Different Conditions, Same Results

Details matter, and you know how to adapt as conditions change. You pay attention to everything: the speed of the press, the humidity of the press room, how the ink and paper are performing and so much more. In the end, you look for consistency: beginning to end, from one run to the next, even from one press to the next.

3M can help: we deliver consistency so you can deliver consistency. We offer one of the industry’s tightest caliper tolerances so you know that the piece of flexographic tape you use to mount a plate today will be the same as the piece you use tomorrow will be the same as the piece you use six months from now, even from different rolls. Micro-channels in our adhesive help eliminate air bubbles for consistent quality while the adhesive also performs dependably during demounting so plates and tape remove easily.
