OR64 technical tapes for the cable industry.

Distributor and converter of tapes for cable manufacturers, with its own warehouse and lines in Lavern (Barcelona). Its website was a set of static pages, one copy per language, with a single products page. The new one organises families, services and sectors from a trilingual database and generates the PDF datasheet for every product.

02 · STARTING POINT

A static website that hid the catalogue.

OR64 supplies insulation, shielding, water-blocking and fire-protection tapes, and converts them in its own plant: slitting, spooling, rewinding and mica taping. The previous website, built with a page builder, showed none of this: one products page for the whole catalogue, a few manufacturer PDFs linked by hand and a full copy of the site for each language.

Before · static HTML
A brochure in three languages
A single products page, no dedicated page per product.
Manufacturer datasheets uploaded by hand, no common format.
No pages by application sector.
Converting services summarised on one page.
One copy of the site per language: every change, three times.
Now · database-driven platform
The catalogue as a system
Five tape families with a dedicated page per product.
PDF datasheet generated from the data, in all three languages.
12 sector pages with the tapes each industry uses.
Each converting service with its real capabilities.
Content and translations in the database: changed once.
03 · TECHNICAL CATALOGUE

Four ways in to the same product.

Someone buying mica tape may start from the material, from the taping service or from the standard their cable must meet. That is why the product is linked from its family, from the service that applies it and from the sectors that require it.

Every product is linked from every path a buyer uses to look for it, and each one has its datasheet available for download in the language of the page.
04 · CONVERTING

The in-house plant, with its figures.

What sets OR64 apart from just another distributor is what it does with the material before shipping it. Each service has its own page with widths, diameters, reel formats and standards, which is what a purchasing manager asks before requesting a quote.

05 · SECTORS

12 sector pages for those who make the cable.

Each sector has its own page with applications, technical requirements and the tapes that fit. The railway cable manufacturer finds mica and EN 45545; the marine one, water-blocking.

What lies underneath, no CMS, no templates.

Custom code from start to finish. Content lives in the database, in three languages, and the same data feeds both the page and the PDF datasheet: if a technical value changes, it changes in both places at once.
