Rotometal introduces eco-friendly printing sleeves
Polish tooling specialist Rotometal has launched Eco CRO Sleeves GF, which use composite print cylinders and replace the standard honeycomb volumetric layer material with 100 percent rPET and the base layer with a high-performance green epoxy resin featuring 28 percent of its molecular structure deriving from plant origin.
The new environmentally friendly printing sleeves are the result of taking Rotometal’s existing technology and making it more environmentally friendly. The CRO Sleeves GF are kinder for the environment thanks to the material used in the sleeve that makes it lighter. This reduces the impact on machinery and reduces the running costs.Read More : Digital Printing Makes Significant Inroads into Corrugated Market ECO CRO Sleeves GF volume layer is made from 100 percent recycled materials. Using the existing honeycomb technology, Rotometal replaced the current PET with recycled material to create a sleeve as durable and robust as its predecessor but more eco-friendly.
