Film-to-Film Lamination

Flexibility, durability and sustainability can go hand in hand – with the right packaging. Several layers of film combined with the right adhesive formulation result in packaging solutions with desirable properties, such as good mechanical stability, good printability or light impermeability. 


That’s why multilayered packaging is ideal for highly customizable products such as stand-up pouches. 
A viable alternative at all performance levels, the Epotal® family stands out with innovative, dedicated products such as the 1C solution for medium-performance applications, home compostable adhesives and retort solutions that can even be used for digital printing processes and barrier products. Besides the most important function of protecting food with the right packaging, we go one step further and ensure that our products enable more-sustainable end-of-life options.
