Vastex Clamp-On Side Clamp — Secure Screens, Fast

A screen that slips mid-run ruins prints. The Vastex Clamp-On Side Clamp Attachment gives your manual press a fast, secure way to hold screens with consistent pressure, so alignment stays put through the job. Its clamp-on design installs and removes quickly with no tools and no permanent modifications to the press — perfect for shops that swap screens frequently and want dependable retention without a fixed setup. Three sizes cover different frames.

Why a Better Screen Clamp

Inconsistent clamping is a quiet cause of registration drift and wasted garments — if the screen shifts even slightly, the print follows. A dedicated side clamp delivers consistent holding pressure that keeps the screen locked and aligned, and because it clamps on and off fast, you get that stability without slowing down screen changes. For high-mix shops running lots of different jobs, it streamlines the whole manual workflow.
