A.J. Rubber & Sponge Ltd. specializes in the production of non-metallic, custom sponge and foam gaskets and seals, and so as to ensure that they meet each of our client’s unique requirements, we integrate precision steel rule die cutting into the manufacturing process. We proudly maintain a contemporary custom sponge and foam gaskets and seals fabrication facility in Hamilton, Ontario, home to some of the most advanced die cutting equipment currently available in the cellular rubber products industry. Our manual and automated die cutting presses (rotary and flatbed) are fully capable of precision die cutting or stamping out a multitude of non-metallic custom sponge and foam gaskets and seals, for sample prototypes, short production runs, or large production runs of hundreds of thousands of pieces. We rely on our suppliers and our clients for steel rule dies to ensure accuracy, and we also keep on hand a number of steel rule dies for you to select from and apply to our die cutting services. We also offer hole punching services for custom sponge and foam gaskets and seals that are required in a continuous length strip.

Alternatively, A.J. Rubber & Sponge Ltd. also offers precision kiss cutting services for your custom sponge and foam gaskets and seals. Kiss cutting involves the partial cutting of a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) backed sponge gasket or foam gasket, so that it retains both its PSA and paper liner (a low tack plastic film is applied to non-adhesive sponge gaskets and foam gaskets that are not pre-cast). Our kiss cutting services provide a perfect solution for clients who need to frequently adhere their gaskets to their final products (ie. a “peel and stick” application for vibration control applications in the automotive industry). Kiss cutting also makes for easier and safer transportation of custom sponge and foam gaskets and seals, and they can be quickly rolled up for convenient storage or disposal. A.J. Rubber & Sponge Ltd.’s kiss cutting equipment ensures evenly spaced and fully intact custom sponge and foam gaskets and seals; you will never receive any missed-cut, partially-cut or double-cut products from us, and they will evenly and cleanly peel away from their paper or plastic liner.

Rubber & Sponge Ltd.’s 50+ years of efficient die cutting and kiss cutting experience guarantees that your custom sponge and foam gaskets and seals are manufactured in a manner that suits your exact specifications.
