Die-Cut Cell Separator Materials: Optimizing Safety and Performance for EV and BESS Battery Packs

Cell-to-cell propagation protection is more than just preventing thermal runaway, electrical shorts, and vibration damage, it's the key to optimizing battery safety, longevity, and overall product performance. In this blog, we're taking a look at die-cut battery cell separators for EV and BESS battery packs, highlighting some common cell spacer materials and diving into what makes a good cell divider for your specific battery application.

Tariffs, Tension, and Opportunity: The Importance of U.S.-Based Manufacturing

For OEMs who rely heavily on small die-cut components as integral parts of their final assemblies, the recent tariff spikes and uncertain geopolitical environment should serve as a wake-up call. Rather than looking for "quick fixes" to mitigate these immediate tariff impacts, manufacturers need to take this as an opportunity to overhaul their supply chain as a whole. Investing in a U.S.-based converting partner is a viable, long-term solution to setting yourself up for future success in the face of economic uncertainty, trade wars, and global conflicts. Learn how a U.S.-based supply chain is the key to resilience, security, and increased go-to-market speeds in volatile global environments.

The Definitive Guide to Die-Cutting for Wearable Devices and Stick-to-Skin Products

Great wearable device design doesn't end at the prototyping phase. Ensuring your device's design is aligned with downstream die-cutting processes is critical for ensuring proper functionality and manufacturability. Learn all about what goes into die-cutting for wearable medical devices in this comprehensive E-Book, including machine and process capabilities, adhesive selection, and cleanliness requirements to help you avoid costly setbacks and redesigns.

Specialty Materials for Lightweighting in Aerospace Applications

In aerospace manufacturing, every ounce counts. Manufacturers are constantly seeking lightweight materials that help save weight without sacrificing performance. Building on our last material spotlight blog, we're highlighting lightweight die-cut materials that solve a wide variety of aerospace challenges, including brightness mitigation, thermal management, acoustic insulation, and EMI/RFI Shielding.

Custom Converted Confections: "Die Cut" Cookie Recipes for the Holiday Season

In the spirit of this holiday season, we thought it apropos to shift our focus away from the multi-layered die-cut parts we're known for, to something much tastier. Although it may not seem like it, making Christmas cookies is a lot more like precision die-cutting than you'd think (except die-cutting probably uses fewer sprinkles). Check out these great recipes!
