When we manufacture a print squeegee blade, everything starts with the material.
We create our own polyurethane sheets using centrifugal casting. The mould rotates as the liquid is poured, spreading the material evenly and removing air naturally. This gives us a sheet with consistent thickness, uniform hardness and no weak spots. Once the sheet has cured, we move to cutting. Unlike stamped blades, which can leave torn or compressed edges, we cut every blade to size with precision.Cutting keeps the structure intact and produces a perfectly straight working edge.
A clean edge means cleaner print lines. It means better contact with the screen, more accurate ink transfer and a blade that wears evenly over time. Every blade is then checked before it leaves the factory. Centrifugal casting for consistency. Precision cutting for a cleaner edge. That is what gives our squeegee blades their stability, accuracy and long service life.
