What is the Slitting and Rewinding Process?
Slitting and rewinding is a precision converting method used to cut large rolls of material into narrower widths and then rewind them onto smaller, more manageable rolls. During rewind slitting, a master roll is unwound and fed through a press, which slits the material to narrower widths. Once slit, the material is rewound onto new cores for use in manufacturing applications or other purposes. Often paired with kiss cutting or rotary die cutting to produce high-quality results, slitting and rewinding are cost-effective methods for creating precision products to custom specifications.Slitting and Rewinding Capabilities and Materials

Baloney Roll Slitting Services
Baloney slitting, also known as log slitting, is a shearing process that converts a large master roll into narrow rolls by driving a rotating blade into the log. Once the material is completely slit through the supporting 3" core, the spools are removed from the mandrel. Precision baloney slitting can be used for materials with or without adhesive backing. Key benefits of baloney slitting include:- Compatible with adhesive and non-adhesive materials
- Ideal for high-volume converting projects
- Supports material widths up to 72"
- Produces precise, repeatable cuts
