LAMINATION
Combining Layers, Strengthening Performance.
Lamination is a key production stage that combines different film layers into a single high-performance packaging structure, enhancing strength, barrier properties, print protection and functional performance.
LAMINATION TECHNOLOGY
We combine film layers to achieve product-specific performance targets.
WHAT IS LAMINATION?
More than a single film: controlled layer architecture.
In flexible packaging, a single film cannot always provide every required property. Film layers with different functions are therefore combined through lamination to create a stronger packaging structure.
The outer layer can support print quality and mechanical strength, the inner layer sealing performance, and intermediate structures product-specific barrier properties.
The right laminate structure is engineered with the product’s shelf life, filling conditions, storage, logistics and end-use requirements in mind.
LAMINATION OPTIONS
Process alternatives suited to different product needs.
01 / SOLVENT-BASED
Solvent-Based Lamination
A lamination solution for multilayer flexible packaging structures requiring high performance and strength.
02 / SOLVENT-FREE
Solvent-Free Lamination
A modern lamination option suited to efficient production and a variety of flexible packaging applications.
03 / WATER-BASED
Water-Based Lamination
A lamination approach for different production objectives, evaluated according to the project and material structure.
TECHNICAL STRUCTURE
Every layer performs a specific function.
In laminate design, the film combination is selected by evaluating mechanical strength, print protection, sealing behaviour, barrier and functional properties together.
01
Outer Film
Supports the print surface, visual quality and mechanical strength.
02
Intermediate Layer
Enhances barrier, rigidity and structural performance according to the project.
03
Inner / Sealant Film
Provides the packaging’s sealing performance and product-contact inner surface.
04
Adhesive System
A lamination process suited to the film combination and target performance.
05
Curing & Inspection
Inspection of the post-lamination structure in line with the production plan.
WHY LAMINATION?
It increases packaging protection layer by layer.
Lamination combines the advantages of different materials within one structure, allowing the packaging to deliver more controlled performance both on the production line and throughout its shelf life.
