A method of producing a plurality of analytical test strips (146) by using a reel-to-reel process is disclosed. Each analytical test strip (146) comprises at least one first layer (198) having at least one first electrode (200), at least one spacer layer (202) and at least one second layer (204) having at least one second electrode (206). The method comprises: i. providing at least one continuous first layer web (114), having disposed on a first side (118) at least one first electrode layer (120), the first layer web (114) having a first layer edge (122); ii. continuously disposing, in at least one first lamination station (116), at least one continuous spacer layer web (124) onto the first side (118) of the first layer web (114), wherein the spacer layer web (124) has a spacer layer edge (126), wherein the disposing is position-controlled in a master-slave fashion by using a position of the first layer edge (122) as a master position and a position of the spacer layer edge (126) as a slave position, wherein the disposing takes place such that the spacer layer edge (126) is offset from the first layer edge (122) and that, thereby, a portion of the first side (118) of the first layer (114) and a portion of the first electrode layer (120) remain uncovered by the spacer layer web (124); and iii. continuously disposing, in at least one second lamination station (128), at least one continuous second layer web (130) onto the spacer layer web (124), the second layer web (130) having disposed on a first side (132) at least one second electrode layer (134), wherein the disposing is performed such that the second electrode layer (134) faces the first layer web (114), wherein the second layer web (130) has a second layer edge (136), wherein the disposing takes place such that the second layer edge (136) is aligned with the first layer edge (122), and wherein the disposing is position- controlled in a master-slave fashion by using a position of the second layer edge (136) as a slave position. Further disclosed are a cutting station (172) and a manufacturing system (110) for producing a plurality of analytical test strips (146) by using a reel-to-reel process.
