Converting Adhesive Tape:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The process of transforming a flexible material, adhesive or non-adhesive, into another form in order to solve a specific problem. <\/p>\n

The result of suitable materials, design, engineering, and manufacturing competence is a\u00a0die cut\u00a0shape or\u00a0specific size\u00a0roll suited to the customer\u2019s application, whose purpose is to save time and money through more efficient operations, as well as help businesses compete by improving their products.<\/p>\n

A well-equipped tape converter\u00a0<\/a>offers a variety of tape converting services for both pressure- and heat-sensitive adhesive and non-adhesive materials. Savvy converters utilize modern technology in their processes to service an increasing number of applications and markets. A considerate tape converter will\u00a0provide a much better\u00a0value to their clients by purchasing\u00a0adhesive material\u00a0in bulk and converting the materials into a custom-engineered part or product. Quality products are the combination of attention to detail, the skillful use of technology, and the practice of thoughtful customer service.<\/p>\n

Converted tape products<\/a> are used in multiple industries worldwide. Custom engineered and designed tape components are used in markets such as: automotive<\/a>,\u00a0aerospace<\/a>,\u00a0healthcare<\/a>,\u00a0industrial<\/a>,\u00a0construction<\/a>, electronics<\/a>, packaging<\/a>,\u00a0and textile <\/a>and fashion<\/a>. In the course of a typical day, a person will come into contact, in multiple instances, with an item employing a converted tape product.<\/p>\n

Converting flexible material requires specialized machinery and equipment to convert jumbo rolls of tape or other materials into specific size rolls, die-cut shapes or other component parts. Can-Do possesses a variety of equipment designed to perform specific functions in the conversion of pressure-sensitive adhesive and non-adhesive tape products. Specifically, our tool set includes tape-slitters, slitter\/rewinders, rotary die presses, steel rule die presses, laminators, sheeters, and printing presses. All of these machines provide extensive converting capabilities.<\/p>\n

Following are illustrations of the tape converting process:<\/h3>\n
