SS Semi-Slitter

Back and Face Slitting of PSA Liners

Back slitting or kiss cutting machines create a ‘crack and peel’ product for easy liner removal, leaving the label or pressure sensitive sticker ready to adhere to the desired surface.

Rollem’s advanced SS Semi-Slitting/Kiss-cutting slitters allow you to back or face-slit stocks with precisely controlled cuts and easy depth adjustments on all types of pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA). With our superior stability and control, you can slit any material from fine paper stocks to heavy gauge plastics, with the same accuracy — sheet after sheet.

The SS is the top choice of sign and label companies to kiss-cut labels and stickers. We offer five model sizes to successfully back slit PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesives) in a variety of wide format outputs. Rollem has the widest range of kiss cutters on the market with five sizes of kiss cutting machine all the way up to 42” wide.

The Double Head model is configured with a two-shaft design allowing for one shaft of semi-slitting and the second shaft for scoring, perforating or slitting heads. The double head models offer these added functions if needed.
