tesa Softprint® 500 µm (20 mil) Assortment Video
Historically, foam plate mounting tapes were divided into two thickness categories: 380 μm / 15 mil for label printing (narrow web) and 500 μm / 20 mil for flexible packaging printing (wide web). Nowadays, customers decide individually which category offers the most benefits for their processes.
Our tesa Softprint® assortment offers both thickness categories at an equally high level of quality in terms of print results and adhesive properties.
