Abstract: A photosensitive printing plate having a thickness of about 3 mm can be readily used on a printing machine set for use with a photosensitive printing plate having a thickness of about 7 mm. There is provided a flexographic printing pad which facilitates combined use of a photosensitive printing plate having a thickness of about 7 mm and that having a thickness of about 3 mm, enables an improvement in ease of replacement of a photosensitive printing plate, and ensures a high printing characteristic. A base sheet 1 serving a flexographic printing pad has a magnet section 10, a cushion section 20, and a polyester film 30. The magnet section 10 and the cushion section 20 are arranged side by side in the same layer. One surface of the magnet section 10 and that of the cushion section 20 are bonded to the polyester film 30.
