Slitting converts master rolls of adhesive tapes and specialty materials into narrower rolls based on specific width requirements. This allows standard materials to be adapted to the dimensions required for manufacturing, assembly, or further converting.
MPI Matco can slit a range of pressure-sensitive tapes, foams, films, foils, and other flexible materials into custom roll widths
Our Slitting Capabilities
Our state-of-the-art tape slitters are digitally-controlled, handling rolls up to 12″ in diameter with ease. The robust construction of our equipment allows efficient cutting of denser materials, including challenging polyesters, polyimides, and foil tapes. This capability sets us apart, as we tackle a wider range of materials compared to others who may focus on lighter-weight materials like paper or foam tapes
Lathe Slitting
(Roll Slitting)
Lathe Slitting (Roll Slitting)
Ideal for converting logs into narrower rolls, our lathe slitting provides clean, precise edges with tight tolerances. This method is perfect for pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, foams, and films that require smooth edges for effective application.
Rewind Slitting
Rewind Slitting
Our rewind slitting allows master rolls to be slit and rewound into multiple narrower rolls, ensuring accurate widths and uniform roll tension. This process is ideal for large production runs requiring multiple slit sizes.
Precision in Every Cut
Our lathe-style slitters deliver unparalleled precision, aligning the carriage and blade digitally for consistently accurate cuts. This technology significantly outperforms manual slitters that depend on visual estimations. Our ability to create multiple widths in a single job setup leads to faster slitting and reduced lead times, an essential feature when diverse options from the same material are required.
What Are Your Width Requirements?
MPI Matco offers slitting solutions for widths ranging from as narrow as 0.125″ up to 60″. Our team is ready to help you define the exact widths required for optimal performance.
Have a unique spec or ultra-narrow requirement? Let’s talk—we’re equipped to handle custom jobs with precision and care.

FAQs About Our Slitting Services
Tape slitting is the process of cutting wide rolls of adhesive materials into narrower rolls to match specific application requirements.
We can slit tapes to widths as narrow as 0.125” (3 mm) depending on material type. Contact us for your specific width requirements.
We slit a wide range of adhesive tapes, foams, films, foils, and specialty materials.
Yes, our slitting capabilities allow us to produce multiple custom widths from a single master roll efficiently.
Our digitally-controlled slitters and lathe-style slitters are designed for high precision, allowing us to achieve consistent widths and clean edges with every cut. We monitor the slitting process closely to maintain quality standards.
Yes! We can provide samples of our slit tape for your evaluation before you commit to a larger order. This allows you to ensure that our product meets your specifications.
When contacting us, please include information such as material type, desired widths, quantities needed, any specific customization requests, and your expected timeline. This will help us provide you with the most accurate quote and service options.
