ARC International has lots of satisfied fiberglass sleeve customers.

But some asked for more: More dimensional integrity. More durability. More fluid changeovers. And we love a challenge. After all, if it weren’t for discriminating flexographers, we wouldn’t be in business. Because sleeves must be expanded to slip on and off the mandrel, when you expand a rigid, fiber/epoxy sleeve, deterioration starts from day one. It’ll work fine, as long as the slippage and vibration caused by eventual deterioration can be masked by your substrate. But film and foil are unforgiving. The newNickelBack TM sleeve fromARC is manufactured with an electroformed nickel alloy core that will not corrode, rust, or delaminate—at a cost comparable to fiberglass. It takes less air pressure to expand for mounting, and always snaps back to size, no matter howmany changeovers you do. And ARC NickelBack sleeves are engineered to be resurfaced many, many times.
