Press & Insights

When you’re working to tight margins, low operating costs are essential, and press uptime is critical. However, the root causes of downtime are not always visible.  Hidden micro-inefficiencies, the wrong products and procedures, and operator variability can all have an impact on your press output, print quality, and uptime.  In the following article, we’ll examine the potential print issues holding your productivity back and ask some of our Efficiency Experts about the practical steps you can take to drive your efficiency. 

In this article we compare the key pillars of more sustainable flexographic printing identified by the Flexographic Technical Association with our own sustainability efforts here at tesa. We're happy to see that our goals are so closely aligned with the priorities of the printing industry.

At tesa, circular packaging is a joint effort. By working closely with strategic suppliers, we actively close material loops and transform packaging from a single use necessity into a circular value stream.

When does circularity really begin? For most people, it starts at the end of a product’s life cycle – where waste becomes visible.

What if long-established solutions could be transformed to help tackle today’s biggest sustainability challenges?

Natural rubber has a reputation for being renewable. But in many supply chains, the bigger question is: can you prove where it comes from, and under which conditions it was grown and produced?

tesa’s Hamburg plant will never be the same again. In 2025, we took transformation to the next level – further rolling out a bold plan that’s slashing CO₂ emissions and speeding up our path to climate neutral production by 2030 (Scope 1 & 2).
