How this finishing option can save application time
So what is back slitting? It is a simple finishing process that can make a BIG difference in the application of your label or decal.
On our production floor, we back slit thousands of parts each day. This finishing process provides a cut through the back layer of material providing a "slit" that separates the label or decal from the liner or backing.
A back slit product speeds up the application process by:
- providing quick release of the liner: No fumbling or struggling trying to find an edge of the decal or label to remove the backing.
- faster positioning of decal: By removing one corner or edge of decal so that it can be "tacked" in place, ensuring the correct application location and placement.
ALG just recently purchased a fully automatic Back Slitter to produce quality products with a faster turnaround for our customers while providing different depths of cut, placements and number.
This new equipment will provide the following value to our customers:
- Streamlines the feeding process by automating it
- Handles longer sheets more effectively
- Provides opportunity to batch count product if requested
- Helps maintain run rates (no throughput drop off due to employee fatigue from constantly manually feeding a unit)
- Increase capacity
