Fast-Lok Tension Bands
If you're looking for tension bands for your printing applications, talk to Marvel Marking Products. Our Fast-Lok Mounting System facilitates printing at any scale. With more than 50 years of experience, exceptional technical expertise and a mindset of innovation, we develop products that make a difference.
Our bands are a print room necessity, helping to reduce vibrations, ensure smooth operation and extend printer life spans.
What Is a Tension Band?
A tension band provides a simple and affordable solution for fastening printing plate mounts to the cylinder while maintaining printing accuracy. Consistent tension enables smooth operation. Depending on the number of plates, the plate's size or the complexity of the project, you can use single or multiple bands.
Tension Bands for Printing
We offer two types of Fast-Lok Mounting Systems — standard and non-metallic. These products come in Style A (crimped on the female tag) and Style B (straight on both ends). Both are available in packages of 25 pieces.
Marvel's solutions have variable sizes with incremental markings. A special rubber compound provides better elongation, and a thinner clip ensures easier application to and removal from a press plate cylinder. You can also adjust the position of the Fast-Lok bands you've applied to a plate.
Here are the available sizes of our standard and non-metallic tension bands:
- 3" Fast-Lok (25/pk)
- 4 3/8" Fast-Lok (25/pk)
- 5" Fast-Lok (25/pk)
- 7" Fast-Lok (25/pk)
- 9" Fast-Lok (25/pk)
- 11" Fast-Lok (25/pk)
- 3" to 9" Non-Metallic Fast-Lok (24/pk)
- 5" to 11" Non-Metallic Fast-Lok (24/pk)
- 5" to 24" Non-Metallic Fast-Lok (12/pk)
Product Benefits
Our solutions have the following benefits:
- Better efficiency: Tension strips streamline printing, making it easy to increase efficiency. They also prevent the plate from skewing around, rendering it unusable.
- Reduced waste: A tension band allows you to correctly mount the printing plate on a cylinder. You can stretch the bands without applying excess force to the plate.
- Improved versatility: You can reuse bands to provide tension on other plates. Our bands work with a diverse range of printing plates.
