Start Lightweight Composite Sleeves for Higher Speeds & Faster Changes

Lightweight Composite Sleeves for Higher Speeds & Faster Changes

In today’s competitive market, pressroom efficiency is everything. Traditional solid or heavy-walled cylinders are a major source of inefficiency—they slow down job changes, increase operator fatigue, and can cause press bounce at the high speeds you need to run. The future of high-speed flexo printing is lightweight, advanced composite technology.

Rotometal’s composite sleeves are engineered to solve these challenges. By using advanced materials like fiberglass and specialized resins, we create printing sleeves that are significantly lighter, more stable, and easier to handle. This allows you to run your press faster, safer, and with higher quality than ever before.

High-Performance Composite Sleeve Family

Our core range of composite sleeves is designed to provide the perfect balance of lightweight handling and the rock-solid stability needed for high-quality printing at top speeds.

rotoSLEEVE Hybrid

The Problem: You need a printing sleeve that is light enough for fast changes but tough enough to withstand the demands of high-speed, long-run jobs.

Our Solution: The rotoSLEEVE Hybrid combines a lightweight composite body for easy handling with a robust surface for maximum durability and resistance to damage.

Benefit: Get the best of both worlds—the easy handling of a lightweight sleeve and the durability needed for your most demanding press conditions. Ready to ship in 10 days!

rotoSLEEVE Glass Fibre

The Problem: Standard sleeves can be heavy or lack the dimensional stability required for high-quality, high-speed flexo printing.

Our Solution: The rotoSLEEVE Glass Fibre is the industry standard for lightweight performance, offering exceptional stability for precise, bounce-free printing.

Benefit: Improve both print quality and pressroom ergonomics with a sleeve that is stable, reliable, and easy for your operators to use.

rotoSLEEVE Hydrophobic

The Problem: Moisture from water-based inks or high humidity can cause standard sleeves to swell over time. This dimensional change leads to registration issues and compromises print quality.

Our Solution: The rotoSLEEVE Hydrophobic features a specially treated surface that creates an impermeable barrier, making it completely resistant to moisture absorption.

Benefit: Guarantee consistent registration and flawless print quality when working with water-based inks or in humid conditions, while also extending the life of your sleeve.

rotoSLEEVE Anilox Base

The Problem: A high-performance anilox roller is a major investment. If its underlying base is unstable or imprecise, the final roller will cause print defects and have a short life, wasting your entire investment.

Our Solution: The rotoSLEEVE Anilox Base is engineered with extreme dimensional stability to serve as the perfect foundation for ceramic coating and laser engraving by your anilox supplier.

Benefit: Protect your anilox investment. Ensure your final roller delivers flawless, consistent ink transfer and has a long, reliable service life by starting with a superior base.

rotoSLEEVE Antistatic

The Problem: Static electricity generated by solvent-based inks can ruin your print quality with defects like hazing and feathering, and can also create a serious fire hazard in the pressroom.

Our Solution: The rotoSLEEVE Antistatic is specifically designed with conductive properties that safely dissipate static charge as it builds, preventing it from ever reaching critical levels.

Benefit: Achieve sharp, defect-free print quality with solvent-based inks and significantly improve the safety of your pressroom operations.

Sustainable Solutions Without Compromise

Meet your environmental goals and appeal to eco-conscious clients without ever sacrificing the performance your pressroom demands.

rotoSLEEVE ECO

The Problem: Your customers and internal goals demand more sustainable printing processes, but you cannot afford to sacrifice performance.

Our Solution: The rotoSLEEVE ECO is manufactured using materials that are naturally derived and recycled, significantly reducing its environmental footprint.

Benefit: Achieve your sustainability targets and appeal to eco-conscious clients, all while delivering high-quality, reliable performance.

rotoSLEEVE ECO Antistatic

The Problem: Printing with solvent-based inks creates a dual challenge: managing dangerous static build-up while also meeting sustainability standards.

Our Solution: This sleeve combines our eco-friendly construction with a specialized antistatic surface designed to safely dissipate static electricity.

Benefit: Ensure flawless print quality by preventing static-related defects and improve pressroom safety, all while using a sustainable tool.
