In a market context such as the current one, what were the main challenges you faced in 2024 and what were the most important objectives achieved?

In a changing market scenario, especially with the shift towards sustainability, our challenge has been to support our customers in this path, with solutions increasingly adapted to their needs while maintaining the same quality they were accustumed to.

What product lines are you working on that you intend to promote as a priority over the next year?

We will introduce several innovations in 2025, both in the flexographic printing and corrugated cardboard sectors. Among the main ones, a new paper-based tear tape, present at Print4ALL, thinner than the previous solution launched two years ago and well received by the market, for an even more efficient and sustainable opening of packages.

At Print4ALL 2025, tesa focus on three main areas of application: plate mounting solutions, corrugated board design tapes and splicing tapes, both static and flying.

As part of the solutions for plate mounting, we highlight the wide range of our assortment, the most complete in the industry. Thanks to the variety of liners, backings, adhesives and foams in the tesa® Softprint assortment of plate mounting tapes, we can meet every specific need in the printing arena. In addition, there is also tesa® Twinlock, our innovative self-adhe­sive, compressible and reusable sleeve. This solution represents the most sustainable alternative for plate mounting, completely eliminating the use and waste of adhesive tapes and liners during production. With tesa® Twinlock, printers can achieve their sustainability goals without compromising on the quality of the final print.

For the corrugated cardboard sector, our paper-based solutions for opening, closing and reinforcing boxes are the absolute protagonists. Made with FSC® certified paper, these solutions seamlessly integrate with pack­aging, enabling the creation of mono-material solutions and simplifying the recycling process. Our paper-based tapes have successfully passed the CEPI and Ingede Method tests, conducted by the German Institute PTS, confirming their suitability for recycling, without the need for separation from the cardboard. In addition, to strengthen our involvement in the corrugated card­board supply chain, we are sponsoring and actively participating in the Corrugated Experience event, a panel entirely dedicated to the sector within Print4ALL.
