In the highly competitive commercial printing and conversion industry, every minute counts. Press operators owe it to themselves to find opportunities to streamline processes, save time and effort, and increase productivity. One such opportunity might be simpler than expected: Switching out their flexo plate mounting tape to a product that’s easier to use.

Avery Dennison Fas-Flex™ Flexographic Plate Mounting Tapes are just such a product.

Avery Dennison Fas-Flex™ Flexographic Plate Mounting Tapes represent the state-of-the-art. They’re designed to help converters be more efficient and productive.

Fas-Flex™ tapes are engineered with a double-layer, polyethylene film, a feature not found on previous generations of plate mounting tapes. This provides a reduction in chatter and vibration that can allow presses to run faster while maintaining quality standards.

The material offers an extremely consistent caliper, which is critical for minimizing dot gain. Its closed cell foam structure easily rebounds from compression during printing. The tapes are designed to minimize vibration, gear chatter, and bouncing at high press speeds. For those looking to print high quality print jobs, Fas-Flex™  is the choice for these prime label applications.

And once applied, Fas-Flex™ tapes can be easily removed or repositioned. Tapes peel cleanly when the run is finished, leaving little to no adhesive residue.

All this helps press operators save time and effort otherwise spent prepping the cylinders, fixing mistakes, and cleaning up between runs.

Fas-Flex™ Plate Mounting Tapes are available cut-to-width and backed by technical support from Avery Dennison.
