Saunders In Action

Case Study #1

Industry: Graphics

Location: Minnesota

The Challenge
Customer was hand cutting tape and employees were experiencing confusion in deciphering the correct tape side to apply to the graphic and to the wall.
The Solution
Saunders added a secondary extended liner to the permanent psa side of the tape and provided the customer with precut 24" strips.
The Result
This changed how the tape was provided:
  • Increased Production
  • Lowered Assembly Cost
  • Reduced Assembly Confusion Among Employees

Case Study #2

Industry: Electronics

Location: California

The Challenge
The customer was looking for a lower-cost alternative tape to their current adhesive process. They needed the parts supplied in a format that would support their high-speed assembly needs. The customer also needed support on having product available on-demand even though their ability to forecast was limited.
The Solution
The Engineers at Saunders suggested using 3M RP45 VHB tape as the lower cost adhesive alternative and proposed, that to speed up production they would apply a quick-release liner, kiss cut them to their proper sizes and die cut holes for easy installing. Saunders also established an on-demand stocking program to combat their previously long lead times.
The Result
This changed how the tape was provided:
  • Cut the Customers Costs by 30%
  • Decreased Assembly Time from 30 to 10 Seconds
  • Reduced Lead-Time from 3-4 Weeks to an In House On-Demand Stock and 24-Hour Ship Program

Case Study #3

Industry: Electronics

Location: California

The Challenge
Major phone manufacturer was looking for a tape that would bond a silicone base to various types of point of purchase countertops. The part needed to have a printed message stating this side to the product. Lastly, the final parts needed to be bagged individually with an alcohol wipe, heat-sealed, and have a 3"x2" label added on the outside (which included many text fields, with each having a corresponding barcode).
The Solution
Samples were sent and tested. Once a solution was met the Saunders team went to work with their Autocad skills and designed a custom cut solution that would fit the customers' needs. Once these issues were worked through discussions continued as the finished parts were then bagged individually with an alcohol wipe, heat-sealed, and have a 3"x2" label added on the outside (which included many test fields, with each having a corresponding barcode).
The Result
This customer's challenges were met swiftly and smoothly helping the customer:
  • Increased Production
  • Lowered Assembly Cost
  • Reduced Installer Assembly Confusion
