Description of Plastic Film Lamination

Shanghai Box Packing Solution is a professional and reliable Chinese manufacturer of boxes with plastic lamination. Laminated paper provides a glossy or matte appearance to the surface. Lamination is a process where a plastic film is heated and attached to printed paper. This process is available in both glossy and matte lamination finishes. The paper packaging materials used for this process include art paper, CCNB, ivory board, Kraft paper, and specialty paper. It is important to note that lamination is done only after the paper is printed.

Why Choose Plastic Film Lamination?

Plastic film lamination is chosen when there is a need for the entire printed surface to appear glossy or matte, and to protect the printing ink for a premium touch and feel. Corrugated fiberboard boxes are an example of laminated structures, where an inner core provides rigidity and strength, and the outer layers provide a smooth surface.

Laminating paper products such as photographs can prevent them from becoming creased, faded, water-damaged, wrinkled, stained, smudged, abraded, or marked by grease or fingerprints. Photo identification cards and credit cards are almost always laminated with plastic film. Additionally, lamination is needed for further finishing steps like UV varnishing, spot UV, and hot foil stamping, as it is a durable material that can withstand all kinds of heat and handling.

In conclusion, plastic film lamination is a great choice for:

Protection against dirt and dust
Anti-scratch protection
Protection against fading and color changes
Waterproofing
A professional quality look and feel
