Stage amazing quality

Your quick guide to print quality

Changing market dynamics are raising the bar for quality in the world of flexible packaging: Premium-ization, variety,
sustainability – everyone wants more, faster, for less.  And amidst it all, you still want to do a great job. 
We get it. And by working together – our plate mounting technology, your expertise and craft – we can move things forward, and deliver the print quality that you are proud to put your name to, every time.

Focus on the details

Improved quality comes with a focus on the right details – fine-tuning your plate mounting solution so that it is 100% optimized for the print challenge in front of you. What may look like tiny differences in the adhesive or foam actually have a huge impact – for example, improving registration, avoiding pinholing, reducing bounce – and helping you deliver significantly better print outcomes.

01Perfect register

The correct thickness of your plate mounting solution is critical in achieving precise registration for every motif, exactly why we have a strong focus on the highest quality raw materials and precise production processes.

02Accurate results

Pinholing is a common issue, especially with increasing customer expectations of rich, vibrant color as part of a high quality packaging design. Only the perfect balance of anilox, plate, tape, ink, and machine parameters will lead to optimal print results. We can provide the ideal plate mounting solution and a range of six foam hardnesses, which means you will get razor-sharp accuracy – whether it is the finest of fine screens, or the deepest of solids.

03Reliable plate adhesion

As well as factors like the thickness or condition of your plates, the manufacturing environment (especially extreme heat or cold) will influence how adhesive performs. You need to take everything into account to achieve the ideal, reliable bond, and therefore consistent print quality. 

No compromise

No two presses, or print jobs, are the same. Whatever you are running, or the production pressures you are under, we can help you find the very best quality solution – either with tapes or reusable self-adhesive sleeves.
