Glossy Film Lamination

This application can be used to protect printed surfaces from abrasion and to enhance their tear resistance.

Glossy film lamination is the sophisticated way to refine printed products. The process involves the use of an adhesive to laminate plastic film onto a printed packaging carton. This procedure not only enhances the performance characteristics of the packaging, but also increases its appeal and shine. Explore our solutions for packaging materials!
