What is Thermal Lamination
Thermal lamination for book covers, packaging boxes, folders, and other printed paperboard materials uses BOPP, PET, or PVC films with a heat-activated adhesive layer. The laminating machine heats rollers to 100°C–130°C to activate the adhesive, while printed sheets pass through and are coated with the film. Pressure from the heated rollers ensures a smooth, bubble-free finish. This process enhances appearance, adds durability, and provides protection against moisture, scratches, and wear—making it ideal for high-quality print and packaging applications.
