R2R

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004641

An abbreviation for roll-to-roll processing, a manufacturing method where a flexible substrate is fed from a supply roll through processing stations and collected on a take-up roll. This continuous production technique is used in flexography, gravure printing, and the fabrication of printed electronics on materials like paper, film, or foil. R2R systems contrast with sheet-fed processes, which handle discrete, pre-cut substrates.
