Die Cut Tape
Die cut tape is essentially custom cut tape. It’s when adhesive tapes are cut into specific shapes and sizes depending on your requirements, such as circles for mounting pads or easy-apply brand logos. Having tape die cut often makes it easier to apply it, speeding up production or assembly lines.
This type of custom cut tape is commonly used in construction, as well as the automotive and packaging industries, but it is versatile, with a wealth of other applications.
As Australia’s leading supplier of adhesive tape products, we can provide custom die cut solutions for all your requirements.
Die Cut Product Range
Die cut tapes are available in a range of options, from foam to polyester. Here’s what we stock in the way of custom cut tapes.
Die Cut Foam Tapes
Foam tape is extra dense, which is why it’s great for cushioning against shock and vibration. This heavy-duty tape is resistant to most solvents, chemicals, water, and fire, making it ideal if you’re looking for a durable yet flexible adhesive product.
A good use case for die cutting double sided foam tapes is when hotels need to stick high-use soap dispenser boxes down securely, or in construction, when you want to create a gasket to prevent any leakage.

Types of Die Cuts
- Precision cutting: Highly accurate for more detailed designs
- Kiss cutting: Cuts through the top layer of the tape, leaving the backing material intact, creating a tab for clean lift off
- Perforated cutting: Creates small, punched holes for easy tearing
- Loose pieces: Die cut components are separated into individual pieces
- Roll form: Come on a long continuous roll with a liner backing
- Waste Weeded: Excess material around the die-cut shape is removed during production, leaving only the clean, usable pieces.
What is tape converting?
Tape converting is when you take a standard roll of adhesive tape and turn it into a customised format based on the needs of a specific application or industry.
For example, if you wanted to transform tape into a label for a book or to secure a rug in place, you could get your tape cut into small circles or long strips of adhesive with folded tabs.
Die cutting, slitting, laminating, and printing are all forms of tape converting, offering a unique and versatile way to get custom cut tape for a range of surfaces.
