We slit UHMW, PTFE and PTFE-impregnated glass cloth tapes to the width you need, in1 mm steps. Slitting is done in our own shop rather than subcontracted, so the minimum order is one roll.

Custom widths ship within 5 business days. In practice most recent orders left within 2 business days; we confirm the date when we quote, once the width, quantity and stock position are known.

Similar tapes are sold on online catalogue sites, but ordering directly from us can come to around half the listed price in some cases. Prices depend on width, length and quantity, so we confirm them in a quotation (same day at the earliest).

Widths can be specified from 4 mm, in 1 mm steps. That includes widths that are not in the catalogue, and cases where the standard product would force you to buy more than you need.The photo shows PO Tape slit to several widths.

WIDTHS

Standard widths and custom widths

Our standard widths come from inch sizes, which is why the list reads 19, 25, 38 and 51 mm. A width that is not on that list can still be made.

ORDER FLOW

How an order runs

  1. STEP 1

    Send us the conditions

    Product or application, width, length and quantity. If the product, width or length is not decided yet, say so and describe the application instead.

  2. STEP 2

    We quote

    We come back with a price and a lead time based on the width and quantity. Questions are easiest to settle at this stage.

  3. STEP 3

    We slit and ship

    Slitting is done in house. Every roll, including custom widths, is inspected before it leaves us.

Tell us what you need

Product or application, width, length and quantity are what we need to quote. Any of them can be left open — describe where the tape will be used, what is going wrong and the temperature, and we will suggest a grade.
