World Class Flexo Printing Sleeve Solutions
Tech Sleeves designs and manufactures the highest quality hard sleeves in market. We use the best materials and processes to ensure that our sleeves are durable and can withstand any printing press environment.
Designed for High Speed Presses
Extreme Durability and Strength
Chemical Resistant
Sleeve Features & Options
Inner Metal Ring
Most strong and durable slot solution. The diameter of the metal ring is slightly wider than the core, to ensure easy mounting and prevent the damage of the mandrel.
Hard Sealed Edges
Protects the core from damage by ink and solvents. Ensures the longevity of the sleeve.
Rubber Sealed Edges
Decreases wear and tear of the sleeve while increases durability. The edges are shock absorbent, therefore the chances of impact damage on the side of the sleeve are reduced.
Smart Sleeve
Equipped with RFID chip and magnet to store identification numbers and repeat sizes to simplify the identification process.
Metal Cutting Line
Helps the operator with cutting and prevents sleeve damage. The cutting line has an optimum width of 6mm, which improves the balance of the sleeves.
