YG Flying Splice Tape for Continuous Web Converting
YG flying splice tape joins an incoming roll to the web already running through a converting line. It is designed for roll changes in printing, laminating and coating operations, where the next roll has to take over the feed while the line keeps moving. YG supplies four standard tape widths and offers custom sizes for different splice layouts.

How the Tape Works During a Roll Change
In a flying splice, the leading edge of the incoming roll is prepared with tape. When that edge meets the moving web, the tape forms the joint that draws the new material into the line. The joined web then continues through the stations downstream of the splice.
A missed splice can interrupt material feed and leave the operator with a line to rethread. It can also create waste around the break. The tape is designed for splicing at running speed, with a pre-cut liner to simplify the work on the incoming roll. The usable speed depends on the web, splicer and operating conditions.
Roll preparation matters because the adhesive has to meet the web during the transfer itself. Positioning the tape along the prepared edge and getting consistent contact with the material are part of making that join. The layout of the splice follows the equipment and the line's preparation procedure.
Tape Construction and Handling
The tape has a multilayer construction with high-strength paper backing, a specialty paper layer and high-performance adhesive layers. The pre-cut paper release liner covers the adhesive before use and gives the operator defined sections to lift during preparation. The backing and adhesive form the body of the splice, while the liner is peeled away to expose the bonding surface.

The pre-cut liner is particularly relevant on lines that change rolls frequently. Operators handle the liner as they position the tape and prepare the incoming reel. Keeping that part of the job straightforward helps the crew work through the same preparation routine from roll to roll.
Standard Widths and Custom Sizes

The dimensions in the table refer to the tape strip. The length needed across the web depends on the splice layout. Custom sizes are available for equipment or preparation layouts that call for a different format.
Applications in Web Converting

Printing and Laminating
On a web press, a flying splice keeps material feeding into the press as the incoming roll takes over. A laminator may feed more than one web, so the tape is applied to the roll being changed. In either case, the joint continues through the downstream stations with the web.
Adhesive Coating and Finishing
On adhesive coating and coating finishing lines, the tape joins successive substrate rolls. The joint may then pass through additional processing stations. Take the conditions at those stations into account, including heat where the web passes through a dryer.
Silicone Coating
The face that the adhesive meets depends on how the roll is prepared. On a silicone coating line, that face may be untreated or already coated. Identify the face at the splice when discussing compatibility. For an example of a material made with silicone coating, see 📃 Siliconized Glassine Release Paper Supplier | YG Group.

Frequently Asked Questions
①What is a flying splice?
A flying splice connects a new roll to a web already moving through the line. The tape makes the join during the roll change so the incoming roll can feed the machine.
② What is the backing made of?
YG's construction combines high-strength paper backing and a specialty paper layer with adhesive layers. The removable outer liner is pre-cut paper.
③ Are custom sizes available?
Yes. YG offers custom dimensions alongside the four standard widths. If the width or roll format is set by your splicer, include those dimensions in your inquiry.
④ Can the tape run at my production speed?
The tape is intended for flying splices on running lines. Share the web material, splicer and intended speed when discussing a sample. A trial on the intended line can show how the splice behaves during the changeover and through the downstream equipment.
⑤ Is the tape suitable for a coated web?
The coating and the face being bonded affect compatibility. Share a sample or a description of the exact surface, particularly if the tape will touch a treated or silicone-coated face.
⑥ What can operators check on a sample?
Start with how the liner lifts and how the tape sits on the prepared roll. During the trial, note whether the joint forms at the changeover and how it passes through the line.
Samples and Quotations
For a sample or quotation, send the web material, required tape width or product code, and your intended line speed. Include the expected quantity if you need pricing. YG Group can review the application and discuss a suitable sample. Contact YG Group Now!
