Shimtape - zurichteband

Shimtape is used when the amount of pressure needs to be increased slightly in a certain area of a typographic printing press. The self-adhesive tape in usually placed underneath cutting, perforating or creasing lines (rules). This way slight wear on the steel rules can be circumvent. Also with this material you can cut self-adhesive labels without cutting the carrier of the label. (cutting between skin and flesh)

Shimtape is available in paper or steel. Below you can find the available types and thicknesses.
