Roll Slitting Capabilities
Single Rolls
Pres-On can manufacture high-quality tape rolls. Rolls can be delivered with a width as thin as 3/16” and as large as 63″ wide. Roll length can vary based on the thickness and type of the material. Pres-On ensures precise and consistent cutting of foam tapes during the production process. Whether for sealing, cushioning, or bonding applications, Pres-On’s foam tape rolls offer durable and reliable solutions for various industries. With a commitment to product excellence, Pres-On continues to be a leading provider of foam tape rolls that meet the diverse needs of its clients.
Common Core
A common core is when material slit into multiple tape rolls onto a shared core. The common core allows for efficient handling and storage of the tape rolls with materials that are cut to a thin width. Thin tapes have a higher tendency to unravel or collapse during transportation or storage. However, the common core provides essential support to prevent this collapsing. By keeping the sides of the tape supported and secured, the common core ensures that the tape remains intact and ready for use. This makes them an ideal choice for a variety of industries, including manufacturing, packaging, and logistics.
Roll Widths and Lengths
Roll Widths
Pres-On manufactures rolls of foam rolls at various thicknesses. Depending upon the type of material, a roll can have a width as large as 63″. Most materials can be cut to a width as small as 3/16″.
Roll Lengths
Pres-On can produce rolls of various lengths. However, the maximum length a roll is determined by the thickness and type of material. These two factors affect the roll diameter. Roll diameters can be as small as 6″ and as large as 23″. Because a roll can vary so dramatically, Pres-On does not have a standard roll length. If a specific length is needed for a project, Pres-On can supply that custom length upon request

Types of Roll Slitting
Roll Lathe Slitting
Lathe slitting, also known as bologna (or baloney) slitting, is a common method used to create custom-sized rolls of tape. It involves selecting a large log roll of material, spinning it at a high speed, and slicing it into the needed widths using a blade. This process quickly creates slit rolls in specific, non-standard widths to meet application needs.
Precision Slitting
Precision slitting is a method of cutting or slitting material into narrower widths with a high degree of accuracy and consistency. It involves using advanced machinery and tools, such as slitter blades with sharp edges and precise settings, to ensure that the material is cut accurately and cleanly. Precision slitting is important for ensuring the quality and performance of the final product, as materials that are cut inaccurately or with uneven edges can lead to issues such as product defects, waste, and production delays. This method is often used in industries where high-quality, uniform rolls of material are required for further processing or distribution.
