Evidence

Why we built our own sleeve

We sold and repaired sleeves of this type for twenty years. Repairing them taught us where and why they fail: the foam core swells, the end faces crack, solvent gets in at the ends and the surface wears. sleeveX™ was designed layer by layer against that list.

2025 CI FLEXO TECH Technology Innovation Award

Awarded to sleeveX™ in the year of its launch.

Third-party lab reports have limited value in this industry. The evidence that counts is a sleeve that has run for years on a real press.
