FAQs
A key component of the manufacturing process, custom converting entails materials selection, die cutting, laminating, slitting, and a variety of other services for various industries and applications. Understand the basics of what we do at Advantage Converting and how we do it better.
Q: Can Advantage Converting help us develop a brand new solution for the green energy market?
Yes, we love to collaborate with our clients and pride ourselves on solving manufacturing challenges so that our clients can bring innovative solutions to market. Our many years of experience in process development allows us the flexibility to improve designs, evolve specifications, test new materials, and develop new processing methods for proofs of concept, and scale to production volumes.
Q: Given supply chain volatility, how can Advantage Converting help us maintain a stable supply of materials to enable continuous production of our EV and solar products?
With a staff dedicated to managing inventory systems and relationships with raw materials suppliers, Advantage 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. can reliably procure, warehouse, and convert materials for large volume products regardless of disruptions to the supply chain. We ensure continuous production by leveraging our extensive network of raw material suppliers to build up safety stock, and our multiple facilities provide production redundancy.
Q: Can Advantage Converting maintain the surface quality of my material while providing tight tolerance processing?
Advantage Converting understands the importance of maintaining the surface quality and integrity of materials used in the manufacturing of green energy solutions. We can maintain the surface and edge quality of materials while meeting tolerances of ±.004″ for slittingCutting a wide web into narrower rolls with controlled edge quality, winding tension, and roll build. and die cuttingDie cutting is a converting process that uses a shaped metal die or blade to cut flexible materials into precise shapes, components, or finished parts. This process is commonly used in roll-to-roll manufacturing to produce high-volume parts with consistent accuracy., often times even tighter. Or proprietary methods ensure a flat edge, thereby avoiding rippling that is especially common in foils. We also provide clean room manufacturingClean room manufacturing refers to converting processes performed in controlled environments where airborne particles, temperature, and humidity are regulated to prevent contamination. for materials that require environmental controls.
