Our New Tile Cutting Operation in Pictures.

Recently we assembled four sets of tile sample folders for some of our overseas sales people... by hand. Of course 'by hand' is really the only way it can be done. The folders were printed (and then hand assembled). The tile pieces were carefully cut on rotary tile saws to 90x45mm and 45x45mm, glued onto the boards with flexible tile adhesive and then labelled with self-adhesive labels. Precision tile cutting was contracted out. It was an expensive, painstaking and time-consuming job but the results were certainly worthwhile.

Each folder weighs 5kg so they make an impact on your flight luggage allowance!


Above are a set of two folders opened, 4 pages each.

Now we've decided to industrialize the process so we can produce more, faster cheaper. Most won't be as complex as the one's we've just done but will be portable displays of a particular range.

First we needed tile storage in the warehouse space we've rented adjoining our offices and display room.


Then, and most critically we acquired a water cooled rotary tile cutter. Here's our Tomecanic Supra 300 being tested. It cuts beautifully; precisely and accurately.

Next: Layout tables and designing and printing new folders.
We'll keep you updated.
