York Saw & Knife offers free, in-house test cutting and perforating of flexible films utilizing a plunge cut with a straight, serrated edge blade.

YSK applications engineers will test cut of perforate your material on our in-house, test cutting equipment. We will return the sample cut to you, along with a quotation for a knife determined to possess the optimum cutting edge for your particular application.

Recently, YSK assisted a University of Illinois student undertaking a senior design project at a major packaging company. the company provided the student a set of parameters and tasked her with developing the "best" blade to cut a new material the company developed. The student read about YSK's test cutting capabilities and contacted us with her project details.

The student provided YSK her design, dimensions and the company's test material. We developed a variety of blades to test cut on her material. After a few rounds of testing and development, YSK provided the student with our results and optimum blade recommendation.

Check out the test cut video.

We shipped a blade set to the student to use with her project and company presentation. She received high marks, and YSK received an order from the company. It was a win-win-win situation.
