Soft pack blanket on the press

Softer packing feel for uncoated and stationery stocks. These fixtures keep blanket and packing cells honest when the press already owns the floor. Order through print@ with the press model and packing gauge. We prefer clear photos of the current packing height.

Pair with Blanket Cylinder Pack when you are retrofitting one bay. Spares cadence lives under the Pressroom Spares Kit and the resources schedule card.

Measure packing before you order. Guessing thicknesses is how blankets sit in a cupboard for six months. Coastal plants should store blankets in tubes after humid weeks so crease set does not creep in.

Fit checks we run

Email print@offsetprinter.co.za with the press model. We reply from Montague Gardens during weekday power windows. Prefered photos are side-on packing shots with a gauge in frame.

When this fixture is the wrong buy

If your press still runs soft packing on every solids job, a firm solids blanket may help more than another wash kit. If storage is the real problem, buy the tubes before another blanket. We will say so. Scope creep on fixtures is how bay floors get cluttered.

Read the paired Makeready note on packing and the Resources packing log. Operated by Astros Marketing (Pty) Ltd from Sunnyrock 1401. Mailto only.

South African packing habits we keep

Highveld dust settles into cylinder gaps faster than coastal crews expect. Coastal humidity softens packing overnight. Load-shedding truncates wash windows. We write blankets for those three realities, not for a catalogue studio.

Prefered practice is to photograph the packing gauge beside the blanket before and after a coastal week. Email print@offsetprinter.co.za with both photos if packing feels soft without a clear cause. We would rather recieve a half-complete note than a polished story that hides the gauge number.

Browse Blanket Cylinder Pack and Runs when the fixture points back to a weekly sequence. Keep the bay card short. Keep the storage tube labelled. That is enough for most commercial presses in this country.
