Rapid Gasket is our in-house elastomer, plastic, and compressed sheet gasket manufacturing service. Our team uses cutting-edge equipment to measure and manufacture gaskets that meet and exceed our customers’ application requirements. Standard or custom-cut gaskets can be produced based on customer-supplied samples, drawings, or flange dimensions. Cut gaskets save customers the long lead times and expensive tooling or moulding costs. For added convenience, we store customer gasket drawings and related specifications on file to support quick and easy reordering.

Custom-Cut Gaskets
We can manufacture custom-cut gaskets to meet our customers’ unique shape and size requirements. When a sample is provided, our team can reverse engineer the dimensions using our LaserQC®. Our LaserQC® enables us to reverse engineer samples, drawings, or flange dimensions. The laser scans and processes the design within seconds, producing a gasket drawing that our drafting team refines to optimize tolerances before production.
Advanced Manufacturing Process
We use advanced knife-cutting technology to produce gaskets from standard to complex designs and custom-cut solutions, all with clean and finished edges and without the compression marks. The cutting surface area can accommodate sheet materials up to 60ˮ x 120ˮ. For gaskets that exceed the cutting surface area, we can use dovetail or skiving techniques.
Materials
Rapid Gasket stock a large inventory of rubber, plastic, and composite gasket sheet materials in various sizes and thicknesses ranging from 1/64ˮ to 1/4ˮ. If required, we can provide guidance in choosing the ideal material for an application.
