Abstract: To provide a cushioning material for flexographic printing in which an adhesive strength between the cushioning material and an adhesive increases when adhesion processing is performed on the cushioning material, and hence no adhesive remains on an adherend such as a printing cylinder when a printing plate is peeled off from the adherend. The cushioning material for flexographic printing includes a polyurethane foam produced by using a reactive silicone foam stabilizer. The reactive silicone foam stabilizer used for producing the polyurethane foam has an SiO % preferably in the range of 10 to 25%. The polyurethane foam has a density preferably in the range of 0.1 to 0.7 g/cm3 and a bubble fraction of 60% or less.
