Durable Plastic Sheeting Services by CGS Tapes

Optimized & Industry-ready Solutions

For All Your Complicated Needs

The process of plastic sheeting involves converting a flexible material into flat, individual pieces/sheets. This allows for pieces to be precisely cut to the desired length as opposed to being wound on rolls. Due to the nature of the machine and the speed of the process, sheeting saves time and improves consistency in the material. We at CGS can provide customers with the alternative of pre-cut pieces along with rolls of material. Choosing CGS will ensure that there is no need for additional cutting, and sheeting provides an easy and simple way to handle large pieces of adhesive tapes and films.

Film Converting: Sheeting Plastic from Roll to Sheet

Film converting is the process of transforming large rolls of plastic film into manageable, flat sheet formats tailored for specific industrial or commercial use. During sheeting, continuous rolls of plastic—such as polyimide, PTFE, or polyester—are fed through precision equipment that cuts the material to desired lengths and widths, creating individual sheets.

This process offers several advantages:

Improved handling and storage
Customized dimensions for downstream manufacturing
Reduced waste during product fabrication
Enhanced product presentation and usability

Sheeted plastic films are widely used in applications like electronics insulation, printing, labeling, gasket production, and protective packaging.

Sheeted Materials

Sheeting is ideal for a variety of materials because of its efficiency, including:

Markets Served

Many industries benefit from the use of materials in sheet form, because it saves time and money. For example:

Electronics
Automotive
Medical
Specialty industries Manufacturing
Powder Coating
Aerospace

Benefits of Sheeting

Improved Handling and Storage

Plastic sheets are much easier to handle than bulky rolls. They can be stacked, boxed, or palletized neatly, reducing storage space and improving organization. This also minimizes the risk of damage from creasing, curling, or accidental unrolling, which can happen with film rolls.

Reduced Waste During Product Fabrication

When plastic film is converted into custom sheet sizes, it reduces excess trimming and off-cuts. This means less material waste, lower production costs, and a more sustainable operation. By delivering only what’s needed, sheeting helps optimize yield and reduce scrap.

Customized Dimensions for Downstream Manufacturing

Sheeting allows for precise control over the length and width of each piece, tailored to the end-user’s needs. Whether it’s for die-cutting, thermoforming, or CNC processing, having pre-cut sheets speeds up production and ensures compatibility with various manufacturing systems.

Enhanced Product Presentation and Usability

Sheet form offers a clean, flat presentation, which is especially important for customer-facing applications or when visual inspection is required (e.g. in electronics, medical, or packaging industries). Sheets are easier to count, inspect, and use immediately without additional setup.

Questions

What is roll-to-sheet converting?

Roll-to-sheet converting is the process of cutting plastic film or tape from large rolls into flat, manageable sheet sizes.

What materials can be converted into sheets?

Common materials include PTFE, polyimide (Kapton), PET, PVC, and other plastic films used in industrial, electrical, and packaging applications.

Why should I convert plastic rolls into sheets?

Sheeted materials are easier to store, handle, and use. They reduce waste and are often customized to fit specific manufacturing or product needs.

Do sheets affect material performance?

No, converting to sheet form retains the material’s original properties like temperature resistance,

Can I request custom sheet sizes?

Yes, most converters offer custom lengths, widths, and thicknesses to match your exact specifications.
