Lathe slitting
Converting pressure sensitive tape
Slitting of adhesive and non-adhesive coated materials to custom widths.
Lathe slitting
All types of self-adhesive and non-adhesive materials can be slit to your specification on our lathe slitting equipment. Whether standard or non-standard widths, these processes are often the first step in production prior to die cutting, lamination, or printing. By lathe slitting on the original core without rewinding, widths down to 3mm can be achieved and low volume orders can be undertaken.
MAXIMUM LOG WIDTH: 1600mm
MAXIMUM LOG DIAMETER: 500mm
MINIMUM SLIT WIDTH: 3mm

- Sizing tailored to your needs can reduce waste
What are the benefits of Rewind Slitting?
- Parts can be customized
- Reduction in your production process
- Bulk buying of materials can reduce cost
What is the minimum slit width?
- Our minimum slit width is 3mm. Wider slit widths, the material becomes more stable.
What type of slitting is best for the material?
- Shear: A male and female rotary knife
- Razor: A razor blade that cuts “in-air” or “in-groove”
