Flexible Materials Converting
It takes more than state-of-the-art die cutting equipment to be a world-class manufacturer of die cut parts. It takes an exceptional team of thinkers and doers that are dedicated to engineering innovation, supply chain optimization, and manufacturing excellence. This means offering more than just die cutting.
Because the process of die cutting is actually the final step used to convert a material into a finished functional part, the best converters, like JBC, make a commitment to bringing the ancillary functions in house, shortening the supply chain, and improving cost effectiveness.
Materials Converting Capabilities
We’ve invested in the technology, equipment, and experts that it takes to manage the flexible materials converting process from beginning to end.
Wide Web Embossing
Need to improve the acoustical performance of your die cut foil part? Or improve the formability of your automotive heat shield? JBC has extensive foil, film, and paper embossing capabilities – up to 60” wide.
Acoustical Performance Microperforating
Often used in conjunction with our wide-web embossing services for the automotive heat shield market, microperforation improves acoustical performance by absorbing noise across a specific frequency range.
Hot Roll & Cold Pressure Laminating
Need a foil-faced insulation for your die cut part? Or a peel-and-stick backing on your foam gaskets? With both hot roll and cold pressure laminating, combined with surface treating to help improve bonding of low surface energy materials, JBC has you covered.
Tight Tolerance Slitting
From single knife slitting to rotary slitting, roll slitting, and more, JBC has extensive slitting capabilities and the ability to hold very tight tolerances.
Digital Printing
JBC Technologies offers single and full color digital printing options for everything from part marking to complex graphics.
Ultrasonic Welding
JBC's inline ultrasonic welding capabilities provide a fast, clean edge seal, created using high frequency vibration.
Material Sheeting
JBC can sheet materials in sizes ranging from as small as a few millimeters up to many feet in length.
Surface Treating
Some materials bond well together with standard laminating processes, others need a little extra help – which is why JBC has invested in surface treating technology. JBC can plasma or corona surface treat low surface energy materials to improve bonding properties.
Clean Room Converting
JBC offers clean room converting at three of our four facilities. Ideal for medical, electronic, and other applications with strict cleanliness standards.

Rotary Die-Cutting
The more complex the part and the higher the volume, the more likely the part will be produced on one of our more than a dozen rotary presses. Our multiple rotary cutting machines range from 4 to 10 stations, enabling high speed die-cutting of parts up to 24" wide as well as inline slug removal, multi-layer laminations, kiss cutting, gapped or island-placed parts, and much more.
Material Converting Flatbed Die-Cutting
Flatbed die-cutting, also referred to as platen die-cutting, is a process that uses use a straight up and down cutting motion. JBC Technologies utilizes both narrow and wide-web platen die-cutting, enabling us to cut parts large and small at very high volumes.
Waterjet Cutting Services
Waterjet cutting complements JBC's vertically integrated converting and die cutting capabilities by adding even more breadth to our custom cutting and rapid turnaround manufacturing methods.
Dieless Digital Cutting
JBC’s digital die cutting ( dieless cutting) equipment not only expands the breadth of materials we can work with, it also enables us to provide rapid response times to customers that are looking for prototypes.
JBC: The Only Flexible Materials Converting Partner You Need
When you partner with JBC, you don’t just get an average die cutter – you get a vertically integrated flexible materials converter that can help you take your project from concept to completion and beyond. With so many different manufacturing capabilities, each step assists the next, providing a level of control from raw material to finished product that is only achievable when one company controls the entire process. In short, one supplier equals more control and less risk for you – and that’s just one way JBC makes doing business easy for our customers.
