Adheso’s FlexStik Hard Tape Mounting Tapes are an industry standard plate mounting system, suitable for mounting both rubber and polymer printing plates.
These products feature a high-adhesion, soft rubber adhesive system coated on a hard film carrier. FlexStik hard tapes find application in harsh printing environments, where temperature or long-run durability are required. They are ideal for printing solid or fine-line graphics, and for extreme high-bond plate attachment. FlexStik tapes provide maximum ink coverage in block solid replication. Best suited for printing paper and poly type films or simple graphic reproduction.
