Razor slitting uses stationary or rotating razor blades to cut delicate or thin materials with minimal distortion. It is commonly used for:

• Lightweight films
• Soft nonwovens
• Flexible packaging materials
• Low‑tension webs

This method offers a cost‑effective, compact solution for narrow‑width slitting and high‑speed production.

Crush slitting uses a knife pressed against a hardened anvil roll to “score” through the material. It is ideal for:

• Pressure‑sensitive tapes
• Adhesive‑backed materials
• Certain films and foils
• Multi‑layer webs

Crush slitting provides reliable performance where shear or razor slitting may not be suitable due to adhesive buildup or material structure.
