Thermal laminating films and laminationLamination is done to protect our prints. When we join two or more layers, we call it laminate. The process of making a laminate is called Lamination. During laminating our print can be covered by bonding on one or both sides. Thermal laminating films are heat sensitive films having ability to make good bond with media in the presense of heat and pressure. Heat sensitive laminating adhesive like EVA ethylene vinyl acetate is used for this purpose. Types of thermal laminating films 1. BOPP / OPP thermal laminating films 2. PET (Polyester) thermal laminating films 3. Nylon thermal laminating films 4. Metallized thermal laminating films Laminating machines or laminators (Laminating equipments)1. Roll laminator or Hot roll laminator 3. Pouch laminator - Pouch lamination process, Specification and defects. Laminating processes1. Thermal lamination (heat or dry lamination) 2. Wet lamination 3.
