If off-the-shelf tape rolls create extra cutting, extra handling, or inconsistent placement, ATS can help you move to a better tape format. We provide custom tape converting services built around 3M materials, so you can source the tape and the finished format through one 3M Select Converter and Authorized Distributor.
ATS supports industrial, commercial, and professional buyers who need application-specific tape solutions for assembly, masking, marking, bonding, and repair. With fast shipping, technical guidance, and compliance documentation options, we make it easier to get the tape format your process actually needs.
ATS helps you go beyond standard rolls by converting materials into formats that fit the job. That can include customized converted formats for bonding tapes, mounting tapes, adhesive transfer tapes, VHB tapes, double coated foam tapes, durable label materials, release liners, and related adhesive constructions.
Instead of asking your team to hand-cut material at the point of use, we help you source die-cut parts, pre-cut shapes, pressure-sensitive adhesive constructions, and other application-specific tape formats that support cleaner placement and more repeatable results.
"ATS combines industry knowledge with 3M Select Converter support when a standard roll is not the right format."
For many attaching and assembly applications, converted tape formats can help improve appearance, simplify the build process, and reduce dependence on cure time or mechanical fastening. ATS brings that benefit into a practical purchasing workflow, so you can align material choice, converted format, and fulfillment plan from the start.
ATS serves buyers across automotive, aerospace, electrical, construction, industrial, signage and graphics, maintenance, and professional repair environments. If your application depends on consistent adhesive placement, clean edges, or repeatable part geometry, custom converting gives you more control than a roll that must be cut and fitted manually every time.
Custom tape converting is especially useful in jobs like these:
Assembly and attachment: Converted bonding, mounting, and transfer tape formats can support faster, cleaner part placement.
Masking and finishing: Precisely cut masking formats can simplify paint, coating, and finishing steps.
Graphics and marking: Pre-cut symbols, films, and marking constructions help standardize application across surfaces and locations.
Electrical and repair work: Application-specific adhesive and tape formats can reduce field improvisation and make repeat work easier to manage.
ATS already supplies a broad industrial catalog across tapes, coated fabrics and films, gaskets, which means you are not limited to a narrow material selection when a project calls for converted tape parts.
That matters when your project includes more than one material or process step. We can help you coordinate core tape products, related tools, and fulfillment needs through one supplier instead of splitting the job across multiple vendors.
A converted format only works if the underlying material fits the substrate, environment, and use case. ATS combines distributor access with technical guidance, so you can make better decisions about adhesive family, thickness, liner choice, foam construction, or transfer tape design before you commit to volume.
For projects that need validation, custom converting can also support prototype-driven decision making. 3M converter programs are built around customizable materials and customized adhesive prototypes for testing, which is valuable when you are evaluating fit, finish, vibration resistance, or application workflow before rollout.
"As a Authorized Distributor, ATS can pair converted tape formats with a broad catalog across tapes, adhesives, films, abrasives, safety, electrical, and repair."
ATS is a strong fit when you want material selection and converting support in the same conversation. That makes it easier to move from a performance requirement to a workable part format without losing time between sourcing, specification, and purchasing.
Getting the right format is only part of the job. ATS also supports fulfillment, fast and reliable shipping, bulk-friendly pricing, and compliance documentation options, which helps you manage recurring demand with fewer procurement surprises.
If you are supporting production, field service, or multi-location operations, that combination can reduce on-site cutting, shrink internal kitting work, and make replenishment more predictable. ATS gives you a way to connect converted tape parts with a fulfillment plan that fits how your team actually consumes material.
ATS is a practical choice when your team needs more than a stocked roll product. We are especially relevant if you are dealing with one or more of these situations:
You need application-specific formats: Die-cuts, pre-cut shapes, masking formats, or other converted constructions can remove labor from the point of use.
You need supply reliability: JIT fulfillment and fast shipping help support recurring demand and scheduled use.
You need technical and purchasing alignment: Material guidance, custom converting, and procurement support are available through one source.
If you already know the tape construction and dimensions you need, we can help you source it more efficiently. If you only know the application problem, ATS can help you work backward from the surface, environment, and process requirement to a more usable converted tape solution.
Bring us the details that matter most to your job: the substrate, the use case, the desired format, part dimensions, environmental exposure, and expected order pattern. ATS can help you identify a 3M material and a converted tape format that fits your process more cleanly than a standard roll.
