Sleeve cliché plate
For designs with colored backgrounds and complex print motifs
Each color in the printing process requires its own cylinder (cliché plate). If the design contains multiple colors, a separate cliché must be created for each color.
This type of printing plate is needed to avoid a seam between motifs. This is particularly important when the adhesive tape should have a different background color. Unlike standard clichés, there is no visible seam between motifs!
Setting up and adjusting the printing machines for seamless printed tapes takes longer than conventional printing and therefore requires more time.
- Ideal for backgrounds & continuous color areas
- Enables seamless, gapless printing
- Laser-engraved onto a cylinder
