Tesa platemounting tapes - for best print results

In label printing, quick and straight-forward tape handling really matters, so plates can be easily replaced. Labels for modern-day packing require complex print motifs; fine screen, exact barcode, fine colour gradients and solid areas. Labels must be produced in the highest quality on paper film.

A specialist assortment with 2 different grades of foam hardness and various film-based qualities provides solutions for all plates, Tesa offers a range of new products, with different adhesive strengths, promoting damage free de-mounting of thin plates

Tesa softprint - optimum thickness tolerances

The properties of the PE-foam in use have been optimised with thickness tolerance in mind - the foam has been neither thermally nor mechanically manipulated during production.
The constant tape thickness supports consistent ink distribution. Set-up time is also reduced, especially important for repeat jobs.

Always the right adhesive strength, thereby ensuring:

Simple repositioning of tape and plate before printing
High bond strength during printing, and therefore no edge lifting, even when using the tape a second time.
Simple and residue-free de-mounting of plate and tape following printing, made possible by a low increase in peel adhesive.

The details make the difference.

The PE-foam has an optimised recovery capability, guaranteeing constant print results at higher speeds.
Higher foam-elasticity transmits even the finest plate details.
Magnification under Screen-electron-microscopes reveals the secret of the tesa softprint foam:
- Small, completely closed, spherical foam-cells
- very evenly distributed cell structure.
