Printing Plates

From simple one-color prints to multi-color point-of-purchase displays to high-tech process prints.

We produce liquid and sheet photopolymer printing plates from high quality materials for a wide variety of flexographic applications. Our customers are manufacturers or direct purchasers of corrugated boxes, folding cartons, point-of-purchase displays, wide-web preprint, narrow web, paper and multi-wall bags.

With four photopolymer exposure units ranging in sizes up to 50″ x 80″, we can meet your needs for large one-piece plates and high volume output.

Heavy Duty Lead Edge Strips

Up until now, no product was available that is strong enough to prevent lead edge failures.

Our new triple-strength, Heavy Duty Lead Edge Strips are designed to minimize the typical failures that are prevalent in the corrugated industry.

These failures may be caused by press crew handling, heavy pressure loads, jam-ups, or by the plate mounter. Our triple strength strip prevents these failures and also produces a more rigid lead edge to the plate carrier.

  • Strips are available in both single and double flange.
  • LEI Heavy Duty Lead Edge Strips are sold in six foot and eight foot lengths, packaged 100 per box.

S.A.R. Ultra-Large Matt Plates

Ultra large and soft flood coating plates for printing color or coatings on corrugated board:

  • Maximum 60″ wide by 118″
  • For all corrugated presses
  • Soft 28A Durometer = no board crush
  • Light weight
  • Resistant to damage from handling
  • Good ink transfer
  • Rolls / folds in any direction
  • Optional side rolling for shipping and easier handling for your crews

We created this product to meet the corrugated industry’s need for larger and softer printing plates for printing large solid areas. Conventional rubber and photopolymer materials are not available in soft durometer and large sizes.

S.A.R. matt plates are light weight, soft, and flexible.

They print with less board crush, better ink transfer and are less susceptible to handling damage than rubber or photopolymer.

The tractor lead edge J-Bar allows the plate to be side rolled for shipping and storage and also allows the plate to be rolled/folded forward, backwards and sideways without causing delamination, dents or wrinkles.

They are custom made to the customer’s specifications for thickness, mounting and lock-up system.
