DuploFLEX® Plate Mounting Tape Range
Leveraging decades of experience in the flexo printing sector, Lohmann develops adhesive solutions tailored for flexible packaging, label and corrugated board printing. The DuploFLEX® range is designed to deliver consistent performance across these applications.

DuploFLEX 3 | 4 EB
Engineered bond with double-sided flexible PE reinforcement and a viscoelastic composite structure for improved handling during mounting and demounting and accurate print reproduction, even at low impression settings for label and flexible packaging printing.

Your benefits (DuploFLEX 3 | 4 EB)

• Optimized for fine process work, detailed halftones, solid areas and clear text in the 0.38 mm thickness category
• Compatible with UV-, solvent- and water-based inks
• Available in various foam hardnesses and two tape thicknesses to suit desired print images
• Color-coded products enable immediate identification of foam hardness
• Reduced plate lifting and controlled dot gain with residue-free demounting
• Advanced plate mounting and demounting using engineered acrylic adhesives
• Embossed liner for easier handling

DuploFLEX 5
Designed for precise print reproduction through double-sided flexible PE reinforcement and a viscoelastic composite structure. Available in proven allrounder and solvent-free variants, combining consistent performance with improved sustainability for label, flexible packaging and corrugated board pre-printing applications.

Your benefits (DuploFLEX 5)

• Optimized for fine process work, detailed halftones, solid areas and clear text in the 0.50 mm thickness category
• Wide selection of tapes with different foam qualities and adhesive formulations
• Compatible with UV-, solvent- and water-based inks
• Available in various foam hardnesses for specific print image requirements
• Color-coded products enable immediate identification of foam hardness
• Reduced plate lifting and controlled dot gain with residue-free demounting
• Advanced plate mounting and demounting using engineered acrylic adhesives
• Embossed liner for easier handling
• DuploFLEX 5 GRIP range reduces solvent usage in the adhesive coating process by approximately 50%

DuploFLEX CB
Solvent-free pure acrylic adhesive combined with high-quality closed-cell polymer foam for precise print reproduction and adaptable solutions for lamination handling or use with prelaminated compressible bases in corrugated board post-printing processes.

Your benefits (DuploFLEX CB)

• Solution-oriented options for post-print: suitable for in-house lamination or for use with prelaminated compressible bases
• New solvent-free pure acrylic adhesive formula with strong grip to the sleeve side
• PET film carrier extended on one side for easier handling of bases and quick fixing of edging strips
• Good print reproduction including flat-top-dot and surface screening technologies
• Available in various foam thicknesses and equipped with either a PET film carrier or self-adhesive on one side

FS 57 Splicing Tape
Double-sided splicing tape with a self-splittable carrier for flying splices of flexible materials in converting processes such as flexo and rotogravure printing as well as laminating operations.

Your benefits (Splicing / FS series)

• High tack and good adhesion on low surface energy substrates
• Very good splitting/separation capability for smooth and safe roll changes
• Tearable by hand
• Easy-release split liner
• Easy to apply — no need for complex tape patterns or multiple tapes

Applications

• Plate mounting and demounting for flexo printing
• Flexible packaging printing
• Label printing
• Corrugated board pre- and post-printing
• Converting and laminating processes (splicing)
