Only Small Steps in Your Cost-Cutting Measures?

For those of you who have not heard: tesa® Twinlock is a self-adhesive flexo printing sleeve. During plate mounting, the need for self-adhesive tape is eliminated, plates are directly mounted on the sleeve. Already sounds like savings, right?

One of the key features of our tesa® Twinlock sleeves is that they are permanently self-adhesive. After printing and plate demounting, the adhesive surface can simply be reactivated and used again. What does this mean for you? It means that if your team performs the recommended cleaning and handling procedures, you can theoretically use the sleeves endlessly, therefore eliminating the need for plate mounting tape, which reduces time for plate mounting procedures and increases cost savings in purchasing. It really doesn’t take long to do the math! 

Obviously, there is an initial investment. New sets of tesa® Twinlock sleeves need to be ordered and put into operation. To ensure that the set-up in your operation goes smoothly and that you can start printing right away, we offer on-site and off-site training and support. 

The payback period for your initial investment in tesa® Twinlock sleeves can be particularly short when printing many jobs with the same repeat throughout the year.

Here is an example:
We looked at an actual customer’s repeat that runs 558 times per year, 10 sleeves per job, and an actual print width of 57.87 in (~147 cm). In this case, their initial investment paid back in under two months (yes, months, you read that right!), after that, they started saving money day by day. They’re pretty happy with the results. And so are we.
