What is Converting
We admit, converting can be a broad and sometimes confusing topic. You’re not alone in thinking this way! Here is what we hope will be a helpful explanation of what we do, if you have any questions about converting, please contact us!
Converting Process
Advanced convertingConverting is the process of transforming raw materials—such as films, foils, papers, foams, fabrics, and adhesives—into finished or semi-finished products through specialized manufacturing processes. is a unique and complex process that combines flexible materials such as foams, plastics, and foils into new products. This is often done through roll-to-roll manufacturing.
Materials are unrolled and processed through specific machines (such as printing, die-cutting, laminating, and slittingCutting a wide web into narrower rolls with controlled edge quality, winding tension, and roll build. machines) in long, continuous sheets.
Then we heat, cut, slit, print, or laminate the materials, converting them into an intermediate or final form.
These sheets are then re-rolled in another machine for easy handling and transportation. This is where we get the name “Roll-to-Roll,” where materials begin in one roll and end in another. This method allows for efficient, continuous production.
