Summary

The Challenge: Balancing Supply and Demand

Seedsheets produces environmentally friendly, ready-to-go garden planting sheets made from non-woven material embedded with seed pods. This material not only promotes the growth of desired plants but also prevents weeds. However, Seedsheets required a more efficient cutting method to handle their unique materials as their existing methods were insufficient for scaling production.

To keep up with increasing customer demand, Seedsheets explored in-house cutting and partnered with a local cutting company. However, both methods quickly became overwhelmed, creating a bottleneck in production. This meant that they risked delays in fulfilling orders, potentially leading to dissatisfied customers and a decline in future sales.

Finding the Right Solution

Fairway Products first assessed our capacity to take on the project, ensuring we could meet Seedsheets’ inventory demands. We evaluated whether additional personnel or new equipment would be needed to accommodate the required production volume. Our team then reviewed Seedsheets’ existing design and cutting programs, identified areas for improvement, and developed a more efficient process tailored to their needs.

Manufacturing Process

CNC Cutting for Larger Profiles

After careful consideration, we determined that our CNC cutting equipment was the most cost-effective solution for processing larger profiles.

Steel Rule Die Cutting on High-Speed Press for Smaller Profiles

For the smaller profiles, we utilized a steel rule die on a high-speed press, optimizing both speed and precision.

Our modern CNC cutter offered state-of-the-art technology for delivering accurate, timely cuts, ensuring minimal waste and maximum efficiency for our client.
