How to prevent damaging your printing sleeves

light sleeve specs 2

It is important to maintain the quality of your sleeves in order to ensure precision in your printing process. Sleeves over time can have the following damages due to incorrect handling:

  • Damaged surface
  • Damaged edges
  • Damaged slots

With this blog post, we would like to introduce to you our “sleeve cutting line”. This metal cutting line prevents one of the most common damages mentioned above, a damaged surface due to cutting into the sleeve while taping.

What is this metal cutting line?

With our sleeves, we always provide a scribe line. Tech Sleeves has chosen to offer this cutting line as a substitute in order to prevent damaging due to cutting into the sleeve while applying the tape.

This cutting line is a reinforced metal plate of 0.5 mm which is milled and fastened into the length of the sleeve. Finishing is done by a diamond stone grinder so that the surface of the strip is smooth with the rest of the sleeve surface.
