An expandable, hollow, cylindrical thin-walled composite sleeve for use in flexographic printing applications is provided including an optional polymeric resin base layer, at least one filament wound layer over the base layer, and at least one outer non-woven fibrous layer over the filament wound layer. The filament wound layer may comprise filament wound fibers such as fiberglass which are wound around the base layer or sleeve. The non-woven fibrous layer may be in the form of a fiberglass chopped strand mat. The layers provide desirable surface and reinforcement properties to the sleeve.
