Plate Mounting Tapes for Flexographic Printing
Precision, repeatability, and efficiency — built into every print job.
Precision starts at press.
Our complete range of tesa® Plate Mounting Solutions
From traditional foam tapes to next-generation and reusable solutions, the tesa® portfolio covers every production need.
tesa® Softprint Classic
Built on a PET reinforcement layer, Softprint Classic provides excellent dimensional stability, reliable plate adhesion, and clean demounting after production.
Ideal for consistent jobs and presses operating under controlled conditions where precision and repeatability are key.
tesa® Softprint Flex
Featuring PE reinforcement layers, Softprint Flex delivers outstanding conformability — even on thin-walled or slightly damaged sleeves.             Its flexible construction supports precise mounting across a range of sleeve surfaces, making it ideal for frequent job changes and high-mix production runs.
tesa® Softprint neXt
Next-generation foam tape engineered for maximum efficiency and reliability. It enables faster plate mounting and clean demounting, protects plates for reuse, and maintains print quality even under demanding press conditions. The result: higher uptime, longer plate life, and consistent flexographic performance.
tesa® Twinlock
A sustainable, self-adhesive alternative to traditional mounting tapes.
tesa® Twinlock sleeves feature a permanently tacky polymer surface that allows direct plate mounting without additional tape.
Easy to clean and re-activate, Twinlock helps reduce material waste and setup time — perfect for repeat jobs and high-volume production.
