They may also be treated with a standard or custom finish to create a certain level of visual clarity, such as that created by a non-glare, satin matte finish. Some types of plastic J channels, like flexible vinyl J channels, do not necessarily have to only run on a straight line application, but rather can conform to any shape.

This conformity, achieved by cutting slits on the nailing strip, is especially applicable to irregularly shaped applications, such as round, oval, half round and other curve shaped windows, louvers and the like. To secure the plastic J channel to its application, manufacturers offer various types of adhesives, such as white foam adhesive, peel-and-stick tape, clear tape adhesive or rubber-based film tape.

Among other applications, plastic J channels are used as and on: sign holders, decorative trim, picture frames, window frames, doors, wire organization, cable management, ticket sliding in food service, bus bar insulators and conductor bar protectors.
