Textile Converting
Acme Mills provides top-of-the-line textile cutting, die cutting, slitting and re-rolling services. We can work with a variety of materials and will match the process to your needs.
Textile Cutting
At Acme Mills, we use the Gerber Cutting System. This eliminates the need for tooling, regardless of materials.
A variety of materials can be processed without tooling including:
- Felts

We also have other options for material and textile cutting such as:
- Sonic cutting
- RF cutting
- Narrow fabric up to 18" wide
- Hot knife cutting
- Traditional lay-up and cut tables
All of our operators are trained and experienced in both large and small volume projects.
Textile Die Cutting
When die cutting, we believe it is important to ensure that the best layout is used to reduce material usage. That is why our system digitizes the CAD date, template, or pattern for your project. The template or pattern will be nested to provide the greatest yield. In addition, we can handle both sheet or roll form up to 78" wide.
We have several other processes available including:
- Clicker Presses
- CNC Presets
- Heated Platen Presses
- Roll Feed Belt Presses
We will be sure to match the process to your needs and materials. We can also quickly design any tooling you may need when using patterns, blueprints, CAD data, or mylars.
We can service high volume cuttings for these materials:
