When it comes to protecting cables and wires, expandable braided sleeving is a popular choice due to its flexibility, durability, and clean aesthetic. However, cutting this sleeving without causing frayed ends can be a challenge.
Achieving a professional look and ensuring long-lasting cable protection often requires specialised equipment and techniques. At Printasleeve, we simplify this process for clients with our advanced custom braid-cutting services, making it easier than ever to achieve precision and consistency in your sleeving needs.
The Challenges of Cutting Braided Sleeving
Without proper cutting techniques, braided sleeving tends to fray, creating loose strands that compromise both the appearance and functionality of the sleeving. One popular DIY method to combat fraying is using a hot knife. This tool melts and seals the sleeving as it cuts, effectively preventing frayed ends.
However, not every workspace has access to a hot knife, and it can be difficult to achieve consistent results without experience. For businesses and professionals who need large quantities of sleeving in precise lengths, DIY methods can be time-consuming and often lack the uniformity that many industries require.
Printasleeve’s Custom Braid-Cutting Services
At Printasleeve, we recognise the demand for reliable, high-quality braid-cutting solutions. Our custom braid-cutting services use recently upgraded, state-of-the-art machinery that allows us to achieve precise, fray-free cuts at any length. With our equipment, we provide clean, professional-grade cuts that meet the high standards expected by industries such as electronics, automotive, and audio, where cable management and protection are critical.
We handle both small and bulk orders, ensuring that each piece is prepared to exact specifications. This service is ideal for clients who need consistent, professional-quality cuts and who want to avoid the hassle of managing their own cutting tools. Whether you require a single batch of pre-cut braid or large quantities for an ongoing project, Printasleeve offers flexibility to suit your specific needs.
We offer a variety of high-quality braid types tailored to different needs. Our PB/PG black and grey braids are known for their flexibility, durability and added protection, while PCN coloured braid provides the same with additional opportunities for branding or colour coding. ABS is valued for its acoustic dampening properties over and above the usual protection from abrasion, and our AGS and SGS options are great for shielding purposes. For high-temperature needs, HTG braids are ideal, and we also offer custom braids to match unique project specifications.

Flexible Supply Options: Braid on Reels, Coils, and Bulk Quantities
To provide further convenience, Printasleeve offers braid on reels, coils, or in bulk quantities. Reels and coils provide an easy storage option, allowing quick access for projects where sleeving is applied directly from the reel. Bulk supplies are an excellent choice for clients with consistent, high-volume needs, enabling efficient use and reducing overall setup time.
With a range of sizes, colours, and material options available, we provide custom braid solutions tailored to each client’s unique specifications. Our offering includes durable materials for both standard and specialised applications, such as acoustic-dampening braid, which minimises external interference—a crucial feature for audio and electronic industries.
