Innovative concept Personalization Laser engravable blanket (DLE) for high resolution Laser engravable blanket BCB Advanced Construction: Extra thick engravable surface in different elastomer

11 Innovative concept Personalization Laser engravable blanket (DLE) for high resolution Laser engravable blanket BCB Advanced Construction: Extra thick engravable surface in different elastomer versions Superb engraving results (high resolution) with CO ² and fibre lasers Strong embedded fabric provides high durabilty The compressible layer enables a smooth ink laydown with high density Gauge-calibrated mylar foil minimizes elongation and gauge loss Available in 1,97mm (self-adhesive) and other gauges - on request! Surface: Microground surface (5-7 µm) with high gauge precision Different elastomer technologies engineered to guarantee high abrasion and swelling resistance Surface tension harmonized with elastomer plates Space for Sender Information 21 November

12 Innovative concept Personalization Why? The advantages of ContiTech s Advanced process Concept Advanced process Today: Individual designs can be printed but need to be sorted after printing (high costs) Advanced process : Depending on can size, several individual designs can be printed (>6) in just 1 process and don t need to be sorted Design technology: reverse / negative types and designs have to be used Space for Sender Information 21 November

13 ECO friendliness in using elastomer plates & blankets Classic process vs. ContiTech s Advanced process Classic process: Conti LaserLine CML plate: 100% solvent & chemical free Conti LaserLine BCB Classic blanket: 80% solvent free Advanced process: Conti LaserLine CML plate: 100% solvent & chemical free Conti LaserLine BCB Advanced blanket: 100% solvent free Space for Sender Information 21 November
