A printing sleeve including a nickel sleeve having an inner surface and an outer surface and opposite end portions and opposite ends, and hard rubber rims bonded to the outer surface at the end portions and having rim portions extending beyond the opposite ends of the nickel sleeve and bonded thereto, and inner surfaces on the rim portions which are substantially in line with the inner surface of the nickel sleeve. A method of bonding a hard rubber rim onto each end of a nickel printing sleeve comprising the steps of applying an adhesive to each end and end portion of the sleeve, inserting a plug into each end of the sleeve, winding an unvulcanized rubber strip around each end portion of the sleeve and onto the play, and heating each rubber strip to cause it to cure and bond to the end portion of the sleeve.
