FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to make a tool at Rubber Resource?
Depending on size and materials we can create simple tools and dies in as little as 1-2 days. However, sometimes size or complexity means we have to order some supplies to create what our customer needs and the material availability will dictate longer lead times for certain jobs.
What is a tool? How does it work?
In the converting world tools, also known as dies, are metal blades fashioned on a base, that are used to cut out the shapes that our customers require. Think of an industrial strength cookie-cutter…Sometimes coming down with the force of 20-30 elephants.
