How to boost production efficiency of custom-designed doors.

We take a lot of pride in our ability to create high-quality, custom-made cedar overlay doors.

Our customers have discerning taste and they know exactly what they want: doors that match the high quality of their homes.

We can’t afford to have any errors in the doors we produce. They must be delivered right as per specifications, and on time.

Common problems while producing custom-designed doors.

For our business, it’s critical to have the ability to build any custom designed door.

Masking tape is an important tool for helping us get the details just right. A good piece of masking tape can not only stop paint bleeds, but also help with our production output.

Over the years we have tried several different masking tapes for custom paint designs with limited success. Either the tape didn’t adhere well enough, or it was too sticky, making the removal process difficult.

A piece of bad masking tape can leave behind residue on the door, which can take up to 30 minutes to remove completely. Not only does this result in lost production, but it also disrupts the operational process, increasing our labour costs.

A quick turnaround is essential for us to keep our target profitability.

Three ways 3M™ Performance Masking Tape Yellow 301+ helped improve our production efficiency.

We invited a 3M representative to come to our facility to review our production issues.

After looking at our operation and our applications, they recommended the 3M™ Performance Masking Tape Yellow 301+. This turned out to be a great fit for us for a few reasons:

1. Not only does it adhere well to the door, but it also does an excellent job of stopping bleed-through - helping us reduce our errors.
2. Even after being on the door for a long period of time, this masking tape is still easy to remove. It comes off clean and in one piece, leaving behind no residue so we can get to our next job quicker.
3. The bright yellow colour is very helpful when you’re taping to a fine line. It makes it easy to see the work to help you achieve a very fine line.
