Die-cut pieces are used in automotive parts, electronic components, home furnishings etc. Die-cut pieces can be sent with the product for assembly at a later time, such as with ‘DIY’ installations. Die-cut pieces achieve a professional finish with a perfect fit every time. Husky die cutting services can also save time and materials.
Die-cut pieces can be produced from a variety of materials, and from a combination of several laminated together:
- Window gaskets are cut from either single sided or double sided foam tapes
- Double sided foam mounting tabs are produced for mounting posters and signage, consumer items such as bathroom accessories etc…
- Small cushioning feet or bumpers used at the back of picture frames and mirrors, and under ornaments and appliances are die-cut from various foams, felt and rubber, that is laminated with a suitable adhesive, and supplied in either rolls or sheets.
Double sided tapes and hook and loop fasteners are die-cut for permanent and removable fasteners, reflective tapes and non-slip tapes are die-cut for use in hazardous and safety areas.
Paper and plastic films can be laminated with double sided tapes or transfer adhesives, and can then be laminated to a foam to provide a non-slip or non-scratch product such as computer mouse pads.
Husky Tape can laminate supported films, such as polyester or polypropylene, or non-woven tissues, to reinforce and add strength to your product, as well as provide an exposed adhesive for mounting and fixing.
A choice of adhesives, from synthetic rubber, rubber solvent, hotmelt, emulsion acrylic and solvent acrylic is available, as is a choice of different liner papers and films, we even have a liner paper with printed removal instructions for retail and end-user products.

Many of the Husky Tape products are manufactured and supplied in long roll lengths and even jumbo size rolls, and must be converted to smaller or shorter rolls and more convenient sizes for final distribution, use and sale. A complete rewinding production service is available at Husky Tape as required.
Our rewinding facility is for the conversion of adhesive coated and non adhesive products from jumbo rolls up to 1600mm wide, rewinding them to common roll lengths such as 4.5m, 10m, 25, 50m, 66m, 75m and 100m, in fact to almost any roll length required.
Husky Tape also produce and sell high quality packaging materials and products. Our raw materials are sourced from around the world. Husky Tape custom packaging products are converted and packaged at our head office and factory complex at our Rockdale production facility in Sydney.
From custom printing your brand name on the final tape core and packing cartons, to bar-coding, custom printed labelling and shrink or clam wrapping and packaging
We can tailor your product packaging to your specifications, such as overall dimensions, material substrate and final branding and labelling.
There are some products such as packaging tape, masking tape and duct tape, mass produced on a global scale, and imported because it is more economical than to produce them here in Australia.
These products can be indent ordered for bulk quantities, and in some cases we can have your own brand name custom printed on the boxes or inside cores. This can have good cost savings on fast moving lines, and help with brand awareness and marketing.
