A high-performance polymer blade with a specialized tip for fine metering, delivering steel-like precision with the safety and flexibility of synthetics. Ideal for printers who want better control without the risks of metal blades.
TruPoint PlasTeel
A rigid synthetic blade engineered for containment or moderate metering. Offers chemical durability and reduced anilox wear, especially in medium-pressure environments. Reliable performance for solids, tone work, and general applications.
E-Series (Polyester)
A durable polyester blade known for low roller wear and consistent performance. A safe, stable choice for mid-speed printing environments where operator safety and clean transfer matter most.
P-Series (UHMW)

Built from ultra-high molecular weight polymer, this blade is designed for extended life and safe handling. A flexible and reliable option for printers focused on long runs and low-maintenance performance.

Plastic Blades for Containment
