Precision Die Cutting & Formed Shapes

Bespoke Tooling, Complex Contours & Circular Discs

We can convert any of our non-woven textiles into custom profiles, apertures, contoured pads, and circular discs using dedicated roller presses and engineered press dies. Perfect for filtration seals, packaging cushions, acoustic insulation barriers, and upholstery components cut to exact client tolerances.

  • Bespoke Tooling: Custom-fabricated steel rule dies tailored precisely to your technical drawings and CAD specs.
  • Complex Geometric Profiles: Internal cut-outs, radiused corners, continuous channels, and circular discs.
  • Edge Cleanliness: High-compression roller cutting ensures sealed, neat edges without fraying or excessive fibre collapse.
  • Material Compatibility: Suitable for thermal bonded waddings, needled felts, air laid pads, and multi-ply laminates.

Guillotine Trimming & Slit Rolls / Strips

High-Volume Dimensional Slitting & Custom Sized Sheets

For rectangular, square, or linear formats, our high-capacity industrial guillotine cutting machines provide rapid, squared sheets and straight-edged strips. Eliminating manual in-house cutting, our converted sheets save manufacturing time and lower production waste across assembly lines.

  • Bulk Dimensional Slitting: Custom widths from narrow edge tapes and joint gaskets to wide sheets up to 2+ metres.
  • Tight Dimensional Tolerances: Heavy-duty mechanical clamping prevents shifting of high-loft batting during the cut.
  • Ready-to-Assemble Kits: Stacked, banded, and bagged in production-ready counts to streamline assembly lines.
