It’s common in the industry: two factories using the same brand and size of jumbo roll end up with completely different yield rates. The difference isn’t luck—it’s planning.
From what we’ve seen in stable, high-yield plants, the gap usually comes from three areas:
- Poor layout planning: Cutting sizes that don’t fit the roll width leave large, unusable trim edges.
- Unoptimized slitting setup: Wrong width combinations create leftover strips that can’t be sold or reused.
- Order-stock mismatch: Cutting rolls without matching upcoming orders leads to overstock and waste.
Improving yield isn’t about cutting faster—it’s about cutting smarter. SMH provides professional slitting layout planning, order matching strategies, and width optimization to help you make the most of every jumbo roll, lower material cost, and improve profit per ton.
