Tape Converting & Die-Cutting Services

Slitting, rewinding, lamination, flat-bed and rotary die-cutting, laser cutting, kitting and private-label programs — from jumbo rolls to parts that arrive ready for assembly.

What this page covers

Buying a converting service, not a machine

Five converting services cover the distance between a roll of tape and a part your line can install: slitting, die-cutting, lamination, private-label programs and application engineering. They are described here the way a buyer needs them, with the specification items that get confirmed, what to send, how the result is inspected and how it ships.

Converting services

One plant, five ways to convert

We choose the route based on shape, tolerance, material and volume, and quote tooling separately so you can compare options.

Outputs

What leaves the plant, and what has to be settled first

Each route ends in a different deliverable, so the questions that have to be answered before a quotation differ too.

Converting routeWhat you receiveDecided before quoting
Die cuttingParts on liner ready to place, with a first-article record measured against your drawing.The tolerance source, the tooling route, and how the part is presented to the line.
Slitting & rewindingRolls to the width, core and winding direction your applicator or dispenser expects.Width and core, unwind direction, splice and telescope rules for the machine that consumes it.
LaminationA construction no single grade provides: adhesive face, functional layer, core or barrier, slit to size.Layer order, which face carries the adhesive, and whether the liner survives the bond.
Private label & OEMFinished rolls in your packaging, with your artwork, labels and carton marking.Artwork approval, minimum quantity, and exactly what the label is allowed to claim.
Application engineeringA shortlist with a test plan, the reason each option fits and what would rule it out.The two substrates, the load, the environment and the failure mode you cannot accept.
Ordering

How a converting order runs

One path for a prototype and for a repeating part: the specification is agreed, the sample proves it, and the record stays on the work order.

StepWhat happens
Describe the outcomeThe part, the joint, the pack or the shelf presentation you need, with the drawing, sample or brand grade you hold today.
Confirm the specificationMaterial, dimensions, tolerance, liner, presentation, packing and the documents that have to travel with the order.
Approve a sampleFirst article or pre-production sample against the stated specification, with the record that supports your approval.
Run and releaseProduction with in-process checks, batch records and outgoing inspection tied to the approved reference.
Reorder without re-arguingThe approved construction, setup and inspection scope stay on the work order, so repeat supply is matched against documentation.

Machine counts and process capability are stated on the factory page; each service page lists the specification items it settles before quoting.

Process

From drawing to production

The same four steps apply to a sample and to a repeating order.

Drawing review

PDF, DXF, STEP or a dimensioned photo. We check tolerance, material and liner.

Tooling choice

Flat-bed, rotary, laser or CNC, selected for shape, volume and cost.

First article

A production-representative sample with dimensional inspection.

Production

In-process checks, batch traceability and export packing.

Product families these services convert

The route is chosen with the material in mind: a foam does not behave like a transfer tape or a foil under the same blade.

FAQ

Questions before you send a drawing

Where the service boundary sits, where the plant figures on this page come from, and how a part stays the same between orders.

Can one order include several services?
Yes, and that is normal: a laminate built for the construction, slit to the width your applicator takes, die-cut to your drawing and packed as sequence kits. One order and one set of batch records is the reason buyers put the whole chain with one converter rather than three.
Where do the machine counts on this page come from?
They are the same figures stated on the factory and about pages: eight slitting lines, six rewinding lines and four die-cutting lines, with laser and CNC cutting behind them. If a number on this site disagrees with the plant page, the plant page is the one to ask us about.
Do you quote a service on its own?
Yes, as toll converting, when you supply the material. The limits travel with it: incoming material variation is outside our control, so the report says what the material did rather than promising what the datasheet claimed.
Which converting service does a part that will not feed need?
Usually the presentation rather than the cut: how the liner is slit, which side the part sits on, the tension it unwinds at and how it is stacked. Send a short video of the failure and the part dimensions, and the die-cutting page explains which route fixes it and what to change first.
How does a converted part stay the same from one order to the next?
The approved construction, tooling route, liner presentation and inspection scope stay on the work order, and each batch is released against that record. Any change to material, tooling or packing is treated as an approval event rather than a quiet substitution.

Send a drawing. We will quote the part, not just the material.

Include material or performance requirements, annual quantity and destination. We will confirm tolerance, tooling and lead time.
