  • Electronic packaging trays and blister sheets
  • Display and signage sheets

J-Type Three-Roll Calendar

The J-type three-roll calendar provides precise cooling, calendering, and surface finishing for PETG sheets, ensuring exceptional clarity and flatness.

Key Features

1. High-Precision Three-Roller Structure Mirror-polished upper, middle, and lower rollers arranged in vertical, inclined, or horizontal configuration to meet diverse PETG process requirements.

2. Stable Sheet Thickness Control Fine-tuned roller gap control (±0.01 mm) integrated with the automatic thickness gauge ensures consistent sheet thickness and excellent flatness.

3. Excellent Sheet Gloss and Surface Quality Rollers are chrome-plated and precision-ground for outstanding clarity and gloss — free from flow marks, bubbles, or crystal spots that could compromise PETG’s signature transparency.

4. Efficient Cooling System Internal spiral water or oil circulation system controls roller temperature within ±1°C for uniform cooling, preventing internal stress and waviness in PETG sheets.

5. Advanced Tension Control & Synchronized Drive Independent servo motors drive each roller with precise tension control, preventing wrinkles and misalignment — critical for thin-gauge PETG films.

6. Quick Lifting & Die Adjustment System Quick-lift center roller mechanism enables faster threading and cleaning, with flexible die-to-roller distance adjustment for reduced downtime during product changeovers.

7. Modular Design, Compatible with Various Sheet Types Supports single-layer or multilayer co-extrusion; suitable for PETG, APET, and RPET materials.

8. Seamless Integration with Full Line Automation Integrated with extruder, die, and thickness gauge via PLC/HMI for smart operation and recipe management.

Double-Sided Silicone Oil Coating Equipment

For PETG sheets requiring release properties — such as medical blister films, label base films, and electronic packaging — the inline double-sided silicone oil coating module provides uniform, high-quality surface treatment.

Medical Device Sterile Barrier Packaging

Medical Device Packaging — Sterile Barrier Trays & Blister Packs with Visual Inspection

PETG sheet from Jwell lines forms rigid trays and blister packs for surgical instruments, implantable devices, catheters, and diagnostic kits that must maintain sterile integrity through EtO, gamma, or electron-beam sterilization. PETG’s high clarity allows visual inspection of device integrity through the sealed package — a regulatory requirement under ISO 11607 for sterile barrier systems where the ability to confirm device presence and condition without opening the package directly supports patient safety.

PETG’s toughness at thicknesses as low as 0.5 mm withstands the rigors of hospital distribution without cracking, and the material’s chemical resistance to common sterilization agents (EtO gas, gamma radiation, electron-beam) preserves optical clarity and mechanical integrity through validated sterilization cycles. Jwell’s process documentation package — including IQ protocol, OQ protocol with defined process window characterization, and a process validation master plan template — supports converters pursuing ISO 13485 medical device quality system certification.

For medical converters, Jwell’s silicone-free corona treatment option ensures PETG sheet surfaces remain compatible with adhesive bonding (Tyvek® lidding film), printing, and direct device contact without the contamination risks that silicone slip agents pose.

Luxury Cosmetic and Fragrance Packaging

 Luxury Cosmetics & Fragrance — Crystal-Clear Presentation Packaging with Chemical Resistance

High-end cosmetic brands demand packaging that communicates product quality before the consumer opens the box. PETG sheet thermoformed into insert trays, product platforms, and transparent box components provides crystal-clear presentation with gloss levels exceeding 100 GU — the visual standard that luxury packaging buyers specify in incoming quality audits.

PETG’s excellent thermoforming detail reproduction captures fine brand embossing and logo details at moderate mold temperatures (60-80°C), and the material’s chemical resistance to cosmetic ingredients — including alcohol, esters, and essential oils — prevents hazing or crazing during extended product contact. This chemical resistance advantage over acrylic (which crazes under alcohol contact) and polycarbonate (which stress-cracks under ester exposure) makes PETG the material of choice for cosmetic packaging where the sheet may be in direct contact with fragrance or skincare formulations.

Jwell PETG lines can produce sheet in custom colors and with UV-blocking additives for luxury packaging that must maintain appearance under retail display lighting conditions.
