Steel and Aluminum Blanket Bars

The first bar systems produced domestically in Turkey. Cutting and drilling in the required dimensions is supported.

We supply steel and aluminum blanket bars in requested sizes for all types of bar needs.

Underpacking Sheets

Underpacking sheets are support layers placed beneath the printing blanket and are available in various hardness levels depending on machine specifications.

Advantages of using underpacking sheets instead of cardboard under the blanket:

Precise Thickness Control:
▪ When cardboard is used as the lower layer instead of underpacking sheets, variations in thickness on the surface are inevitable. Since underpacking sheets are manufactured with more consistent thickness, the desired print quality is ensured immediately — without trial and error, which would otherwise take time.
Cost-Effective and High-Quality Printing:
▪ Underpacking sheets are produced with tightly controlled tolerances and retain their characteristics throughout print runs. This ensures consistent quality in terms of dot gain, ink transfer, and print density. As a result, optimum print pressure is achieved between plates, blankets, and impression cylinders, maximizing print quality while minimizing common problems such as ghosting, slurring, and dot distortion.
Safe Against Slipping and Movement:
▪ A key benefit: Underpacking sheets eliminate the risk of slippage between blanket and cylinder. Even during high-speed or long print runs, sheets stay securely in place — significantly reducing press stoppages and print quality issues.
Quick and Easy Color Identification:
▪ Each thickness of underpacking sheet is color-coded. This makes it easy to identify and select the correct sheet just by color — no need to measure the thickness every time.
Moisture Resistance:
▪ Since underpacking sheets are compressed during the printing process, they are not prone to expansion or swelling. Unlike cardboard, they do not absorb moisture after print stops and are far less likely to deform when reused.

Folex Adhesive Films

Adhesive films save time during mounting and ensure smooth, secure adhesion.

ADHESIVE ASTROLON
Machines from leading manufacturers like Heidelberg, MAN, KBA, Ryobi, Komori, WIFAG, Goss, and Solna often come factory-equipped with adhesive astrolon films at the blanket or underblanket level.

In such cases, Folex adhesive astrolon is preferred as a direct replacement.

Folex adhesive astrolon is a polyester-based film that resists stretching, shrinkage, and swelling caused by moisture or heat.
Thanks to its special adhesive structure, Folex astrolon provides long-lasting and secure mounting. Its micro-void adhesive surface ensures easy and bubble-free application without trapping air between layers.

Since adhesion depends entirely on the press cylinder’s pressure, the bond becomes permanent during printing. No additional adhesive is needed.

Important:
Before applying, all cylinder surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned. During application, ensure the adhesive film is fully secured and that no air bubbles remain underneath.

Advantages:
▪ No stretching or shrinking
▪ Does not swell due to fountain solution
▪ Prevents fountain solution from entering the cylinder and causing corrosion
▪ Maintains long-term adhesion strength without shifting
▪ Can be repositioned during mounting thanks to its micro-void adhesive
▪ Resistant to all types of printing chemicals
▪ No residue left behind when removed
