Vertically Integrated Capabilities: Die Cutting and Converting Services
PLITEK® provides vertically integrated die cutting and converting services that enable clients to scale efficiently from concept to high volume production. By supporting design, material selection, and prototype development, we help streamline the development process and reduce time to market.
Backed by over 50 years of experience, PLITEK®’s vertically integrated capabilities are driven by a multidisciplinary engineering team that ensures every stage of development is optimized for manufacturability, performance, and scalability. From early-stage design validation to full-scale production, our integrated operations provide a seamless path to launch.
Key converting and manufacturing services include:
- ISO Class 8 Clean Room converting
- Precision rotary and flatbed die cutting
- Laser cutting for complex geometries
- Custom film extrusion
- Adhesive coating and custom release liners
By consolidating converting services under one roof, PLITEK® eliminates the need for multiple suppliers — reducing supply chain complexity while improving speed and consistency.
This fully integrated approach results in:
- Lower production costs
- Fewer quality control touchpoints
- Faster communication and turnaround times
- Streamlined logistics and vendor management
PLITEK®‘s vertically integrated converting capabilities have significantly reduced the need for multiple partners for our clients. As a result, saving them considerable time and resources. Our clients benefit from simplified operations, reduced risk, and a single point of accountability — saving considerable time and resources throughout the production cycle.
Here is an example illustrating this efficiency:
Case Study – Resin Supply Chain Issue:
A client was facing a critical supply chain disruption for their medical device due to long lead times on medical backer cards from an existing supplier, which severely impacted their delivery schedule. Leveraging PLITEK®’s vertically integrated capabilities, including high-density polyethylene film extrusion, we were able to quickly produce the required resin-based film. Our team rapidly developed form-fit-function prototypes and expedited production, ultimately reducing the client’s lead time by more than eight weeks. Thanks to our vertical integration and volume purchasing power, we also delivered the solution at a more competitive cost.
Our approach is not about selling a product but understanding and fulfilling the client’s needs. This consultative stance ensures we tailor solutions to their requirements, both in terms of quality and timing.
