Flexo Plate Sleeves

Stork is no novice in the flexo ITR arena having pioneered the endless, seamless plate almost 20 years ago under the trade name Seamex, which is now owned and successfully sold by OEC Graphics. Nor is the company unfamiliar with laser engraving. Says Harry McKay, head of sales and marketing for the graphics business unit of Stork Print Group, with U.S. headquarters in Charlotte, N.C., "The largest part of our company has traditionally serviced the textile industry [where engraved ceramic and rubber cylinders are routinely used]. It makes perfect sense to take all of that technology and translate it to the flexo industry."
