Kiss-Cutting - Foam and Nonwovens

PLI can custom-cut parts from most any material that can be bonded to an adhesive or tape. The process is similar to adhesive-backed labels. Foam arts are cut through the material and adhesive, to - but not through - the fabrication liner... a process known as kiss-cutting. Kiss-cut parts are often used for ease in removal of single parts on customer assembly line systems. PLI has the ability to kiss-cut parts of thick non-rigid, as well as thin gage metal materials that have adhesive two-sides; or multiple thickness laminations of two or more materials.

Precision rotary and flat-bed die-cutting press capacity enables us to manufacture large volume quantities of self-adhesive gaskets, washers and die-cut components, in continuous roll form. All "kiss-cut" to the self adhesive release paper.

In addition to die-cutting, PLI can perform the related adhesive laminating operations, including partial adhesive coverage and any required slitting processes. The edges of the release paper can be precision punched to permit the sprocket/pin feeding of the die-cut components from the roll and this permits the automated feeding of the components during final assembly.

Precision tooling creates the same part, repetitively, to tolerances as tight as .02".

PLI has the ability to custom laminate various material substrates together, you can create your own parts instead of being forced to utilize standard products.
