Tape Slitting and Other Special Services

Specialty Slitting:
Over 20 years of experience in lathe (normal), score and razor slitting tapes, adhesives, papers, films, foils, foams, etc.

Rewinding:
The method is for producing multiple cuts per cycle. This has a longer set-up time than baloney slitting. The process actually rewinds the material layer by layer across a set of pre-spaced knives and spacers, onto a rewind shaft that is set with pre-slit cores and spacers, with each individual slit roll wound on individual tension-controlled cores.

Scoring:
Creasing or bending line that assists subsequent usage.

Baloney Slitting:
The common method of slitting pressure sensitive tapes, producing rolls per step or per cycle. Also referred to as lathe slitting, lever or single-knife cutting. This process features quick-setup and economical per-slit cost.

Traverse Wound:
Also referred to as level winding, spool wound and reel wound.

Pancake Wound:
The typical form of a roll of tape where each layer is directly on top of the next one. Also referred to as planetary wound.

Self Wound or Single Wound:
Often used in reference to pressure sensitive tape when comparing them to linered tapes. Each subsequent layer has the exposed adhesive in direct contact with the backing of the previous layer.

Perforating:
Produces a series of cuts or holes that allows pieces to be continuous yet separate with ease along perforation.
