SHIM TAPE
AND PATCHUP TAPE

< PRODUCTS

We provide several options for balancing your formes to maintain a constant cutting depth. For hand plattens and cylinders we recommend using the hardened stainless steel reinforced Shim Tape for the best results. While on Bobst and other automated cutting systems we recommend using the thinner Profi-tape type.
