Precision packing for stable pressure, consistent print length and cleaner press changeovers.
| Advantage | Why the customer cares |
|---|---|
| 1. Stable packing height | Dimensionally stable PET helps maintain the intended underlay thickness better than compressible paper stacks, supporting repeatable cylinder geometry. |
| 2. More even print pressure | A flat, calibrated layer supports more uniform nip pressure, which helps stabilize solids, halftones and color-to-color transfer. |
| 3. Consistent print length | Reduced sinking and movement help limit pressure-related print-length variation during longer runs. |
| 4. Repositionable installation | A controlled adhesive system allows alignment correction during application and helps reduce wrinkles, bubbles and trapped dust. |
| 5. Secure anti-slip performance | High shear hold and an optional matte anti-slip surface help prevent creeping beneath the plate or blanket. |
| 6. Cleaner removal | A balanced low-tack adhesive is designed to peel away cleanly, reducing residue and cylinder-cleaning time. |
| 7. Pressroom durability | PET construction supports resistance to tearing, swelling, common cleaning chemistry and press heat. |
| 8. Supply flexibility | Custom thickness combinations, cut sheets, slit rolls, lower-volume samples, OEM/ODM packaging and consolidated pressroom supply simplify purchasing. |
This benchmark summarizes public product positioning from leading suppliers. It is not an independent head-to-head laboratory test and should not be presented as proof that one product physically outperforms another.
| Decision factor | Leading-brand benchmark | Recommended FORDIA position |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensional stability | FOLEX, BIRKAN and Policrom emphasize calibrated polyester carriers and stable thickness.[1][3][5] | Match the technical baseline; add press-ready converting and thickness guidance. |
| Installation | FOLEX and Policrom emphasize repositioning and easier application.[1][5] | Offer release-liner quality, application instructions and sample kits by press model. |
| Anti-slip control | FOLEX H48-RB adds a matte anti-slip surface for blanket cylinders.[2] | Create a dedicated blanket-cylinder anti-slip series rather than one universal foil. |
| Removal & residue | FOLEX, BIRKAN and Policrom describe clean removal and reduced residue/cleaning.[1][3][5] | Make clean-removal behavior a release test and record cylinder-surface results. |
| Pressroom resistance | FOLEX and BIRKAN highlight resistance to solvents, cleaners, heat, tearing and swelling.[1][3][4] | Publish only verified solvent, thermal and swelling test methods and limits. |
| Range & formats | FOLEX and BIRKAN offer broad thickness ranges in sheets and/or rolls.[1][2][3][4] | Compete through custom slitting, sheets, mixed orders and distributor-friendly MOQs. |
| Service model | Large brands sell proven standardized portfolios through established channels. | Differentiate with faster technical response, OEM/ODM, packaging flexibility and bundled pressroom supply. |
