Hi all good morning… Our HD Anilox sleeve is my favorite Apex product to supply… the typical issues of why a sleeve dies prematurely are: delamination, end caps coming off (competitor sleeve end caps are typically press fit and/or glued in, some don’t have them at all) and TIR issues… are you tired of getting hard phone calls from your Anilox supplier stating that your sleeve not salvageable and you need a new one ? Although our HD Anilox sleeves are not indestructible, compared to everything else out there, there is no question that this is a better “nut”: The inner sleeve is made of a Kevlar type composite, much more durable than the average composite material we see out there: it is not wound, and it is sealed, which will have a very positive impact on resisting delamination, fraying, swelling, and easier to clean and longer lasting… It is sealed with a sealant, and can actually be submerged, which we would not recommend, but we know can happen, especially if you are using a liquid cleaner. The end caps are made of stainless steel and are screwed and notched in, holding the whole sleeve together, not only to create support on the edges where you need it to help prevent TIR issues( from too much “wiggling” while trying to load on and off) but are also guaranteed never to come out. They will never corrode, and are very robustly built. Finally, the design is built to run up to 2000+ feet per minute with no bounce, and is lighter than a typical sleeve, which is great, especially for the larger machines on the upper decks, to help operators install and uninstall easier, it’s more ergonomic. The final selling point is the simple fact that Apex makes these ourselves, we are the only Anilox Co that designs and builds them ourselves, they are designed for Anilox, with the typical issues discussed above in mind. This will result in the possibility of many more reworks and longevity and performance of your Anilox sleeve. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out, we would love the opportunity to support you. Thank you for reading and your time, have a great day! Warm regards, Aaron

Choosing the right adhesive is one of the most important decisions you'll make; and it takes on another level of importance when the adhesives are going to be exposed to the elements, (because, let's be honest, it doesn't matter what your nameplate or data plate says if it's laying upside down on the ground...). ☀️🌧️⚡❄️ #madeinusa #productbranding

The ALL NEW Squid Ink CoPilot Max LT Printer - LT stands for Long Throw. If you have uneven surfaced products, slightly miss shaped cartons or multi-layer boxes or products then this is the printer for you if you need to print details onto the product. Barcodes, 2D datamatrix or QR codes are handled with ease. Instead of placing the printhead 2 or 3mm from the product you can back it away to half an inch or slightly further (12mm to 14mm) and still achieve crisp and clear print. We have a customer printing onto cylindrical gas bottles and the curved surface presents no problem to the CoPilot Max LT. It replaced dated, low resolution Drop On Demand printing technology. Take a look at the attached video. Take a look at the print quality!! The #squidink CoPilot Max LT inkjet printer - it's the future. #CoPilotMaxLT
