Contract Sheet Cutting Services

What We Offer

Contract sheeting converts your rolls into precisely cut sheets. If you’re a converter with rolls that need sheeting, a food manufacturer needing custom sheet sizes, or a packaging reseller looking for a manufacturing partner, we can turn your roll stock into production-ready sheets.

We’ve been converting flexible films and papers for four decades, serving fellow converters, food manufacturers, and distributors who need reliable sheet cutting without the capital investment in their own equipment.

We also sheet from our own stock - if you need sheets of materials we hold (greaseproof, BOPP, CPP, PE, and other films), we can supply finished sheets without you needing to source the roll stock separately.

Looking for finished sheets rather than contract sheeting? See our sheet products or greaseproof paper.

Why Use Contract Sheeting?

No capital investment - Sheeting equipment represents significant capital outlay. Contract sheeting gives you access to precision cutting without tying up cash in machinery.

No floor space required - Keep your facility focused on your core operations rather than dedicating space to cutting equipment.

Flexibility - Order the sheet sizes you need, when you need them. Change dimensions between orders without equipment reconfiguration.

Overflow capacity - Your lines are running flat out and you can’t fit another job in. Rather than turn work away or push lead times out, we can handle the sheeting while you focus on what your facility does best.

Equipment downtime - Machines break down, maintenance windows overrun. Contract sheeting keeps your customers supplied while you sort things out.

Equipment Capabilities

Our guillotine produces sheets up to 1 metre wide by 2 metres long - larger than most UK converters can offer. Minimum sheet size is 100mm x 100mm.

We handle master rolls up to 600mm outside diameter. Standard unwind core size is 76mm (3”), though we can also accommodate 152mm (6”) cores if required.

Material thickness range is 12 microns to 200 microns, covering everything from thin films to heavier paper grades.

Die Cutting

Beyond standard rectangular sheets, we offer die cutting for custom shapes and formats. If your application requires sheets with rounded corners, specific cutouts, or non-rectangular shapes, we can produce them using custom tooling.

Die cutting is particularly useful for portion papers, tray liners that need to fit specific containers, and retail packaging where presentation matters. Let us know what shape you need and we’ll advise on tooling requirements and costs.

Materials We Sheet

We have experience sheeting most flexible packaging films and papers:

Greaseproof and food papers - Our bread and butter. White bleached greaseproof, brown unbleached greaseproof, waxed papers, and parchment papers for food wrap, deli liners, baking sheets, and portion papers.

Polypropylene films including BOPP (plain, metallised, pearlised, coated) and CPP. Commonly sheeted for printed inserts, retail packaging, and lamination applications.

Polyester films including PET for applications requiring heat resistance, clarity, or additional strength.

Polyethylene films including LDPE and HDPE for applications needing flexibility and conformability.

Laminates including multi-layer structures and barrier films for products needing extended shelf life or specific barrier properties.

Specialty films including NatureFlex, biodegradable BOPP, and other sustainable substrates for customers with environmental requirements.

Kraft and other papers including brown and white kraft, tissue interleaving papers, and coated papers.

Different materials behave differently during cutting - blade selection and handling characteristics vary with the substrate. Our operators understand these differences and adjust parameters accordingly.

Applications

Contract sheeting serves food wrap and deli papers - pre-cut sheets for sandwich wrapping, burger wrapping, basket liners, tray liners, and counter papers that are easier for food service staff than cutting from rolls.

Bakery packaging is another common application - sheets for wrapping bread, pastries, cakes, and confectionery in custom sizes to suit your products.

We also produce interleaving sheets placed between products to prevent sticking or damage, common in food manufacturing, printing, and industrial applications. Portion papers for individual product portions, butter pats, and cheese wrapping. Printed inserts and leaflets in film for product information and promotional materials. And industrial applications including protective sheets, release liners, and masking materials.

Quality and Food Safety

Every job goes through inspection. We check sheet dimensions, cut quality, and stack condition before dispatch. If we spot any issues with incoming material - damage, contamination, defects - we’ll let you know before processing.

We maintain clean processing conditions appropriate for food-grade materials. Our facility is BRCGS AA(*) accredited - the same global food safety standard recognised by GFSI and required by major retailers. Full batch traceability, audit-ready documentation, and compliance certificates delivered when you need them.

Order Quantities and Lead Times

There’s no minimum order quantity - we’ll sheet a single roll if that’s what you need. However, runs under 100kg attract a setup charge to cover changeover time. For larger or regular orders, setup costs are absorbed into the run.

Standard lead time is 3-4 weeks from receipt of material (or from order if we’re supplying from stock). For urgent requirements, rush processing is available - call us to discuss what’s possible.

If you have ongoing requirements, we can set up call-off arrangements. You commit to quantities over time, we schedule production efficiently, and you call off what you need when you need it.

Packing and Delivery

Sheets are delivered palletised and overwrapped in shrink film to protect against moisture and contamination during transport and storage. If you have specific packing requirements - particular stack heights, ream quantities, or labelling needs - let us know and we’ll accommodate where possible.

What We Need From You

To quote a contract sheeting job, we need:

• Material specification - film or paper type, thickness (microns or gsm), any coatings or treatments
• Roll details - width, core size, outside diameter
• Sheet dimensions - width and length required (or shape if die cutting)
• Quantity - number of sheets or total weight of material
• Any special requirements - packing format, delivery schedule

If you’re sending material to us, include handling notes for sensitive materials or substrates with specific storage requirements.

Getting Started

Send us the details of what you need sheeting and we’ll provide a quote - typically within 24 hours. If you’re exploring options or not sure which sheet size suits your application, call us and we can talk through the possibilities.

For ongoing contract work, we’re set up to be a reliable converting partner - predictable quality, consistent lead times, and the flexibility to accommodate your production schedule.
