What Slitting Methods Does SpecTape Use and What Tolerance Can You Hold?
SpecTape uses razor and score knife slitting with a tolerance of ±1/32″. This level of precision ensures clean, consistent edges—critical for automated application systems and high-speed production lines.
What Is the Narrowest Width and Longest Length SpecTape Can Convert?
Narrowest width is 1/4″ (5 mm); spools can reach up to 20,000 FT depending on material thickness. Thin films and transfer tapes can be spooled to the full length, while thicker foam tapes are limited to maintain spool integrity and ease of handling.
Can SpecTape Do Rotary Die-Cutting? What Are the Key Specs?
Yes—SpecTape customizes any die-cutting solution with made-to-order dies for your application on a variety of presses. Whether you need kiss-cut labels, gaskets, or complex multi-layer parts, we design and fabricate tooling in-house to match your exact requirements.
Does SpecTape Offer Laminating?
Yes—SpecTape laminates non-adhesive materials to PSAs or bonds two to three adhesives together to create custom products. This opens the door to innovative tape constructions—like double-coated mounting tapes or protective film overlays—tailored to your performance needs.
What Spool-Winding, Perforating, and Sheeting Capabilities Does SpecTape Have?
Spool winding: 1/4″–1″ wide tapes up to 20,000 FT (longer for thin films, shorter for thick foams). Perforating: skip-slit lengthwise or cross-web perforation. These options are ideal for continuous-feed printers, dispensers, or easy-tear applications in packaging and assembly.
What Are SpecTape’s Typical MOQ and Lead Times for Custom Converting?
MOQs as low as one case of tape—far lower than most converters. This makes SpecTape the go-to partner for startups, R&D teams, and short-run production without the burden of large minimums.
