In the printing industry, quality, precision, and sustainability matter more than ever. This makes it all the more important to consider not only technological performance but also the origin and supply chains of key components such as printing plates. That is why Beltz Grafischen Betriebe in Bad Langensalza will be using printing plates from Germany going forward\u2014a conscious step toward greater climate protection and regional responsibility. <\/p>\n\n

Over the past few years, we have gained extensive experience with process-free plate technologies<\/a>. But now it was time to further optimize our processes\u2014with a clear focus on efficiency and sustainability<\/g>. After several weeks of intensive testing, one thing is clear: the new printing plates, manufactured in Germany, have won us over across the board\u2014technically, environmentally, and in terms of the values we stand for. <\/p>\n\n

In this blog post, we\u2019ll explain why this transition offers real added value not only for us but also for our customers\u2014and how it represents another step toward sustainable production.<\/p>\n\n

Why the switch? The decision to use German printing plates <\/h2>\n\n

After years of successfully working with process-free printing plates, Beltz Grafische Betriebe in Bad Langensalza<\/a> has now made a strategic decision: The existing plates will be replaced by a new solution manufactured in Germany. This change is no coincidence\u2014because in addition to technological factors, economic and environmental considerations also play a key role. <\/p>\n\n

A key factor was support for domestic industry. Instead of relying on products shipped from Asia, the printing plates are now sourced from German manufacturers. This not only significantly reduces shipping distances but also helps strengthen regional economic growth. <\/p>\n\n

The transition also offers advantages from a sustainability perspective: Shorter transport routes mean fewer emissions\u2014a factor that should not be underestimated on the path to more climate-friendly production. The change is therefore not a short-term reaction, but rather an expression of a long-term strategy: high-performance technology, sustainable processes, and a clear commitment to Germany as a business location. <\/p>\n\n

Tested, evaluated, and proven: Our experience with the new printing plates from Germany<\/h2>\n\n

Before making the final decision to switch, Beltz Grafische Betriebe conducted a trial period lasting several weeks. The goal was to put the new, process-free printing plates from Germany through their paces in practical use\u2014under real production conditions, with high standards for quality, stability, and efficiency. <\/p>\n\n

The result: consistently impressive<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

During our testing phase, the process-free printing plates from Germany performed well in several areas:<\/p>\n\n
