Manufacturing and Assembly Converting Solutions
Many of our converting services integrate automation for precise, efficient manufacturing, cutting, and adhesive application. All of our automated solutions are designed to help our customers minimize the risks of bottlenecks, delays, and complex supply chains and bring products to market faster.
Automation Solutions
Automation improves quality control, order fulfillment time, and production costs. Some examples of the benefits of automated converting, manufacturing, and assembly at TCP Converting include:
- Removing adhesive die-cuts from their backing and applying them in the right position and orientation without bubbles or wrinkles.
- Double-coated tape automated application capabilities.
- Automatically applying adhesives to the right place on components and surfaces for fast assembly and processing.
- Unrolling and rerolling products with new inserts or interleaving materials between the layers of substrate.
- High-precision rerolling onto thinner cores and with finer materials, lines, and spacing specifications.
Not only can automation lead to cost-saving efficiencies, but it also opens the door to entirely new combinations and configurations of converted materials. What’s more, die-cut tapes improve manufacturing production.
Assembly Aids
They are used for everything from permanent fasteners to temporary assembly aids. Applications vary widely and there are multiple types of PSAs to choose from, providing varying levels of adhesion under different types and amounts of stress.
Our Services
TPC Converting is a full-service provider of industrial materials converting and product assembly services. Since 1967, our company has invested in the newest technologies and processes in converting to bring our customers superior materials, tapes, and packaging solutions.
Die Cutting
Die cutting is an efficient way to produce large quantities of identical cutouts from roll or sheet material, with or without adhesive backing. We can produce simple or complex shapes in a variety of sizes and volumes. For custom cutouts, our team provides in-house die design and manufacturing. In addition to unbacked die cuts, we can also provide them with precision-cut liners or extended liners.
Laminating
As part of our roll stock converting capabilities, we offer lamination. This process applies a layer of film that protects the surface of the substrate, and also strengthens it. We have the ability to Corona treat surfaces to improve adhesion as part of the lamination process. Lamination services include:
- Applying liners or custom coatings to pressure-sensitive materials.
- Laminating roll stock to provide a reliable barrier during shipping or storage.
- Laminating adhesive-backed liners so they’re ready for bonding and assembly.
Slitting and Rewinding
We use advanced slitting and rewinding equipment for high-speed roll to roll converting. This process is useful for turning large rolls of material into narrower, shorter, or smaller rolls that are easier to handle and sized appropriately for various applications. Processing bulk roll material in this way can also simplify product distribution and cut down on costs.
Sheeting and Stacking
We can convert and stack foam, film, paper, and tape materials into bundles for different applications. Our automated equipment can cut sheets to a range of dimensions, within close tolerances.
Value-Added Services
TPC Converting provides vertically integrated, value-added services for a one-stop solution for our customers. This includes converting, die cutting, assembly, and on-time inventory management that can simplify your supply chain, keep your lead times short, and make project management easier than juggling multiple vendors.
Materials
Companies across multiple industries choose TPC Converting because we work with a wide range of materials used for industrial manufacturing applications. These include, but are not limited to:
- Adhesives.
- Fabric and mesh.
- Film and plastic.
- Foam.
- Foil.
- Nonwoven materials.
- Paper.
- Rubber.
- Tapes.
- Thermal management materials.
We also validate and test materials to ensure they are suitable for various converting, die cutting, laminating, and other processes. This helps us reduce waste and determine optimal processing for each project.
