HD elastomer sleeves for high-resolution printing and maximum printing speed
As an experienced manufacturer of elastomer sleeves, our flexographic printing plates are not only extremely durable, but also approved for high-resolution printing up to 80 Ipcm using the continuous-seamless process thanks to the latest laser technology.
Our range of production processes allows us to manufacture sleeves of any size – starting from a small sleeve for laboratory uses, up to XXL-Sleeves with 3.500 mm face width and 1.500 mm print circumference.
Due to their durability and ability to handle high printing speeds, elastomer sleeves are clearly a cost-effective alternative to polymer plates. Another advantage: this process does not require any time-consuming assembly work.
Brilliant color depth
Our elastomer sleeves fulfil the highest demands in terms of print results and color depth. By using high-precision laser processes in the production of our flexographic printing forms, we achieve HD quality with a rasterization of up to 80 lines/cm.

Hydrophobic surfaces
Compared to conventional elastomer materials, hydrophobic surfaces provide excellent ink transfer density. This innovation allows you to use fine anilox rollers, which significantly reduces their ink consumption – a clear alternative to polymer plates.

Functional microstructure
The solid-area microstructures created based on fiber laser technology enable our HD elastomer sleeves to transfer more ink than standard – for an improved, uniform and brilliant print image.
