In the field of electronic devices, '''Roll-to-roll processing''', also known as '''web processing''',<ref name="web processing">{{cite web|title=Digital roll-to-roll web processing revolutionizes printed electronic production|url=https://www.controleng.com/single-article/digital-roll-to-roll-web-processing-revolutionizes-printed-electronic-production.html?print=1|website=Control Engineering|accessdate=February 1, 2018|date=March 12, 2013}}</ref> '''reel-to-reel processing''' or '''R2R''', is the process of creating electronic devices on a roll of [[flexible plastic]] or metal [[Foil (chemistry)|foil]]. 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.
