PRESSURE-SENSITIVE TAPES & ADHESIVE FOR CUSTOM DIE-CUTTING
Want to find a creative way to eliminate mechanical fasteners, apply adhesives to your seals, gaskets, and insulation materials to aid with assembly, or mask out an intricate shape to speed production on your line? Or source die-cut components for your remote patient monitoring product? JBC Technologies has you covered.
JBC Technologies is both a 3M Preferred Converter and a member of the Avery Dennison ADvantage Converter Network. We have over 30 years of experience, 4 locations, and a wide variety of state-of-the-art converting equipment, and we're ready to help create your custom die-cut solution today.
We'll work with you and our adhesive manufacturer partners to determine the suitable pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes for the job, along with the right die-cutting processes and automated assembly systems to enable us to integrate our adhesives onto your die-cut parts in the most efficient manner possible.
Take a look below to learn more about our adhesive tape converting expertise and the different adhesive tapes that we can use to make custom die-cut solutions for you today.
Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) Tapes
JBC Technologies offers our customers a wide range of pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes from which to choose — automotive-grade permanent attachment adhesive tapes, low-cost assembly aid PSAs, even medical-grade and EMI shielding tapes.
Pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes are activated with pressure and do not require solvent, water, or heat to activate them. Our adhesive tape options include cost-effective rubber-based PSAs that provide quick-stick capabilities, acrylic PSAs that tend to develop stronger bonds and provide heat and environmental resistances, and silicone PSAs designed special adhesion to difficult silicone materials.

Here is a sampling of the types of pressure-sensitive tapes and adhesives we can convert into custom solutions for you.
Acrylic
Acrylic foam tapes are high-performance bonding tapes that reduce buzz, squeak, and rattle (BSR) because they absorb vibrations at the tape’s core instead of at the bond line.
In addition, these adhesive tapes are often used to replace mechanical fasteners, attach decals and emblems, join vehicle molding and improve assembly time.
Acrylic foam tape is ideal for automotive applications, like attaching side mirrors, rearview mirrors, and backup cameras.
Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives Transfer Tapes
Adhesive transfer tape is one of the most common adhesive tapes we convert at JBC Technologies. Unlike a double-coated tape, which has a carrier lined on either side with an adhesive, transfer tapes have no carrier.
The rubber or acrylic-based pressure-sensitive adhesive is coated onto a removable release liner, typically made of film or paper. Transfer tapes are typically thinner than double-coated tapes, but because there is no carrier, they tend to be more conformable.
Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives Double-Sided Tapes
Also known as double-coated or double-faced tapes, double-sided adhesive tapes are constructed of a liner (one or both sides), an adhesive, a carrier, a second adhesive, and another liner. They are ideal for gap-filling applications and anti-vibration.
Double-sided adhesive tapes are generally lower in strength and less expensive than acrylic foam tapes making them suitable for various non-structural applications.
Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives Foam Tapes
JBC converts both single and double-sided foam tapes. With high-speed, high-tolerance rotary die-cutting capability we custom die-cut foam tape solutions for gaskets and seals designed to absorb impact, dampen vibrations, seal out the elements, and even replace mechanical fasteners. That being said, foam tapes are not all created equally. Here we highlight some of the basic things to consider when specifying which type of tape to use for your next project
Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives 3M™Thin Bonding Tapes
Thin bonding is a category of acrylic tapes and adhesives made by 3M that have a thickness of 10 mil (0.254mm) or less. Because the tapes are so thin, they are often used in finished products where a lower overall profile is desired. 3M’s thin bonding tapes are highly conformable making them ideal for use on complex surface geometries.
Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives Low Surface Energy Tapes
Developed specifically for bonding and joining low surface energy substrates such as plastics, powder-coated paints, and lightly oiled metals, 3M’s low surface energy tapes, and adhesives provide a true bond without the need for primers or promoters.
Medical-Grade Adhesives
As with their industrial and automotive counterparts, medical-grade adhesive tapes can be categorized in multiple ways - carrier type (foam, woven non-woven, polyurethane non-woven, spunlaced polyester nonwoven, film, paper, etc.), adhesive type (medical-grade rubber, acrylic, silicone), and construction (double-sided with or without differential adhesive, single-sided, transfer tape, etc.). Your specific application will determine which type of medical-grade pressure-sensitive adhesive tape you need.
Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives Electrically Conductive Tapes
3M™ offers a robust line of Electrically Conductive Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (CPSA) Tapes and Films designed specifically for use in EMI shielding and grounding applications. Not only do they minimize EMI noise and crosstalk, but they also provide EMI protection from a wide range of frequencies, adhere well to a variety of substrates, and can be die-cut to the custom size and shape needed for your application.
Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Vibration Damping Tapes
3M™ Vibration Damping Tapes are low temperature 3M™ Viscoelastic Damping Polymers coated on a dead soft aluminum foil constraining layer. They have pressure sensitive properties and are furnished in roll form and designed for direct, pressure sensitive application to metal and composite panels for vibration damping purposes.
EMI Shielding Tapes
EMI shielding tapes such as 3M™ Electrically Conductive Cushioning Gasket Tape provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, grounding, and absorption capabilities for a variety of electronic applications. Work with the experts at JBC to have your EMI shielding tapes custom die cut to meet your specific requirements.
