EasySplice® technology from tesa ensures optimized processes in newspaper printing
Nothing else is as old as yesterday’s newspaper. That’s why when it comes to printing newspapers, every minute is precious.
One major time factor is splicing the ends of rolls of paper together for offset printing. A continuous, safe production process demands that the webs be adhered together quickly and absolutely reliably. To ensure that the paper does not rip, time-intensive, complex adhesion patterns were traditionally necessary.

Highest degree of safety even at high print speeds
Defective splices are costly
Machine breakdowns, additional man-hours, and loss of materials can run as high as 25,000 euros per breakdown. With its EasySplice® Fastline technology, tesa has developed a tailored solution for splicing that offers the highest degree of safety even at high print speeds and thereby reduces costs.
The tape is structured in such a way that all the user has to do is tape it in a straight line. This reduces the time spent on splicing by two-thirds, while at the same time making the splice more secure against tearing.
EasySplice® can be used for flying or static splices, taping the beginning or end of a roll, and for starting cores. Heat-activated films (HAF) were developed specifically for use under extreme temperature conditions. They ensure secure splicing even at high temperatures.
