When it comes to flexographic printing, it’s easy to overlook the role of flexo mounting tape, the nearly invisible consumable that keeps every job running smoothly. While these tapes might seem like a basic supply, there’s far more to flexo mounting tape than meets the eye. Not all tapes are created equal, and neither are the suppliers who provide them. In flexo, the difference between average and exceptional print quality often comes down to knowing more about your flexo mounting tape and splicing tape choices.
Why Flexo Mounting Tape Matters
Flexo mounting tape is the critical link between your printing plate and cylinder, affecting everything from print clarity to press efficiency. It’s tempting to think all mounting and splicing tapes are interchangeable, but subtle differences in construction, adhesive, and foam density can have a big impact on your operation. The right flexo mounting tape can reduce press downtime, minimize waste, and deliver the consistent results your customers expect.
