Profile & dimensions
A CAD file, PDF, dimensioned sketch or clear photo establishes the profile and critical interfaces.

Upload a DrawingWhat are custom cut parts?
Custom cut parts are made from flexible sheet or roll material to a drawing, dimensions or defined application requirement rather than selected as fixed SKUs. A gasket, pad, seal or washer is specified by the relationship between its function, geometry, material, construction and assembly conditions.
FUNCTION FIRST
Browse Parts by Function
Start with what the part needs to do. The same part name can lead to different material and process choices, so these groups help frame the next engineering question.
Sealing
Profiles designed around an interface, compression and service environment.
Part type Rubber Gaskets
Flexible sealing profiles for joints where the material compound and compression conditions need to be considered together. Explore Rubber Gaskets →
Part type Foam Gaskets
Compressible profiles used where uneven surfaces, lower closure force or combined sealing and cushioning matter. Explore Foam Gaskets →
Part type Silicone Gaskets
Silicone-based gasket profiles for projects where the selected grade and environmental requirements call for that material family. Explore Silicone Gaskets →
Part type PTFE Gaskets
Specialty gasket profiles where media, load and the selected PTFE construction need careful review. Explore PTFE Gaskets →
Part type Cork Gaskets
Compressible cork-based profiles for applications where construction and fluid exposure should be confirmed. Explore Cork Gaskets →
Part type Foam Seals
Compressible foam profiles for panel, enclosure and air-path interfaces where cell structure affects sealing behavior. Explore Foam Seals →Cushioning & Protection
Soft or resilient parts for contact, surface protection and vibration-related interfaces.
Part type Rubber Pads
Solid elastomer pads that can separate surfaces, absorb contact and support a defined mounting interface. Explore Rubber Pads →
Part type Foam Pads
Soft cut components for cushioning, spacing and surface protection where density and recovery affect the result. Explore Foam Pads →
Part type Silicone Pads
Silicone material pads for assemblies that need a soft interface with project-specific material selection. Explore Silicone Pads →
Part type Felt Pads
Soft fiber pads for surface protection, noise reduction and low-load cushioning. Explore Felt Pads →Spacing & Isolation
Parts that create separation, distribute contact or isolate a mounting point.
Part type Rubber Washers
Ring-shaped elastomer components for spacing, isolation and sealing around fasteners or interface points. Explore Rubber Washers → Part type Rubber Pads
Solid elastomer pads that can separate surfaces, absorb contact and support a defined mounting interface. Explore Rubber Pads → Part type Foam Pads
Soft cut components for cushioning, spacing and surface protection where density and recovery affect the result. Explore Foam Pads →Adhesive-Backed Components
Linered parts that support placement during assembly.
SELECTION MATRIX
Part Type Selection Matrix
Use this as a starting point for an RFQ—not as a universal specification. Actual material grade, thickness and process remain project dependent.
| Part type | Primary function | Common material families | Typical process | What to specify |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Foam gasket | Low-force sealing or cushioning | Foam materials | Knife or die cutting; construction dependent | Gap, compression, environment |
| Rubber gasket | Interface sealing | Solid elastomers | Knife or die cutting | Media, compression, joint geometry |
| PTFE gasket | Specialty sealing interface | PTFE | Knife or die cutting | Media, load, temperature conditions |
| Foam pad | Cushioning and protection | Foam materials | Knife or die cutting | Contact area, recovery, density |
| Rubber washer | Spacing, isolation or sealing | Solid elastomers | Knife or die cutting | Inner/outer diameter, load, exposure |
| Adhesive-backed part | Assembly placement | Foam, rubber or felt constructions | Kiss cutting or through cutting | Mounting surface, liner, handling |
ENGINEERING RELATIONSHIP
How Part, Material & Process Work Together
A part type is only the beginning. Foam gaskets and PTFE gaskets can share a function while needing very different material and manufacturing decisions.
Part type
Gasket, pad, washer or seal defines the functional starting point.
Material
Rubber, foam, silicone or specialty sheet material is selected around exposure and behavior.
Construction
Thickness, density, cell structure or adhesive layers change how the material behaves.
Process
Cutting and converting route is reviewed for profile, handling and project stage.
Application
Assembly geometry and operating conditions confirm whether the combination is suitable.
DRAWING REVIEW
Common Design Inputs
The most useful part review connects the drawing to its real job in the assembly. These inputs allow material and process questions to be separated early.
Function
State whether the component seals, cushions, protects, spaces or supports assembly placement.
Service environment
Describe media, weather, temperature conditions, moisture, dust and relevant contact surfaces.
Assembly conditions
Available compression, mounting method, closure sequence and delivery format can affect the design.
PROJECT START
Not Sure What Your Part Is Called?
You do not need an exact industry term to begin. Share a drawing or photo, dimensions, the part function, service environment, current material if known and quantity. The project can then be reviewed around the real requirement.

Custom Parts FAQ
What are custom cut parts?
Custom cut parts are drawing-based components converted from flexible sheet or roll materials. They can include gaskets, seals, pads and washers. The final part is defined by its geometry, selected material, thickness or construction, and the requirements of the assembled application.
Do I need to know the exact part name?
No. A drawing, photo, dimensions, the part function and the application environment provide a useful basis for review even when the industry name is unknown.
What is useful to include with a drawing?
Include critical dimensions, material preference if known, thickness, quantity, mounting method and the conditions the part will see. These inputs help distinguish between a material question and a manufacturing question.
