Cold and hot cutting service for webbing tapes

Custom webbing tape cutting is a practical solution for companies, workshops and manufacturers that need ready-cut tape sections prepared for further production. We offer both cold cutting and hot cutting of webbing tapes, depending on the type of material, intended use and expected finish of the tape ends.

Cutting webbing tapes to size helps speed up production, reduce waste, maintain repeatable lengths and prepare elements ready for sewing, fitting hardware, welding or further processing. It is a convenient service for customers who want to receive tapes already prepared in specific lengths — from short sections to larger production runs.

The service can include single orders, short runs, production sets and large quantities of tapes cut according to an agreed specification.

Production options

Webbing tape cutting can be adapted to the type of tape, expected length, quantity and further use of the product.

Available options include:

• cold cutting of webbing tapes,
• hot cutting of webbing tapes,
• cutting tapes to a specified length,
• preparing short and long sections,
• cutting according to one length or several different lengths,
• preparing production sets,
• handling small, medium and large production runs,
• cutting tapes for further sewing, assembly or packaging,
• repeatable cutting of elements according to the customer’s guidelines.

This allows tapes to be prepared precisely for the production of backpacks, bags, dog leashes, harnesses, belts, covers, outdoor accessories, technical products or pet accessories.

Cold cutting of webbing tapes

Cold cutting involves mechanically cutting the tape to the selected length. This method works well for materials that do not require thermal sealing of the ends, or when the next production stage includes sewing, folding, edging, fitting hardware or another type of edge finishing.

Cold cutting can be a good choice for:

• tapes that will be sewn later,
• elements sewn into a product,
• sections intended for further finishing,
• tapes whose ends will be covered or secured in the next stage,
• products where fast preparation of sections for further production is important.

It is a simple and effective method of preparing tapes for further processing.

Hot cutting of webbing tapes

Hot cutting is performed using a heated blade, which cuts the tape and seals the end at the same time to help prevent fraying. This is a very practical method for synthetic tapes such as polyester, polypropylene or polyamide.

Hot cutting is especially useful when the end of the tape needs to be neatly secured already at the cutting stage.

Advantages of hot cutting:

• cutting and sealing the end at the same time,
• reduced tape fraying,
• neater edge finish,
• preparation of sections ready for further production,
• good repeatability of lengths,
• faster work with larger production runs.

This method is especially recommended for tapes used for dog leashes, collars, harnesses, straps, tie-downs, belts, handles, hangers and technical accessories.

Service applications

Custom webbing tape cutting works well in many industries and production types. Ready-cut tape sections can be used in textile, technical, sports, outdoor, leathercraft and pet products.

The service can be used in the production of:

• backpacks,
• bags,
• pouches,
• waist bags,
• covers,
• harnesses,
• dog leashes,
• dog collars,
• dog harnesses,
• transport straps,
• compression straps,
• tie-down straps,
• handles,
• bag straps,
• hangers,
• key rings,
• survival accessories,
• EDC accessories,
• military accessories,
• sports and outdoor products.

This service is useful wherever repeatability, accuracy and preparation of tape for further assembly are important.

Who is the webbing tape cutting service for?

The webbing tape cutting service is suitable for, among others:

• backpack manufacturers,
• bag and pouch manufacturers,
• companies producing harnesses,
• leathercraft workshops,
• workshops sewing covers,
• transport strap manufacturers,
• outdoor brands,
• sports accessory manufacturers,

Why outsource webbing tape cutting?

Cutting tapes in-house in larger quantities can be time-consuming and difficult to maintain in repeatable quality. By outsourcing custom tape cutting, you receive elements prepared according to agreed guidelines.

Key benefits:

• time savings,
• better length repeatability,
• the option to prepare large quantities of sections,
• a neat finish with hot cutting,
• reduced fraying of tape ends,
• preparation of tapes for further production,
• lower risk of errors during manual measuring,
• the possibility of preparing sets according to the customer’s specification.

This is especially important in serial production, where repeatability, work pace and convenience of further assembly matter.

Preparation of production sets

We can prepare sets of tapes according to specified lengths and quantities. This is a good solution for companies producing specific product models that need ready-made sets of elements for sewing or assembly.

Example options:

• one length in a large quantity,
• several lengths within one order,
• tape sets for a specific product,
• complete element sets for leashes, harnesses or backpacks,
• tape sections described according to the specification,
• production series prepared for the next stage of work.

This solution improves production organisation and reduces the time needed to prepare material on the customer’s side.

Types of tapes

The possibility of cutting depends on the type of tape, its width, thickness and material. Most often, the service applies to synthetic tapes used in the production of functional accessories.

The following tapes can be cut, among others:

• webbing tapes,
• polyester tapes,
• polypropylene tapes,
• polyamide tapes,
• tubular webbing,
• technical tapes,
• tapes for dog leashes and collars,
• tapes for bags, backpacks and covers,
• tapes for belts, tie-downs and outdoor accessories.

The cutting method should be selected based on the type of material and the expected end finish.

Frequently asked questions

Can I order webbing tapes cut to a specific size?

Yes. Tapes can be cut according to the lengths provided by the customer.

Do you offer hot cutting?

Yes. Hot cutting is possible using a heated blade, which cuts the tape and seals the end against fraying at the same time.

What is the difference between cold cutting and hot cutting?

Cold cutting involves mechanically cutting the tape. Hot cutting additionally seals the end, because the heated blade melts the material edge and reduces fraying.

Can several different lengths be prepared in one order?

Yes. It is possible to prepare sections in several lengths according to the customer’s specification.

Do you handle large production runs?

Yes. We can prepare both small quantities and larger production runs, from a few pieces up to thousands of pieces.

Can you prepare sets for a specific product?

Yes. It is possible to prepare tape sets according to specified lengths and quantities, for example for backpacks, leashes, harnesses, belts or covers.

Can every tape be hot cut?

Hot cutting works best with synthetic tapes such as polyester, polypropylene or polyamide. The choice of method depends on the material and the expected result.

What does the service price depend on?

The price depends, among other things, on the quantity, type of tape, number of lengths, cutting method, tape width and the need for sorting or preparing sets.
