Hypoallergenic vs. Biocompatible: What’s the Difference?

From informercials to the branding on consumer packaging, the term "hypoallergenic can be seen everywhere. But, what does it actually mean? It's commonly mistaken with another popular term, "biocompatible". Do these two terms really mean the same thing? In this blog, we dive into the important distinction between "hypoallergenic" and "biocompatible" to highlight what it could mean for your skin-contact wearable device project.

Optimizing Aerospace Die Cutting: Cost, Throughput, and Waste Reduction Strategies

While Aerospace and New Space Innovators are constantly looking for new and inventive ways to solve mission-critical challenges, they also need solutions that are efficient, cost-effective, and meet their demanding launch timelines. In this blog, we sat down with JBC's own Continuous Improvement Manager, RJ Geibel, to discuss how working with a skilled vertically integrated converting partner is the key to optimizing costs, increasing production throughput, and reducing waste in aerospace manufacturing. Learn helpful waste reduction strategies, design for manufacturability recommendations, and more!

Solving Nasal Strip Failure with Custom Converting

The bridge of the nose is a challenging place to stick anything to - It's oily, curved, and home to very sensitive skin. This makes nasal strip manufacturing a unique challenge in the world of die-cut consumer wearables, requiring a capable converting partner to ensure you get it right. In this blog, we're highlighting three key ways a skilled die-cutter helps you overcome the most common nasal strip failure causes.
