In many cases, and given the rapid introduction of new materials, the liner strike tests have been developed by converters themselves. Current options include stretching the material, using a "snap test", or applying pressure to the diecut areas to determine the integrity of the liner. It is critically important that the converter and the customer approve targeted liner strike prior to job launch. Visual inspection remains important, and surface inspection lights (such as LandSco®) are recommended for confirming acceptable liner impression. Many die system suppliers will work with converters to develop the right testing for diecutting performance.
