Plate mounting tape

Designed for mounting flexographic printing plates onto cylinders and sleeves, the next-generation tesa Softprint Secure Family of products is comprised of four distinctive products, all of which are equipped with the company’s closed-cell foam and filmic reinforcement.

Softprint Secure products’ adhesive system has been specially developed to securely mount and maintain position of flexographic plates for the duration of the print process. The new adhesive system helps products resist edge lifting, even on the smallest cylinders and sleeves, regardless of plate thickness.

Because the adhesive system is extremely resistant to solvents, cleaning plates while on press will no longer cause edge lifting due to compromised adhesive systems of the plate mounting tape.

The Softprint Secure line includes: tesa 52825 Softprint Secure – 20-mil hard foam plate mounting tape; tesa 52820 Softprint Secure – 20-mil medium-hard foam plate mounting tape; tesa 52821 Softprint Secure – 20-mil medium foam plate mounting tape; and tesa 52822 Softprint Secure – 20-mil soft foam plate mounting tape.
