Most customers who come to Pepin Manufacturing for the first time have the material, width, and adhesive dialed in. Core size, roll diameter, and packaging? Those come up later, sometimes after the rolls arrive, and do not fit the equipment. Core sizes, roll diameters, and packaging are not afterthoughts in flexible material converting. They determine […]

Precision Slitting for Adhesive Tapes and Films

A close-up of an industrial machine with blue plastic film being unrolled and processed through several metal rollers in a factory setting, showcasing contract converting and slitting in industrial manufacturing.

Adhesive tapes and films leave little room for error during conversion. Rolls with inconsistent widths, rough edges, or adhesive bleed do more than look flawed. They can jam equipment, introduce defects, and create costly production delays. That is why precision slitting is one of the most tolerance-sensitive processes in flexible material converting. Adhesive-backed materials react […]
