DuploFLEX® Plate Mounting Tapes and Compressible Bases for easy Pre-Print and Post-Print Processes

Ever-increasing customer demands and complex print jobs place the highest requirements on corrugated board printing, making it a challenging and demanding process. Professional printers are therefore forced to increasingly optimize their processes to remain competitive. This is especially true for pre-print, and even more so for the challenging post-print process, where achieving high-quality print 

results is difficult. Providing a visual and tactile experience at the point of sale that sets the stage for brand presentation is more important than ever and an inherent part of every product. Brilliant print images and individual solutions are prerequisites for this. Lohmann has the answer with the DuploFLEX portfolio and the support of our knowledgeable FLEXpert.

What makes the difference?

Perfect print image through double-sided flexible PE reinforcement and a viscoelastic composite structure achieving 100% performance in corrugated board pre-printing requirements.

DuploFLEX® 5 Range:

Lohmann-duploflex-4-5-foam-adhesive-tape-description

Equipped with a double-sided, flexible PE reinforcement for excellent print quality

  • Forces acting upon the compressible foam are perfectly cushioned

  • Controls dot gain and ensures optimal print image even at high printing speeds

Conventional Foam Adhesive Tape:

Conventional-foam-adhesive-tape-description-left

Laminated with PET film

  • Causes uncontrolled dot gain

  • Leads to distorted print image

Your benefits


Efficiency

  • Highest press speed due to fast foam compression capacity
  • Highest print quality even at older presses as less sensitive to machine parameters and bouncing
  • Shortest make ready down time due to bubble free mounting
  • Wide selection of tapes with different foam variants and adhesive formulations
  • Color-coded products to ensure immediate identification of the foam hardness
  • Advanced liner: special adhesive structure for bubble free mounting and demounting
  • HP Foam: High-performance polymer foam for unrivaled stability


Quality

  • Excellent results for fine process work, brilliant halftones, perfect solids and clean fonts in the 0,50 mm thickness category

  • Available in various foam hardnesses according to your desired print image

  • Minimized plate lifting and no uncontrolled dot gain as well as residue-free demounting

  • Best in class plate mounting and demounting with engineered acrylic adhesives

 

 


Sustainability

  • Reduced unsellable waste in make ready as less sensitive to machine parameters, press speed and bouncing
  • More sellable printed material while the press is running and consuming energy
  • Reduced waste stream due to prolonged plate life as the tape compensates for plate friction

Your benefits


Efficiency

  • Highest press speed due to Premium polymer foam which ensures rapid recovery behavior, highly stable compressibility, and optimal resilience
  • Highest print quality even at older presses as less sensitive to machine parameters and bouncing
  • Cost of flexo plates can be reduced by using DuploFLEX CB cushioning foam to compensate for thinner plates while still matching the machine undercut
  • Easy and fast repositioning of the plate on the cylinder
  • Available in various foam thicknesses and equipped with either a PET film carrier or self-adhesive on one side
  • PET film carrier extended on one side for easy handling of our bases, by means of quick fixing of the edging strip


Quality

  •  Excellent results for fine process work, brilliant halftones, perfect solids and clean fonts
  • Washboard effects as well as dot gain are significantly reduced or even avoided
  • Consistent quality - unlike open-cell foam, our closed-cell foam is water- and color-resistant
  • Brilliant print image also with flat-top-dot and surface screening technologies
