We give packaging a personality and create designs from layout to to print ready files. Our reproduction experts reliably collate our customers’ print data in order to achieve the best result when going to press.
The elastomer sleeves we manufacture are not only extremely durable but are also suitable for high resolution printing up to 70 Ipcm thanks to cutting-edge laser technology. Thanks to the highest quality standards for the elastomer coating and the use of substructures, our flexographic printing sleeves are designed for the highest printing speeds. Elastomer sleeves are a financially viable alternative to traditional polymer plates due to their durability, and ability to cope with high printing speeds. They also require no mounting work.
Thanks to our versatile production methods we can manufacture sleeves in any size – from small laboratory sleeves to XXL sleeves up to 3,500 mm bale width and 1,500 mm print circumference.
Discover more about SAUERESSIG’s innovative elastomer printing sleeves:
– Endless, seamless HD printing sleeves with up to 200 lpi resolution
– Use of various synthetic materials to ensure perfect color transfer to your substrate (EDPM, SBR, NBR)
– Dot gain reduced thanks to undercut laser engraving
– Very high printing speeds achievable
– Vibration-free printing by 3D engraving and substructures
– Perfect duplication possible through the use of a fibre laser
– Environmentally friendly thanks to water-based cleaning and recyclable material
We integrate printed electronics into a wide range of applications. Constant innovations in printed electronics produce first-class, cutting-edge results. Our customers can take advantage of the most precise laser engraving available with line thicknesses down to 30 µ and printing sleeves designed for durability.
The demand for SAUERESSIG elastomer plates is growing steadily. They are not only resistant to solvents but are also ideal for HD quality colour sets.

– Excellent service life and color transfer
– Resistant to any kind of solvent and lacquers
– 3D laser engraving for the intricate details
– Perfect duplication possible through the use of a fibre laser
– Extremely high durability thanks to tear resistance during disassembly
– Environmentally friendly: Water-based cleaning and recyclable mixtures
We conduct technical laser engraving according to your individual standards, regardless of the material used. Our laser systems are designed to handle even the most demanding tasks, such as 3D laser engraving or deep engraving up to 10 mm.
Our range includes photopolymer plates from all the leading manufacturers. With technology exclusively developed by us, we are constantly developing flexo HD plates to offer increased printing features to our customers. The plates are available in various thicknesses from 1.14 mm to 2.84 mm.
With innovative SAUERESSIG Screening coating plates, our clients can create tangible emotional reactions to their products through haptic coating effects. We produce this technology as screening or standard Gold A polymer plates as well as elastomer plates.
Why use our elastomer plates for offset printing?
– A stable polyester carrier which does not stretch during fixing nor kink during handling.
– Dimensionally stable and capable of long runs due to polyester support and the elastomer surface.
– Highest quality
