OUR PROCESS:

1

SUBMIT A INQUIRY

To get started, please fill out our custom request form and include any technical drawings, reference files, or relevant specifications. Be sure to indicate if the product is intended for manufacturing or resale, as well as your ideal pricing targets and timeline. The more details you provide, the better we can serve you.

2

WORK WITH OUR ENGINEERS

Once we receive your submission, our team will review the information and work closely with you to determine feasibility. We’ll assess the technical requirements and provide a detailed quote based on your specifications and goals.

3

PROTOTYPING AND SAMPLES

Based on your project scope and needs, we’ll move forward with prototyping and sample production. This allows you to evaluate fit, function, and quality before proceeding with full-scale manufacturing.

4

RECEIVE A SUPERIOR PRODUCT

Upon approval of the prototype, we begin production and manage all final deliverables. Our goal is to ensure your product meets the highest standards and is delivered on time, ready for your next step — whether that’s internal use or going to market.

Yes. We specialize in high-volume blade manufacturing for industrial, OEM, and commercial applications. Our minimum order quantities are based on the material volume required to efficiently run each project, ensuring cost effective large scale production.

We manufacture custom blades for a wide range of industries, supporting OEMs, distributors, and professional end users. Our precision blades are designed for performance across applications including:

  • Sign and vinyl cutting
  • Industrial and manufacturing
  • Hardware and tools
  • Arts, crafts, and hobby
  • Textile and garment
  • Aerospace and defense
  • Packaging and converting
  • Medical applications

Yes. We can often match or reverse engineer existing blade designs for OEM, industrial, and custom applications. Simply provide a sample or detailed specifications, and our team will work to accurately replicate the blade’s dimensions, material, and performance characteristics.

We primarily manufacture blades using high-quality stainless steel and high carbon steel, selected for strength, sharpness, and durability. We also offer advanced blade coatings such as titanium nitride (TiN) and zirconium nitride (ZrN) to enhance wear resistance, extend blade life, and improve cutting performance across demanding applications.

Yes, depending on the project scope. We offer prototype blade manufacturing and sample development to validate design, fit, and performance before moving into full-scale production. This ensures your custom blade meets exact specifications and application requirements prior to high-volume manufacturing.

All of our blades are proudly manufactured in Paterson. Our USA-based production ensures consistent quality, precision manufacturing, and reliable lead times for OEM, industrial, and custom blade applications.

Yes. We offer private label and OEM blade manufacturing services tailored to your branding, packaging, and product specifications. Our team works with distributors, retailers, and industrial partners to deliver high-quality custom blades ready for market under your brand.

Yes. Our team provides comprehensive engineering support for custom blade manufacturing, including:

  • Custom blade design and development
  • Tolerance analysis and material selection
  • Tooling and mold creation
  • Prototyping and sample validation
  • Performance testing and optimization

We collaborate closely with OEMs, manufacturers, and distributors to ensure each blade meets precise technical specifications and application-specific requirements.

Lead times vary based on project scope, design complexity, and material availability:

  • Existing blade designs: Typically range from a few weeks up to 2 months, depending on inventory and production scheduling
  • New custom blade designs: Approximately 3 months, including tooling or mold creation, material sourcing, prototyping, and sample approval

We prioritize efficient blade manufacturing, consistent communication, and reliable turnaround times to keep your project on schedule.

Pricing for custom blades is based on several key factors, including material type, order volume, design complexity, and labor requirements. Stainless steel blades are typically more expensive than carbon steel due to material cost and processing.

We evaluate each project individually and provide a detailed, transparent quote based on your specifications, ensuring cost-effective solutions for both prototype and high-volume blade production.

Yes. We offer flexible shipping and logistics support for custom blade orders, including parcel, LTL (less-than-truckload), and FTL (full truckload) freight options based on your volume and delivery requirements.

We work closely with customers to determine the most efficient and cost-effective shipping method. All shipping and logistics costs are the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise agreed upon.

No. We provide free quotes for all custom blade manufacturing projects.

Quote turnaround times may vary depending on project complexity, material requirements, and design specifications. Our team carefully reviews each request to ensure accurate pricing and the best possible solution for your application.

Yes, and we encourage it. Blanket purchase orders (blanket POs) with scheduled releases help streamline material procurement, improve production planning, and ensure consistent supply for ongoing blade manufacturing needs.

This approach allows us to optimize inventory, reduce lead times, and provide more efficient, cost-effective custom blade production for OEM and high-volume customers.

Yes. We offer in-house retail packaging solutions, including thermoforming and blister packaging, to deliver shelf-ready blade products. Our packaging services are designed to support private label and OEM programs, helping you bring retail-ready products to market quickly and efficiently.

Yes. In most cases, we can manufacture both 2-facet and 3-facet blades to meet your specific cutting and performance requirements. Our precision grinding capabilities allow us to produce custom blade geometries for a wide range of industrial, OEM, and specialty applications.

All Excel blades are precision-ground for superior performance. Our 2-facet blades deliver an optimal combination or sharpness and durability, making them ideal for cutting through dense fibers and materials. For applications requiring the highest degree of accuracy, our 3-facet blades feature an ultra-sharp edge designed for clean, precise cuts in intricate work. For a detailed breakdown, contact us at info@excelblades.com.

Excel Blades manufactures blades using two primary steel alloys - carbon steel and stainless steel - each selected for specific performance characteristics. Carbon steel, composed of iron and carbon, offers exceptional hardness and edge retention.

Stainless steel, enhanced with chromium, provides corrosion resistance for extended longevity in humid or chemically sensitive environments. Contact us to learn more about our blade materials.

A degreased blade has undergone Excel's specialized degreasing process in which all manufacturing oils, lubricants and surface contaminants are thoroughly removed. This ensures optimal cleanliness and performance, particularly in precision-critical or adhesive-sensitive application. Feel free to contact us to explore our surface treatments.

Blades designated as cleanroom-ready have been meticulously cleaned and packaged under controlled conditions, making them suitable for immediate use in sterile, particulate-sensitive environments. This designation meets the stringent requirements of industries such as electronics, medical manufacturing, and laboratory research.
