Island Placement

Some product designs require that a separate substrate material be placed in a precise location within a zone of adhesive on a larger part. In the converting industry, this process is often referred to as island placement. Island Placement allows manufacturers to place individually die cut materials onto a continuous web of material with unmatched accuracy, creating an island. This enables the creation of complex, multi-layer constructions essential for stick to skin applications. The secondary web may introduce a die cut part made in a different process or it may be a part produced within the same converting process. This island placement process eliminates unnecessary waste, produces high-value products, and is a good option for complex parts that may involve expensive materials.  ADDEV Materials Healthcare uses industry-leading, narrow web, die cutting presses with advanced servo technology and closed-loop registration to manufacture precision, island placed products, for many markets and applications.
