Anilox Sleeves

Anilox Sleeves

Lightweight. Durable. Engineered for Repeatability.

 

At CTS Industries, our anilox sleeves are engineered for converters who demand precision, flexibility, and rapid changeovers without compromising on print quality. Built using advanced ceramic coating technologies and laser engraving systems, CTS sleeves deliver reliable ink transfer across a wide range of narrow and mid-web flexographic presses.

  • High-Performance Ceramic Coatings: Designed to resist wear, scoring, and chemical degradation—extending sleeve life and consistency

  • Tight Tolerances: Manufactured with strict dimensional control to ensure press-fit accuracy and minimal deflection

  • Lightweight Construction: Reduces operator fatigue and speeds up press changeovers

  • Custom Engraving Options: Choose from 40 to 1500+ LPI, including hexagonal, elongated, or specialty cells tailored to your ink and substrate

  • EZ View Pro™ Included: Every sleeve includes our proprietary, wear-resistant laser ID system for clear engraving data visibility
