Splicing is the process by which a roll of material or masking is attached to another roll during processing. Splicing occurs when a finished roll size is larger than the size of one roll, or when a roll of masking being applied to other material runs out prior to the end of the material roll. There are two types of splicing, as follows:

Ø Butt Splicing:

Ø Overlap Splice:

Splicing material is placed over the original material. This method is used ONLY on rolls that will be processed in-house at Regal Graphics.
