Web Industries, Inc., a leading provider of flexible material converting and end-product contract manufacturing has launched a new converting capacity to produce jumbo rolls allowing the company to offer true “Big Roll Converting” to the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) market.

With up to 60″ Outside Diameter (OD) by 80″ Width, jumbo rolls can contain as much as 57 per cent more material than existing rolls. The increase in material volume can give leading producers of adult incontinence, feminine hygiene, baby care, and home care products significant manufacturing advantages. During material sourcing, Web’s ability to handle incoming jumbo rolls will let CPG companies order parent materials on larger rolls, reducing supply chain costs, Web Industries said in a statement.

During manufacturing, jumbo rolls of nonwovens and films converted by Web Industries will allow longer manufacturing runtimes with few changeovers, increasing overall efficiency. These advantages, combined with Web Industries’s other advanced converting and material management services, support consumer product companies looking to bring innovative new products into the marketplace faster or looking to extend the profitable lifespan of existing products.

The new big rolling capabilities are located at Web’s Fort Wayne facility, which already houses some of the world’s largest nonwoven and film converting equipment. The combination of wide-width printing and large OD converting assets gives consumer product companies the option of having their component materials printed and slit and then spooled onto jumbo rolls under one roof, eliminating unnecessary manufacturing steps while reducing overall costs.

James Oas, director of operations-consumer products market, Web Industries said, “The jumbo rolls is an exciting addition to our existing large-format, high-speed slitting, spooling, and printing portfolio, and it offers our customers the opportunity to increase their operational efficiencies.”

A pioneer in contract converting services, Web Industries has over four decades of experience working with nonwovens, films and papers, foils, custom laminates, and foams, and the company specializes in developing optimized flexible material processing solutions in-house, that deliver formatted product onto custom-designed spools, planetary rolls, and pads for efficient, cost-effective product manufacturing.
