Unique Printing Sleeve Options
2
Rubber sealed edges
Decreases wear and tear of the sleeve. The edges are shock absorbent, therefore sleeve damage is prevented.
3
Full inner metal ring
The most strong and durable slot solution. It increases the lifetime of the sleeve.
4
Smart Sleeve
Sleeve with a RFID chip and magnet that store identification numbers, repeat sizes and quality reports from the TIR
5
Hard sealed edges
Protects the core from damage by ink and solvents. Ensures the longevity of the sleeve.
6
Metal cutting line
The metal cutting line has an optimum width of 6mm and helps the operator to apply tape without cutting the sleeve
7
Conductive
For anti-static applications that require conductivity from the outer layer to the base mandrel.
