Edale and Douglas Storrie Labels host Open Day

Douglas Storrie Labels recently welcomed existing and potential customers to its factory in Lytham-St-Anne’s, UK. The open day was an opportunity to see demonstrations of the company’s newest press, the Edale FL-350.

Stuart Robinson, works manager at Douglas Storrie Labels, and Chris Chappel, Edale’s print application engineer, ran three different jobs during three FL-350 machine demonstrations throughout the day to demonstrate the quality of print, running speeds and the versatility of the press.

The first job was a 4-color process cut sheet sample on gloss laser paper with gold cold foil. Douglas Storrie claims companies are now asking it to carry out manufacturing trials for them, following ‘a lot of feedback from the trade that they have never seen a better lay down of foil’.

The second job, entitled ‘Wuffitmix’, was a 4-color process label on PP film. It was the sample that has been entered into this year’s Flexotech awards within the ‘Labels and Tags’ category. The demonstration showcased the range of materials and processes, from paper cut sheets to film labels and the final print job undertaken was on an unsupported film for wrap around packaging.

As well as networking with other customers, guests were able to meet the local mayor of Fylde who had come along to meet Nigel Storrie, owner of Storrie Labels.

Edale will have a new FL-350 press at its showroom from October 2012.
