Edale and Canon support, you gain a long-term partner committed to helping you scale, evolve, and stay ahead.
