Benefits of tech sleeve light
Up to 20% Lighter sleeve
Advanced lightweight foam technology reduces the weight of the sleeve for up to 10-20% comparing to market average. (Example dimensions - Repeat: 1370cm/54 inches; Width: 1670cm/66 inches; Wall thickness: 20mm/0.8 inch; Weight: 19 kg/41 lbs)
Advantages
- Easy handling
- Less risks and injuries
Optimized Vibration Control
The foam layer acts as a dampener while the reinforced glass fiber layer disperses vibrations, resulting in reliable printing quality. This enhances precision and reduces maintenance needs, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.
Advantages
- Stable and consistent
- Enhanced precision
Strong UV cured outer layer
The vinyl ester resin outer layer guarantees an 80 Shore D hardness, significantly exceeding the market standard. This material provides exceptional resistance to pressure, moisture, UV light, and chemicals, ensuring our sleeves remain robust and durable under demanding conditions.
Advantages
- High pressure resistant
- Less deflection
Enhanced durability
Optional rubber ends and metal-reinforced notches provide extra protection against edge decay and registration notch wear. These features guard against chemical and ink leakage, preventing sleeve swelling.
Advantages
- Low turnover rate
- Prevent sleeve swelling

Testimonials
Rotolificio Bergamasco ERREBI
"What convinced us the most was the very competitive price. Our experience with Tech Sleeves has been positive from the very beginning. It can be immediately noticed that the sleeves, besides having excellent material, have a perfect adherence with the tape. Even during the detaping phase, they leave no residue. Once mounted on the press, we noticed that the registration was perfect, which is exactly what we were looking for." - Daniele Zambelli, ERREBI Print Quality Manager
