Self-adhesive blankets

for printing cans, labels and flexible packaging

Airtack M and Airtack J

Airtack M and Airtack J are bespoke self-adhesive products designed to meet the requirements for Continuous Stationary, Envelope and small Web-Offset presses. The robust construction is designed to extend blanket lifetime on press and the specially formulated adhesive layer provides a strong bond to the cylinder without leaving a residue when the blanket is removed. Airtack M is designed to be used with Conventional and Dual ink systems and Airtack J is designed to be used with full UV ink systems.

Thickness:
