Small-Lot & Slitting Services for FPC Release Films | Fast Delivery of Evaluation Samples from Stock

When developing or improving FPC products, finding release films for evaluation often poses a dilemma: standard production lots are too large, while products sourced from overseas e-commerce platforms suffer from unstable quality. By slitting materials directly from our master rolls in stock, we provide the exact sizes you need in small lots. Furthermore, through inventory coordination with our overseas locations, we support you seamlessly from the evaluation phase all the way to mass production. The "Shortage of Evaluation Films" Dilemma in New Product Development and Improvement Sites Engineers want to purchase a small quantity of release films for testing in new product development or current product improvement. However, standard production lots are too large, causing the evaluation process to come to a halt.Requirements are demanded across all aspects: functionality, quality, cost, lead time, environmental compliance, and processability.●When this occurs: New product development and existing product improvement phases.●Main impacts: Prolonged evaluation lead times, increased development costs, and lost business opportunities. Why Small Lots Aren't Available in the Market: The Barrier of Master Roll Units and Standard Lots Because master film rolls are massive and standard production lots are too large, switching to small-lot distribution was previously unsupported in the market.●Specific basis: Customer interviews. Countermeasures Attempted So Far and Their Limitations Purchasing standard production lots (resulting in excess inventory and disposal loss) or sourcing from overseas e-commerce (suffering from unstable quality).Recognizing these limitations, we have adopted the following approach as a more fundamental solution.

Adoption of Chinese-made PI Tape for Heat-Resistant Process Film | Cost Optimization via Just-Spec Specifications

While domestic high-spec PI tapes offer more than adequate performance, they are often over-engineered for specific applications. By selecting a "just-spec" grade from a Chinese manufacturer that perfectly matches the application's needs, and verifying its quality through our Shanghai base, we achieved both cost reduction and quality maintenance. Deterioration of the Cost-of-Sales Ratio for Heat-Resistant Process PI Tapes and the Necessity of "Just-Spec" Optimization Cost reduction is required for PI tapes used in heat-resistant processes. However, since high-spec options are excessive for this application, the goal is to select an appropriate grade.Previously, domestic high-spec PI tape was adopted, but it was over-engineered for the specific application.●Context of emergence: Cost improvement phase.●Primary impacts: Deterioration of the cost-of-sales ratio, decline in price competitiveness. Why High-Spec Products are Excessive: The Gap Between Actual Application Requirements and Specifications Continued adoption of high-spec products serves as a cost-up factor. For actual applications, an acceptable/usable level is more than sufficient.●Specific evidence: Physical property comparison of existing materials and processing tests. Countermeasures Attempted So Far and Their Limitations Price reduction negotiations for domestic high-spec products (reached limits), and substitution with alternative films (insufficient heat resistance).Based on these limitations, we adopted the following approach as a more drastic/fundamental solution. Solution Approach: Application-Specific Grade Design × New Chinese Supplier Development × Quality Verification via Shanghai Base Through the development of new foreign suppliers + collaboration with overseas bases, we adopted PI tape with cost suitability that perfectly matches the application. STEP. 01 Supplier Development Evaluating multiple Chinese-made PI tapes STEP. 02 Downgrading Proposals Setting necessary and sufficient specifications for the application STEP. 03 Local Collaboration Quality verification and local procurement via Shanghai Base Fujichemi Trading's Supply System: Head Office × Shanghai Base This solution is achieved through the division of roles across multiple bases.・ Head Office / Domestic Sales: Customer window and cost proposals・ Shanghai Base: Local manufacturer coordination and quality verification●Supply System: Stable supply of overseas procured products. Results of Implementation Achieved cost reduction. Specifications maintained at an acceptable/usable level while preserving quality.●KPI Candidates: Cost reduction / Maintaining zero quality complaints / Diversification of procurement routes.●Implementation Lead Time: Repeating prototyping and evaluation to switch to mass production. Anticipated Ripple Effects and Horizontal Deployment The effects of implementing this solution extend beyond solving the primary issue. Please utilize this as material for internal and management-level proposals.・Applying the same "application-specific grade design" to films for other processes (PET, PEN, PPS)・Modeling the "optimized selection proposal" in the electric wire and electronic component sectors・Breaking out of sales commoditization through switching proposals from "high-spec to just-spec"・Creating a case study of being adopted in the customer's internal cost reduction projects Difference from Competitors: Why Fuji Chemi Trading is Chosen Domestic specialized trading companies tend to offer only a single high-spec proposal. Fuji Chemi supports breaking away from excessive specifications through "application-specific grade design" and "quality verification at the Chinese base."
