In addition to R2R processing with plastic or metal materials, there is also new research (in the past decade) which uses flexible glass in R2R processing for various applications.

In other fields predating this use, it can refer to any process of applying coatings, [[Roll-to-roll printing|printing]], or performing other processes starting with a roll of a flexible material and re-reeling after the process to create an output roll. These processes, and others such as sheeting, can be grouped together under the general term '''[[converting]]'''. When the rolls of material have been coated, laminated or printed they can be subsequently slit to their finished size on a [[slitter]] rewinder.
