We offer clean room slitting and rewinding capabilities for sensitive materials and products, including medical, electronics and aerospace applications. Our state-of-the-art, clean rooms comply with ISO 8/Class 100,000 and ISO 7/Class 10,000 manufacturing guidelines.
Our Precision Slitting and Rewinding Services
Our team can complete a wide range of precision slitting processes with unwinding and rewinding capabilities based on specific material types and conversion requirements, including edge quality and tolerance. We specialize in different core materials, thicknesses and sizes and can handle your most complex slitting and rewinding conversion needs, including substrates outside our core capabilities.
Depending on the material, we can slit as narrow as 0.5 millimeters and as wide as 76 inches. Typical roll inside diameters we slit are 1, 3 and 6 inches. However, we can do custom jobs with any size cores. Tolerances of ±.004 inches are standard, and tighter tolerances are possible.

FAQs
Q: What is precision slitting?
Precision slitting is the process of cutting a roll of material into specified lengths and widths.
Advantage Converting uses a variety of advanced precision slitting equipment and techniques that allow us to meet a wide range of specifications for size, shape, application, and volume needs. For example, we have precision slit ultra-thin copper (4-10 microns) for advanced lithium batteries as well as large master rolls of proprietary polymers — and everything in between.
Q: What materials can be slit?
A variety of materials can be slit. These materials include papers, films, foils, foams, adhesives, and nonwoven materials.
Advantage Converting leverages years of experience and expertise to evaluate the material and best match the slitting technique and process for the highest quality results.
Q: Can Advantage Converting meet ultra-narrow slitting width requirements?
While slitting specifications are very dependant on the raw material input, Advantage Converting has slit down to .020″ width on single-sided pressure-sensitive adhesives and films.
